·DATACENTERS

Infrastructure that can’t fail.

We plan, build, operate and protect datacenters, from the first rack to a secure 24/7 operating model.

·THREE PILLARS

Build. Operate. Protect.

Three disciplines that only together make a reliable operating model.

Build & Planning

Site assessment, rack design, power, cooling, network, security zones and commissioning are planned together from the start, based on established datacenter and redundancy standards.

Operation & Availability

Monitoring, maintenance, patching, capacity planning and defined operating processes ensure stable and traceable infrastructure.

Protection & Monitoring

Physical security, network segmentation, access control, telemetry and security monitoring are integrated as part of the operating model.

·SITE & BUILDING

Visibly sovereign. On our own ground.

Modular facilities with their own power and cooling infrastructure, Tier III design and EU data residency, planned, operated and secured by one team.

  • ●
    Modular buildScalable from single server modules to a full facility.
  • ●
    EU locationsGermany-oriented data residency, dependable for planning.
  • ●
    Perimeter protectionPerimeter fence, lighting, video surveillance, guarded zone.
GAD datacenter. Reception area with security airlock
·RECEPTION & ACCESS

Controlled access. From the very first step.

Multi-stage access control, biometric airlocks and logged entries, physical security starts at reception, not at the rack.

  • ●
    Multi-factor airlockCard, biometrics and a single-person airlock at the entrance.
  • ●
    Security zonesClearly separated areas for reception, operations and servers.
  • ●
    Audit trailEvery entry is logged precisely by zone and time.

·SERVER HALL

Our own server architecture. Workload-oriented.

Server, storage, network and security racks are tailored to the workload, with a clear power, cooling and cabling architecture.

  • ●
    Server, storage & network separatedDedicated racks per function, no mixed load paths.
  • ●
    Cold-/Hot-Aisle-LayoutCooling follows the load, not the load the cooling.
  • ●
    Sensors per rackTemperature, airflow, power, live in the operating model.
GAD datacenter. Security Operations Center with live dashboard
·OPERATIONS & SOC

24/7 operations. People and AI working together.

Live telemetry, alerts with clear escalation logic and analysts who decide in the critical moment. Operations and security from one room.

  • ●
    Live-DashboardsPower, climate, network and security events on one bridge.
  • ●
    Defined response timesEscalation levels and responsibilities are documented.
  • ●
    GAD Defense Engine integratedAI-driven anomaly detection as part of the operating model.
USE CASES

Situations where we support you

Infrastructure & Operations

Operate sensitive workloads with sovereignty

Problem
Critical applications or data require controllable infrastructure and clear data residency.
Approach
We plan site, operating model, and security architecture together, aligned with protection needs and regulatory framework.
Benefit
More control over operations, data flows, and security architecture.
Datacenter
Infrastructure & Operations

Host security and SOC infrastructure

Problem
Monitoring, SIEM, or security systems process sensitive event data and require a controlled operating environment.
Approach
Dedicated security racks, segmented networks, and defined access models create a controlled environment for SOC platforms.
Benefit
Operation and protection of security-critical data in a controlled environment.
Datacenter
Infrastructure & Operations

Run AI workloads with control

Problem
AI applications need secure data spaces, scalable infrastructure, and clear access control.
Approach
Server, storage, and security architecture are tailored to AI workloads, including data and model governance in the operating model.
Benefit
Better control over data, models, permissions, and operating processes.
Datacenter
Infrastructure & Operations

Secure hybrid-cloud architectures

Problem
On-premises, EU cloud, and external services must work together securely, across identity, data flows, and monitoring.
Approach
We plan data flows, identity, encryption, and monitoring consistently across all environments, with European regulatory frameworks in mind.
Benefit
Fewer blind spots, clearer data flows, and consistent security architecture.

·TECHNICAL DISCIPLINES

Eight disciplines. One operating model.

A datacenter is not created by individual components, but by the interplay of architecture, power, cooling, network, security, monitoring and operating processes.

01

Racks & Hardware

Server, storage, network and security racks form the foundation, every workload gets the rack it needs.

02

Cooling & Climate

Water cooling, cold/hot aisle, free and adiabatic cooling, matched to load and location.

03

Power & Redundancy

Main supply, UPS, backup generator and N+1/2N distribution. Load paths are checked regularly.

04

Network & Connectivity

Fiber backbone, redundant routing, segmented switches, firewalls. Performance and security planned together.

05

Physical security

Perimeter, security zones, access control, video surveillance and rack-level locks, logged and auditable.

06

Fire protection

Early warning systems, inert-gas extinguishing concepts, zoned fire detection and defined emergency processes.

07

Monitoring & Telemetry

Live data on power, climate, network and security events. Dashboards, alerts and escalation as part of the operating model.

08

Efficiency & Sustainability

Energy efficiency, heat recovery, load management and resource-saving cooling, as planning levers when the site allows.
