Telekommunikation Mittleres Ruhrgebiet GmbH: Bochum 2 Data center

Located at Uhlandstraße 40, 44791 Bochum in Germany, the “Bochum 2” data centre is operated by TMR – Telekommunikation Mittleres Ruhrgebiet GmbH. The company has over 25 years of experience delivering telecom and data-centre services in the Ruhr region. The facility sits in the heart of the Ruhr metropolitan area—a dense industrial and digital hub—offering convenient access to Germany’s network backbone, fibre infrastructure and enterprise customers seeking local-market high-availability colocation and connectivity. TMR-Bochum 2 therefore serves as a reliable regional node for hosting, connectivity and cloud-adjacent infrastructure in North-Rhine Westphalia.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• The data centre offers a total power capacity of approximately 2.5 MW, enabling a meaningful scale for mid-tier deployments.
• The power supply infrastructure includes redundant configurations (N+1 and 2N) to support continuous operation under fault conditions.
• The cooling and environmental systems are designed for high availability, with redundant mechanical systems, precision controls for temperature/humidity, and appropriate raised-floor / air-conditioning design.
• Modular rack spaces, cages and potentially private rooms are available, allowing flexible deployment for enterprise, carrier or managed-hosting customers.
• As the facility is integrated with TMR’s regional fibre and network services, it supports both connectivity-rich and infrastructure-light deployment models.

🔐 Security & Compliance

• 24/7 onsite operations and physical security including CCTV monitoring, access control systems (card-key or biometric) and man-trap / secure zones ensure strong protection of tenant infrastructure.
• Structural resilience and redundant infrastructure (power, cooling, network) reduce single points of failure and support high availability.
• The facility is aligned with German and European operational standards for commercial data centres, offering customers a regionally governed environment for compliance-sensitive workloads.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• The facility is carrier-neutral, enabling customers to connect to multiple providers and take advantage of diverse fibre-entry paths in the Ruhr area.
• Because Bochum lies in a major industrial and network region, the data centre benefits from access to established backbone and metro fibre networks—supporting low-latency, high-throughput connectivity for enterprise, carrier and cloud customers.
• The data centre also is part of the broader networking ecosystem in the Ruhr region, including peering and exchange opportunities via infrastructure such as the regional Internet exchange node.

💼 Who It Serves

• Mid-market enterprises and SaaS providers seeking a German-based colocation site with dependable power, cooling and connectivity, located in the Ruhr region.
• Carriers, network service providers and telecom operators requiring regional footprint, interconnection options and access to urban fibre infrastructure.
• Managed-service providers, IT outsourcing firms and cloud/hybrid-cloud integrators needing a secure, well-connected base for housing infrastructure and linking to core networks.
• Organisations with regulatory or data-sovereignty needs within Germany that prefer a local-market data-centre provider rather than larger pan-European ones.
