Modern data centre for the Würth Group 07 August 2015

On 10th June 2015, the Würth Group inaugurated the Group’s new data centre in Niedernhall, Germany.

The 5,220m² building complex accommodates a 1,000m² state of the art, energy-efficient data centre as well as 125 workplaces for software development, IT infrastructure, network technology, virtualisation, server technology and storage of both the Würth Group and the Würth Elektronik Group. 
Prof. Dr. h. c. mult. Reinhold Würth, chairman of the supervisory board of the Würth Group’s Family Trusts, district administrator Dr Matthias Neth, and Achim Beck, mayor of the town of Niedernhall, participated in the inauguration ceremony.
The IT technology centre will be the new ‘digital heart’ of the Würth Group. The new data centre with its forward-looking architecture forms part of the so-called ‘Hohenlohe ring’, which also comprises the existing data centers in Gaisbach and Waldenburg. Würth considers this real time backup network a milestone of IT availability and IT security for the entire group of companies. Employing modern air conditioning including the use of waste heat thanks to heat exchangers, the new data centre requires 70% less energy than comparable facilities.
