maincubes, a European data center operator, offering colocation solutions for cloud service providers, the public sector, global enterprises, and hyperscalers, announces its newest and largest data center, FRA04, in the Frankfurt area.
FRA04 is located in the Rhine-Main Metropolitan Area, south of Frankfurt in Dietzenbach. It will provide approximately 12,500 square meters of whitespace and 40 MW of IT capacity. maincubes has acquired the site with a committed power of 60 MW, making FRA04 the largest data center development for maincubes to date. This facility will ideally support the growing high-performance computing and AI needs of hyperscalers.
“maincubes stands out from other providers for several reasons,” Oliver Menzel, CEO of maincubes, says. “First, as a European company, we are independent and capable of offering the best solutions for data protection and data sovereignty. Second, we understand that efficiency and sustainability are crucial factors for organizations in the hyperscaler and artificial intelligence sectors when selecting a data center. With our successful Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) registration and the implementation of the ESG framework according to GRESB, we not only meet current customer requirements but are also prepared for future EU regulatory requirements for data center operators.”
Patrick Schütz, CRO of maincubes, adds: “AI and the advancing digitization in the global economy demand significant data center capacities within a short period. Due to its central location in Europe, robust infrastructure, existing internet exchange points, and a high level of data protection, Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region are highly sought-after locations. Here, hyperscalers and a growing number of AI companies compete intensively for the limited available capacities in the data center market.”
maincubes FRA04 is expected to be operational in 2027 and marks the first of several hyperscale developments on maincubes’ growth trajectory.
