Why Frankfurt?
Let’s explore why Frankfurt is the ideal location for our latest data center expansion.
1. Economic stability and cost-efficiency
Frankfurt is the financial hub of Germany and one of the leading financial centers of Europe.
Its robust infrastructure, highly skilled workforce, and competitive utility costs make it a prime location for data center operations.
By expanding into Frankfurt, LifeinCloud positions itself at the heart of Europe’s economic engine, ensuring cost-efficient and high-performing cloud services.
2. Geographic and climatic advantages
Strategically located in central Europe, Frankfurt offers a temperate climate that reduces cooling costs for data centers. Furthermore, Germany’s strict building regulations minimize the risks of natural disasters like earthquakes or floods, making Frankfurt a secure location for hosting critical infrastructure.
3. Data governance and GDPR compliance
Germany is known for its stringent data privacy laws, and hosting data within the country ensures compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Frankfurt’s legal framework guarantees that data stored within our new availability zone is handled securely and transparently, providing our clients with peace of mind.
4. Superior cybersecurity
Frankfurt is a global hub for internet traffic, hosting one of the world’s largest internet exchanges, DE-CIX.

Additionally, Germany’s focus on cybersecurity ensures that the infrastructure supporting our availability zone meets the highest security standards, protecting clients against evolving cyber threats.
“Greatness is not a function of circumstance it’s a matter of conscious choice and discipline.”
Our decision to establish an availability zone in Frankfurt reflects this disciplined approach.
