What FMService GmbH does

Daterra Datacenter Solutions GmbH (formerly FMService GmbH) is a Düsseldorf-based 360° service provider for data center and telecommunications infrastructure, operating exclusively in the German market. The company delivers an integrated portfolio spanning consulting, site analysis, planning, architecture, and general contractor execution for complete data center projects, alongside specialized technical services for server room cooling, fire protection and suppression systems, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) infrastructure. Its productized offerings include modular and mobile data center units for flexible and decentralized deployment, supported by a web-based Data Center Configurator for online requirements capture.

Target customers are critical infrastructure operators — telecommunications providers, railway operators, industrial firms, and large enterprises — with a documented specialization in retrofitting and extending data centers during live operation without service interruption. The company holds ISO 45001 certification for occupational health and safety management and operates as a privately held German GmbH with no disclosed external funding.
