Yexio: Brake Data Center

The YEXIO Brake Data Center is a planned, large-scale data centre facility located in Brake, Germany (in the northern region of the country). It is part of the YEXIO brand of sustainable digital-infrastructure developments.

The project is positioned to respond to growing demand for regional, energy-efficient and high-performance IT infrastructure, especially for edge and cloud workloads in Germany and Europe.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• It is projected to deliver around 10,000 m² (≈ 107,600 sq ft) of building area.
• The facility is under construction and expected to be completed in 2027.
• Designed with sustainability as a core component: the site will be powered by 100 % renewable energy, utilise direct water-cooling systems and integrate waste heat recovery.
• The construction will incorporate sustainable materials (for example, timber construction was referenced for other YEXIO projects) and seeks to set a benchmark for environmental efficiency.

🔐 Security & Compliance

While detailed specifications for the Brake facility are not fully publicly disclosed, the YEXIO development model emphasises:

• Secure design with robust physical infrastructure.
• Efficient mechanical and electrical systems meeting high performance and availability standards.
• Compliance with applicable German and European data-centre regulations, and aligned with the brand’s sustainable-by-design ethos.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• The Brake location offers proximity to regional fibre and utility infrastructure in northern Germany, enabling good interconnection opportunities.
• The facility is planned to operate as carrier-neutral, enabling clients to benefit from flexible network access, dark-fibre options and cloud-on-ramp connectivity.
• Its design targets enterprise, cloud and edge deployments that require distributed, sovereign infrastructure in Europe.

💼 Who It Serves

The YEXIO Brake Data Center is well-suited for:

• Cloud providers and SaaS platforms needing energy-efficient, scalable infrastructure in Germany.
• Enterprises and system integrators seeking regional colocation or hybrid-cloud capacity, especially in the German market.
• Organisations with sustainability mandates (e.g., ESG, green IT) wanting infrastructure built to high-efficiency and low-carbon standards.
• Data-intensive applications (e.g., AI/ML, IoT, edge compute) requiring modern cooling, high availability and regional latency advantages.
