Answers to Key Questions about DCI
Yes, 100%. As independent consultants and planners, we are not tied to any specific manufacturers of hardware, cooling units, or UPS systems. We exclusively recommend solutions that offer the best technical and economic fit for your requirements. This neutrality is our most important quality promise.
Our headquarters are located in Elben (Westerwald), but we operate throughout Germany as well as the entire DACH region. Thanks to modern digital workflows and mobile teams, we manage projects from Hamburg to Munich and beyond.
For all of them. We place no limits on project size. Our expertise is fully scalable: We plan and implement small server rooms for local businesses with the same precision and passion as complex, large-scale data centers for corporations or public sector clients. Every project is important to us.
The initial consultation (online or via phone) is always free of charge and non-binding. We use this meeting to understand your situation (potential analysis) and to determine if we are the right partner for your project. Only then do we prepare a transparent proposal.
We do not work with arbitrary flat rates. Our fees are based either on the HOAI (Official Fee Scale for Architects and Engineers) for construction projects or on a clearly defined scope of services for consulting and analysis projects. This ensures you have full cost certainty from the very beginning.
We are General Planners and Project Managers, not a construction company. This means: We design the data center, tender the specific trades (construction, HVAC, electrical), and supervise the executing companies. This guarantees build quality, as we act as your "advocates" to monitor the construction firms.
Yes. We are listed with the German Federal Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt) and are an official consultant for the Blue Angel (DE-UZ 228). We guide you securely through the complex application process and verify whether your data center meets the strict criteria for energy efficiency and resource conservation.
Yes, this is one of our core competencies. Modernizing or expanding a data center without downtime requires extremely precise planning and coordination of all trades. We create detailed migration concepts specifically for this purpose.
We offer a holistic approach (Integrated Management Systems). We prepare you for ISO 27001 (Information Security), ISO 50001 (Energy Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), as well as the specific data center standard ISO 22237, and support you all the way through to the successful audit.
The EnEfG mandates specific PUE values and waste heat recovery. As experts in EN 50600 and energy efficiency, we analyze your existing facilities, conduct the required energy audits, and develop action plans to avoid fines and ensure full legal compliance.
EN 50600 is the European standard, while ISO 22237 is its international counterpart. Both regulate availability and infrastructure. We advise you on which standard aligns best with your business goals (e.g., for international clients) and implement the necessary requirements during the planning phase.
Yes. If you are planning a new build, we integrate LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) requirements directly into the data center design. This includes building materials, site selection, and water efficiency to ensure you achieve a high score in the rating system.
Every good decision starts with a conversation. Let’s determine how we can best support you during a non-binding initial consultation.
