Since its foundation, the mission of Cloud&Heat Technologies has been to make sustainability a driver of digital innovation. The Dresden-based company develops, builds and operates energy-efficient, scalable and secure data centres that meet the requirements of the future cloud. Private and public cloud solutions based on OpenStack are offered both as customised solutions for SMEs, such as the company’s Datacenter in a Box (DiaB) and Datacenter Container (DCC) products, as well as in the form of technology solutions for larger IT infrastructure players. Both business areas use Cloud&Heat’s innovative hot water direct cooling, which is highly efficient but also enables the re-use of the waste heat; water at a constant temperature of 60 degrees connects directly to building or district heating systems. Thereby, Cloud&Heat builds and operates the world's most energy- and cost-efficient data centres.
