What to run in Frankfurt
Choosing a site is mostly about where your users are. Here is where Frankfurt is the right answer.
- Lowest-latency reach across the whole of Europe
- Peering-sensitive workloads that benefit from DE-CIX density
- German and DACH-market end users
- CDN origin and cache-fill nodes
Connectivity in Frankfurt
Frankfurt is home to DE-CIX, which by peak traffic is the largest internet exchange on the planet. Almost every European network of consequence is present, so routes out of Frankfurt tend to be short and direct rather than transiting a third party.
Jurisdiction and data protection
Germany, inside the EU and the EEA. GDPR applies in full, and German data-protection law (BDSG) is among the stricter national implementations — which is usually an advantage when a customer or auditor asks where the data sits.
Who this site reaches well
Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Czechia, and the fastest general-purpose route to almost anywhere else in Europe.
Pair it with Amsterdam
Amsterdam is the natural pair: 3 ms away, a different facility operator and a different exchange, so a DE-CIX incident does not take both sites with it. See Amsterdam
Where Frankfurt is the wrong choice
Frankfurt is our busiest site, which means popular configurations sell out here first. If you need a specific dedicated build at short notice, ask before you plan around it.
Platform and stock
Servers here run the same platform as the rest of the network: KVM isolation, full root from deploy, BGP multi-homed transit and inline 2.5 Tbps DDoS scrubbing with nothing to activate. Stock varies by site — if a configuration is not currently available in Frankfurt we will say so and point you at the nearest site that has it, rather than substituting hardware quietly.
