noris network ag: Munich East Data Center

The Noris Network Data Center Munich East, located in Aschheim (east of Munich), is a modern, high-security colocation facility opened in mid-2017. Operated by Noris Network AG, it forms part of the company’s German data center network, interconnected via Noris’s proprietary backbone. 

Because Munich is an increasingly important hub for digital services and edge computing, Munich East serves both national and international enterprise, cloud, and network clients seeking low-latency presence in Bavaria.
