luxconnect: DC 1.1

Situated at 202 Z.A.E. Wolser F, L-3290 Bettembourg in Luxembourg, DC 1.1 is the first data centre facility in LuxConnect’s Bettembourg ICT campus and has been operational since June 2009.

As a carrier-neutral, high-availability facility certified to Tier IV design standards by the Uptime Institute, DC 1.1 offers a strategic location at the heart of Europe for enterprises requiring resilient infrastructure, strong connectivity and sustainable operations.

Its placement in Bettembourg capitalises on Luxembourg’s well-connected fibre network and proximity to major Western European markets, making it a suitable hub for colocation, interconnection and cloud-hybrid deployments.
