telemaxx telekommunikation gmbh: IPC 5 Data Center

Located in the Karlsruhe technology region in Germany, IPC 5 is the most modern data centre operated by TelemaxX Telekommunikation GmbH (TelemaxX). 

Designed specifically for high resilience and critical IT workloads, IPC 5 offers customers a facility with strong redundancy, energy-efficient cooling and extensive infrastructure.

Its location in Karlsruhe means it benefits from excellent connectivity via the operator’s fibre network and its proximity to major German backbone infrastructures, making it a strategic choice for enterprises seeking a secure, laid-out German colocation footprint.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• Approximately 2,000 m² of usable colocation space. 
• Redundancy level: 2N power and cooling architecture for high availability. 
• Notable cooling design: optimized air-conditioning with cold-aisle / hot-aisle layout and free-cooling where applicable. 
• Power backup: For IPC 5, the factsheet shows 120 hours autonomy for emergency power supply (NEA) when fully loaded.
• Modern infrastructure: includes raised floors for technical installations and large room height technical halls, as documented in project reference materials

🔐 Security & Compliance

• Certified under ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management. 
• Meets TÜV IT standard EN 50600 availability class 3 for data centre infrastructure.
• Security infrastructure includes four separate fire-compartments, person-singularisation (i.e., access control to ensure one person at a time enters), video surveillance, and controlled access systems. 

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• TelemaxX operates its own fibre-optic backbone, and clients benefit from connectivity via multiple upstream IP providers; the company states connectivity via six different IP upstreams, distributed over several data centres and linked to the DE-CIX in Frankfurt. 
• Carrier-neutral environment (TelemaxX’s data halls accept external carriers) and the facility’s purpose built in the Karlsruhe region supports robust network interconnect and peering opportunities.
• Located in a region with excellent access to German national backbone and metropolitan fibre nodes, making IPC 5 suitable for latency-sensitive or inter-regional workloads.

💼 Who It Serves

• Enterprises and mid-sized businesses in Germany or Europe requiring high-availability colocation with strong physical and network resilience.
• Service-providers, hosting firms and cloud operators looking for a German-based facility with certification compliance and infrastructure ready for mission-critical operations.
• Companies that value sustainability and efficiency, given TelemaxX’s emphasis on environmentally-aware cooling and energy management. 
• Organisations requiring local data-residency in Germany, strong security compliance, and direct access to German fibre and network infrastructure.
