next layer Colocation Fleischmarkt

next layer, an independent Austrian telecommunications and hosting operator, has run its Fleischmarkt colocation site in central Vienna since 2005. The facility sits in the city's historic first district rather than an out-of-town data center park, giving customers direct proximity to Vienna's business core. next layer states the site follows N+1 redundancy for power and cooling, is connected via five independent fiber routes, and complies with Austrian and EU data-protection rules (DSGVO). Management is certified to ISO/IEC 27001 on an IT-Grundschutz basis, and the operator says the facility runs on 100% renewable electricity. The company markets the building informally as 'Tier II+' — a self-assigned classification rather than an Uptime Institute or TIA-942 certification, reported here as marketing language rather than a certificate. next layer has since expanded to additional Vienna sites, including a former Hutchison Drei Austria facility taken over in 2025, making Fleischmarkt one node in a small independent Viennese colocation network rather than the operator's only footprint.
