Sustainable data centers: The foundation of the digital future
aixit sees itself as an active driver of sustainable digital infrastructures. As a data center operator, we combine technological excellence with scientific research to develop solutions that meet the requirements of the present and the future. Data centers are not only the foundation of digital services, but also a key area for innovation in energy efficiency and resource conservation.
Our goal is to sustainably improve the ecological balance of the IT industry through the use of environmentally friendly technologies such as renewable energies, AI-supported optimizations, and innovative waste heat utilization.
Partnerships between business and science
Scientific cooperation is at the heart of our innovation strategy. We combine research and practice in collaboration with scientific partners such as the University of Paderborn and our membership in the SICP (Software Innovation Campus Paderborn). Our projects are focused on researching sustainable technologies and supporting the practical implementation of the results.
We offer research institutions an active platform for testing practical applications of scientific findings. Our infrastructure enables innovative concepts to be tested under real-world conditions and requirements for marketable solutions to be derived. Together with our scientific partners, we develop insights to better understand our digital worlds and make them more sustainable.
