What Nexspace Data Centers Gmbh does

nexspace data centers GmbH is a Germany-domiciled (Heidelberg), privately-held colocation operator founded in 2024, providing rack-space, power, cooling, and connectivity services to mid-market and regulated buyers across the DACH region. The company operates an 800 m² primary facility in the Heidelberg Innovation Park (252 racks, 2 MW connection with 100% redundancy, 99% availability per EN 50600 class 3), a 1,120 m² site in Graz, Austria, and has announced a third Stuttgart location at Sternhöhe on alstria office AG premises for second-half 2026. All sites are powered by 100% renewable electricity, and the Heidelberg facility uses regenerative district cooling from Stadtwerke Heidelberg combined with an Eisspeicher (ice storage) system for thermal grid balancing.

The product portfolio centers on colocation and is extended through connectivity services, a 30-year-rooted data center consulting practice covering KRITIS, NIS2, and EnEfG compliance, and an IT-marketplace layer of managed and cloud services via partners. Customer segments span Mittelstand mid-market firms, government agencies, KRITIS operators, and AI/cloud providers, with managed service providers as a reseller channel. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales augmented by partner-led distribution and a heavy events calendar (Data Centre World Frankfurt, it-sa, Expo Real, NET-ZERO Summit, DC Strategy Summit) plus memberships in GDA, ADCA, eco, and hip:com.

Revenue mechanics are recurring colocation subscriptions with professional-services overlay; pricing is not publicly disclosed and quotes are consultation-based. The company is capitalised by InfraRed Capital Partners, an infrastructure investor, and is led by Christian Zipp (CEO), Lars Schnidrig (CFO), and Thorsten Moßmann (CTO), with a 2025-vintage commercial buildout (Senior Business Director, Senior Sales Manager, Sales Director, Head of Marketing) signaling a pre-scale operating posture. Financials, headcount, and utilization are not disclosed in available source material, limiting quantitative assessment of current revenue intensity.
