Digital Realty (FRA18)
Digital Realty has unveiled its state-of-the-art FRA18 data center in Frankfurt, Germany, located within the historic former Neckermann headquarters at the Digital Park Fechenheim campus. This cutting-edge facility is specifically designed to support high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) workloads while preserving the architectural heritage of the site.
Capacity and Infrastructure
FRA18 offers 8,080 square meters of white space and launched with an initial power capacity of 6.4 megawatts (MW), with plans to expand to 9.6 MW and a full build-out of 16 MW. It features robust infrastructure including 2N UPS redundancy, N+1 cooling and standby power, and 24/7 availability of both security and technical staff. The facility provides a variety of deployment options including full and partial cabinets, shared rackspace, cages, suites, and dedicated footprints, all supported by remote hands services.
Sustainability Initiatives
In alignment with Digital Realty’s sustainability strategy, FRA18 incorporates an innovative heat reuse system developed in partnership with Mainova. This system captures and repurposes residual heat from the data center to support the local district heating network, reducing environmental impact and improving energy efficiency.
Certifications and Compliance
The data center is certified for multiple international standards, ensuring high levels of quality, security, and sustainability. These include ISO 27001 (Information Security), ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), ISO 22301 (Business Continuity), ISO 50001 (Energy Management), and PCI DSS compliance.
Security and Connectivity
FRA18 is equipped with advanced security features such as biometric and card access controls, mantrap entry, 24/7 CCTV surveillance, and a nitrogen gas fire suppression system. A dedicated Meet-Me-Room (MMR) ensures high-performance connectivity, supporting interconnection with carriers and cloud providers.
Future Vision
FRA18 is the first of 11 planned data centers within the Digital Park Fechenheim campus, which aims to deliver a total IT area of 100,000 square meters and 200 MW of capacity by 2028. The facility represents a critical step in Digital Realty’s expansion in Frankfurt, combining historical preservation with next-generation digital infrastructure.
