Nexspace data centers

nexspace data centers GmbH is a German private data center company headquartered in Heidelberg, Germany. The company was founded in 2023 and positions itself as a developer and operator of modern, sustainable data centers for the DACH region. Its public portfolio centers on colocation, connectivity services, data center services, data center consulting, and managed services, with the company describing its target market as MSPs, SMEs, major corporations, public authorities, KRITIS, and AI and cloud operators. Beyond its own website, external sources show that Nexspace was launched as a DACH data center platform by InfraRed Capital Partners in partnership with local developers, and that it later entered Austria through the acquisition of a data center development site in Graz.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

Data Center Footprint:

Nexspace publicly presents a DACH location footprint spanning Heidelberg, Graz, and Stuttgart. Its locations page describes Heidelberg and Graz as active footprint locations and states that a new Stuttgart site at Campus Sternhöhe is planned from summer 2026.

For the currently published sites, Nexspace lists Heidelberg at 252 racks, 2 MW connected power, 800 m² IT space, and 100 percent renewable energy, while Graz is listed at 320 racks, 2 MW connected power, 1,120 m² IT space, with expansion capacity to 2,000 m². At the same time, external legal coverage is important context: Latham & Watkins described the Austria move as an acquisition of a data center development site in Graz, so the Graz entry should be treated as part of Nexspace’s published footprint but with evidence that the Austrian site has been in a development and expansion phase.

For Stuttgart, Nexspace says the site will deliver modern colocation capacity in a regional industry and research cluster, while its locations page also markets the future site around carrier neutral connectivity, optional dark fiber, low design PUE, and EN 50600 VK III certification.

Facility Design & Infrastructure:

Nexspace markets its colocation offering from a DIN EN 50600 certified data center environment and says its colocation service is delivered in a DIN EN 50600 certified data center. Its Heidelberg fact sheet adds more specific infrastructure detail, including EN 50600 certified (AC3), 20 kV redundant medium voltage supply, 2N power supply, 2N district cooling, raised floor, 1,600 kg freight elevator, 24/7 video surveillance, and air conditioning according to ASHRAE standard.

The company’s published colocation deployment models include 19 inch server cabinets, rack space, and cages. Nexspace also explicitly offers remote hands, and its Heidelberg fact sheet states 10 kW per rack as standard with higher density above 10 kW on request.

Nexspace also positions its infrastructure around sustainability. The Heidelberg fact sheet states 100 percent green power and 1.2 PUE, and the Stuttgart location materials emphasize a district cooling and campus heating concept.

Service Portfolio Overview:

Nexspace publicly markets colocation services, connectivity services, data center services, data center consulting, and managed services. Its managed services page further breaks this into Cloud Services, Network and Security Management, and Managed Infrastructure Services, while its consulting page highlights advisory work around KRITIS, NIS2, energy efficiency, and IT infrastructure strategy.

The company also states that cloud services are delivered together with partner CloudKleyer, rather than being described on the public site as a fully self operated standalone cloud platform under Nexspace alone.

🔐 Security & Compliance

Infrastructure Resilience:

Nexspace’s public materials describe its data centers as high availability environments with redundant power and cooling, while the Heidelberg fact sheet specifies 99.99 percent availability, 2N power supply, 2N district cooling, and 20 kV redundant medium voltage supply. The company also states that its sites are designed for maximum uptime, fail safety, and scalable operation.

For Stuttgart, Nexspace additionally markets a design PUE of 1.2 and EN 50600 VK III positioning, reinforcing its resilience and efficiency messaging for that future facility.

Physical & Logical Security:

Nexspace states that its data center services include access control, video surveillance, and alarm management 24/7. Its colocation materials add secure access, video monitoring, and exclusive access for authorized personnel in cage deployments. The company also describes continuous monitoring and robust security mechanisms across its data center and managed service portfolio.

For customers with stronger segregation requirements, Nexspace explicitly markets cages as separate secure areas suited to organizations with strict compliance requirements or sensitive data.

Compliance & Standards:

Nexspace publicly documents DIN EN 50600 certification for its data centers, with the Heidelberg fact sheet specifically stating EN 50600 certified (AC3) and describing the standard as a holistic data center standard for availability and security. Nexspace also publicly states that more certifications are to come and that it provides advice around KRITIS and NIS2.

No public evidence was found in the reviewed sources for ISO 27001, ISO 9001, SOC 1, SOC 2, or PCI DSS certifications under nexspace data centers GmbH itself.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

Carrier Neutrality:

Nexspace explicitly markets carrier neutral connectivity. Its Heidelberg fact sheet states carrier neutral data center, and the Stuttgart location page also describes the future site as carrier neutral with local ISPs and optional dark fiber.

Network Capabilities:

The Heidelberg fact sheet lists connectivity to global and regional internet exchanges, global and regional carriers, cloud hyperscalers, and an own DWDM platform. Nexspace’s colocation page also references optional internet access via nex cross connect. In managed services, the company additionally markets Network and Security Management and refers to hybrid cloud solutions.

What is not clearly published in the reviewed sources is a detailed catalog of branded network products such as MPLS, Ethernet, private line, or SD WAN under Nexspace’s own name.

Connectivity Use Cases:

Based on Nexspace’s published services, the strongest verified connectivity use cases are carrier neutral colocation, cross connects, access to carriers and IXs, cloud adjacent connectivity to hyperscalers, hybrid cloud architectures, and regional low latency deployments in the DACH region. The company also positions its sites for AI, research, and other data intensive use cases where low latency and scalable regional capacity matter.

💼 Who It Serves

Nexspace says it serves MSPs and companies of all sizes from SMEs to major corporations in the DACH region. Its homepage also names public authorities, KRITIS, and AI and cloud operators as target segments. Sector and solution pages further support positioning toward organizations with strong needs around sensitive data, compliance, sustainability, and low latency processing, including research oriented environments.
