We are pleased to announce a strategic partnership with the EMC Home of Data data center in Munich. Effective immediately, INGATE is using EMC as its primary data center location in Munich, securing long-term capacity for existing and new customers.
Why EMC Home of Data?
The decision in favor of EMC Home of Data is based on a clear assessment: The data center offers enterprise-grade infrastructure at a compelling price-performance ratio — combined with the personal support that aligns with INGATE's own philosophy.
Bernhard Huter, CEO of EMC Home of Data, and Florian Lihl, founder and CEO of INGATE, share a common understanding: data center services are a matter of trust. Both companies are owner-managed and prioritize direct communication over anonymous ticket systems.
