What VegaSystems & Co does

VegaSystems GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held German IT infrastructure provider founded in 1997 in Paderborn, operating its own ISO 27001-certified data centers in Paderborn and Bielefeld.

The platform is differentiated by sustainability credentials (PUE of 1.08 versus a German average of 1.62, 100% green electricity, on-site photovoltaic generation, server heat recovery used to warm office buildings) and by German-only data residency that supports GDPR, Trusted Cloud, NIS-2, and IT Security made in Germany compliance.

Operations are led by Managing Directors Tobias Altemeier and Sascha Fleiss, and the company is registered with the Bundesnetzagentur and certified annually by TÜV Rheinland.
