Data centre
Sustainable and secure with wood

Data centre
made from DERIX wood

A data centre is a specially designed building in which the secure accommodation of IT hardware is the top priority. Wood as a building material is very well suited to the construction of a data centre: wood supports the cooling systems with its temperature-balancing properties and improves the data centre’s CO2 footprint. The material can be used so flexibly that a later expansion of the data centre can be planned and implemented excellently and the IT infrastructure can therefore be flexibly adapted to growing requirements.

Why build data centres
with DERIX wood?

When you build your data centre with wood, you are choosing a building material that offers your IT hardware reliable security. At the same time, wood is the building material of choice if you want to expand your IT infrastructure flexibly, implement solutions quickly and minimise maintenance costs. Wood also has excellent environmental protection properties. Get to know all the advantages.

Sustainability:
Improved CO2 footprint

The use of wood as a natural building material and the simultaneous substitution of concrete and steel leads to a significant reduction in the CO2 footprint. In addition, wood is a natural, renewable raw material. Find out more about sustainable building with wood. 

Reliable safety:
stability and fire protection

Wood is a very resilient material that can absorb large forces and remains stable even at extreme temperatures. The solid wooden components ensure a high level of burglary protection and therefore the security of your IT infrastructure. The natural material wood is characterised by low thermal conductivity and forms a protective carbon layer in the event of fire, which ensures that wood remains stable for longer than steel, for example, which quickly loses its load-bearing capacity at high temperatures. Wood has excellent temperature-regulating properties and can help to prevent temperature fluctuations.

High scalability:
Flexible extension

Data centres made of wood can be flexibly expanded. This is particularly true of prefabricated data centre modules, which can be quickly and easily assembled or disassembled as required. This means that your IT infrastructure can be expanded, reduced or implemented elsewhere at any time. As flexibly as you need it.

Short construction time:
Rapid realisation

Thanks to maximum element prefabrication in the factory, your new data centre can be assembled and used within a very short time. You benefit from the certainty of deadlines, which simplifies your planning and allows you to put your new infrastructure into operation promptly.

High durability:
Low maintenance costs

Data centres made of solid wood are characterised by their enormous stability and robustness, which results in low maintenance costs. The data centres are manufactured under optimal industrial conditions with high precision and therefore achieve a consistently high quality.

Current show case:
Data centre as a wooden module

Together with our partner Prior1, experts in data centres, we are now offering the data centre as a wooden module. The IT Container Eco Fix product combines the advantages of flexibility, mobility and rapid availability in a particularly convincing way.

Flexibility:
scalability and mobility

With modular data centres such as the IT Container Fix – Wood, you can convert your IT infrastructure quickly and easily: depending on your requirements, you can expand or reduce the space your hardware needs. The location can be flexibly selected and changed.

Availability:
Short delivery times and fast assembly

The IT Container Fix – Wood is completely prefabricated at DERIX and dismantled at Prior 1. It is then simply set up on your premises and is fully operational immediately after assembly. This provides you with maximum planning reliability and adherence to deadlines.

Complete package:
Components pre-installed

We deliver your data centre module with equipment details that take all important aspects into account. Cooling, electrical, fire protection and security components are already pre-installed.

Green IT:
Easier to fulfil ESG requirements thanks to timber construction

The enormoussustainability benefits of wood as a building material have a positive effect on the CO2 footprint and make it easier to fulfil ESG requirements.

Customised glulam

Our glued laminated timber (glulam) can be used to build customised structures, as we can produce the components in almost any shape and size – entirely according to your wishes. The kiln-dried wooden planks are finger-jointed to form long lamellas. Discover our wide range of glulam.

Sustainable building with wood

Wood is a renewable and natural raw material that stores CO2 and thus reduces the burden on the environment. Buildings made of wood thus have a positive effect on the atmosphere and always remain a source of raw materials due to the reusability of wood.
