tele columbus: Leipzig Data Center

Located in Leipzig (Lindenau/West region) and operated by HL komm Telekommunikations GmbH — a subsidiary of Tele Columbus AG under the PŸUR Business brand — the PŸUR Business Data Center Leipzig offers high-security, carrier-grade colocation and interconnect services within central Germany. It stands out for its strategic positioning with direct access to major network nodes (like DE‑CIX, AMS‑IX, BCIX) and its construction to robust international standards (DIN EN 50600 availability class 3). 

Its modular build-out and renewable-energy powered infrastructure give it both scalability and sustainability advantages — appealing to enterprises, service providers and hyperscale customers alike.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• Redundancy & tier: The facility is certified to availability class 3 under DIN EN 50600 and TSI.STANDARD V4.2 Level 3 by TÜV NORD, meaning all active supply components are redundant, and high-availability systems are built in. 
• PUE & sustainable energy: The centre was designed with a target PUE of ~1.2 at 100% load, and the power supply is sourced fully from renewable energy. 
• Connectivity: It is directly connected to major interconnection points such as DE-CIX, AMS-IX and BCIX, and supports dark-fiber and multi-100 Gbps backbone links. 
• Scalability: The modular build allowed for initial~1,400 m² of data-hall space with doubling potential (to ~2,800 m²) according to earlier planning announcements. 
• Support services: Colocation, rack/cage options, dedicated security zones, georedundant configurations, service-desk/operations 24/7. 

🔐 Security & Compliance

• 24/7 monitoring, multi-layer access controls (man-traps, biometric or card entry), perimeter and supply-line protections. 
• Certifications: The Leipzig West facility is certified to DIN EN 50600 availability class 3 and TSI Level 3. 
• Fire & suppression: Built to high security / high availability standards including architectural protections of supply lines, fire-suppression systems, redundant power and cooling supply. 

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• Carrier-neutral environment: Supports multiple network providers, dark fibre connectivity, and is part of the PŸUR Business backbone offering which spans multiple data centres. 
• Redundant fibre paths: Multi-100 Gbps and dark-fiber backbone infrastructure with connections for major content/telecom operators (e.g., O2 Telefónica Germany recently deployed 64 racks/256 kW with 8 dark-fibre routes). 
• Cloud-on-ramp and interconnect: Built to facilitate hybrid/multi-cloud workloads, large interconnects and low-latency access to European hubs. 

💼 Who It Serves

• Enterprises requiring high-availability, high-compliance data-centre presence within Germany, especially those needing German data-sovereignty and strong network access.
• Telecom / network operators and content providers needing carrier-grade interconnect, dark-fibre, and high rack/power densities (as evidenced by recent O2 move).
• SaaS/cloud/edge computing providers that seek a central German location with strong connectivity and scalability.
• Organisations with regulated workloads (finance, public sector) requiring certified infrastructure and strong physical/logical security.
