Close.

Low Latency.

We are connected, with latency of 6 ms or less across all of Germany’s metropolitan areas through a combination of geographical proximity and innovative connectivity partnerships - based on Round Trip Latency network measurements of the dominant carrier from the data center to a 5G tower.

Coupled.

Innovation in Sustainability.

nLighten is committed to continuous improvement in sustainability and implementing innovative solutions. In Germany, our vision is for our data centers to be increasingly coupled to the energy sector, seeking to recover heat for the local community and stabilize the grid, using energy increasingly from onsite renewable generation.
