Update - We're planning with an additional chiller unit sized equally as of Q1/2026 following implementation of 160kW additional cooling. The architecture will have two distinct water cycles running independently as well as powering Rack Room B in the future too. For now our top priority is to be prepared for the upcoming heat wave, which is forecasted > 13th July 2025, where temperatures will likely hit +40°C again. Cooling vendors are involved to carry out necessary works ASAP.

Update - Dear Customers,
we have activated direct freecooling, decreasing temperature spin and stabilizing aircon units. We'll keep this incident open to report about the additional cooling capacity implementation.

Monitoring - Dear Customers,
we're currently experiencing increased cold aisle temperatures across the data-hall. The issue is caused by excessive outside air temperature, which was peaking at 40,5°C in Langen today, causing chiller inefficiency. We're in contact with chiller rental partners in order to increase capacity by three times of the current one by next week till end of September 2025. Unfortunately the excessive heat wave we're currently experiencing is causing us unexpected additional thermal load our air condition units are having issues dealing with.
We're on-site in the datacenter and monitoring the situation to keep the environment stable as much as possible.
