We empower IT

Weatherproof. Robust. Secure.

IT protection in any environment

If your IT has to be located outdoors, there can be no compromises. Despite its permanent exposure to potentially extreme conditions, outdoor infrastructure still needs to work reliably. Our outdoor housing solutions offer protection against the weather, physical threats and unauthorised access. Robust materials, corrosion-resistant surfaces and intelligent climate control ensure a durable, energy-efficient and fail-safe IT environment – wherever it is needed.

Modular IT security solutions

Container solutions

High-performance IT infrastructure. Anywhere.

Data centres based on predefined container modules can be flexibly extended and are suitable for locations that are difficult to access. Ideal for installing outdoors – if there is no room in the building, for instance. Our outdoor containers enable you to create a high-performance IT infrastructure in no time at all.

Use cases

Digital rail, maximum security

Rail industry

Whether it’s a case of edge data processing at stations or for signal boxes, our outdoor housing solutions protect networked IT platforms that enable mobile communication along rail lines and support reliable, punctual rail operations.

Secure data and free-flowing traffic

Mobility

Autonomous vehicles require accurate data in real time. This calls for data analyses on a huge scale. Our outdoor housing solutions provide a secure IT environment close to the data source, minimise latencies and support lightning-fast analyses.

Smart cities with no IT risks

Government

In smart cities, data needs to be processed on the spot – quickly, securely and whatever the weather. Our outdoor solutions support decentralised data processing and offer reliable protection for urban IT systems.

Stable connections whatever the weather

Telecommunications

Sensitive IT and network technology must be reliably protected against wind, rain, snow, heat and cold. Our weatherproof outdoor housing solutions ensure reliable operation of critical telecommunications systems such as BOS radio and 5G.

Growth without construction sites – IT solutions for energy installations

Energy

From urban network nodes to remote wind and solar fields – energy installations require a high-performance IT infrastructure. There is often insufficient space inside. Our outdoor solutions are the answer – they’re weatherproof, secure and efficient.

Colocation – when scaling is called for

Colocation

When data centre capacities need to be expanded at short notice, our container solutions offer infrastructure that is ready to use immediately. Energy-efficient climate control makes them ideal for supplying colocation solutions fast.

Reliable healthcare anywhere

Healthcare

Vital data and systems must be ready to use at any time. Stable on-site data processing is a must for mobile diagnostic units and temporary test stations. Our outdoor housing solutions provide optimum protection in such cases.

Reliable IT for industrial applications

Industry

The IT for your production facilities needs to be protected against the weather to ensure everything operates smoothly. Our outdoor enclosures offer a secure environment for IT infrastructure, control systems, sensor technology and automation solutions.

No limits on research – IT infrastructure for any location

Research

Our outdoor container solutions come into their own when installing IT infrastructure in conventional buildings is not an option. They enable weatherproof, on-the-spot data processing at research facilities, including for temporary projects.

The compact cooling units in the Blue e+ series are playing a key role in improving our carbon footprint.
