Sustainability, location and resource-conserving operation

Location and data centre environment

The Digital Realty data centre location in Düsseldorf provides the professional data centre environment in which dus.net GmbH operates its own racks. Power, air conditioning, access control and fire protection are provided by the site operator; the infrastructure in the racks remains entirely in the hands of dus.net GmbH.

Site-related statements on energy and environmental management as well as modernisation measures are published by the data centre operator Digital Realty. They relate to the location itself and not to the SIPONA platform.

Resource-saving operation by dus.net GmbH

dus.net GmbH emphasises the responsible use of resources in the operation of SIPONA.

• Consolidation of services on a common platform - this reduces the number of separate tools and end device installations at the customer.
• Browser-based use without a separate client - this keeps the requirements for end devices and their life cycle moderate.
• Continuous optimisation of our own infrastructure in terms of capacity utilisation and efficiency.
• Responsible handling of hardware life cycles.

Responsibility and standards

dus.net GmbH organises its operations in accordance with industry standards and telecommunications regulations in Germany. Details on supervision, security concept and data processing are described under Security & Hosting.

• Orientation towards industry standards for operation and information security.
• Own security concept within the framework of telecommunications law requirements.
• Clear responsibility from a single source: dus.net GmbH is responsible for operation, platform and telecommunications.

Site-related certifications of the data centre operator (e.g. energy or environmental management) are characteristics of the site and do not replace SIPONA-related assurances.
