\"Krake<\/p>

With Krake, we have created a tool for realising the most energy-efficient virtual data centre in the world. Among other things, it consists of an orchestration engine for containerised and virtualised workloads on distributed and heterogeneous cloud platforms. The workloads to be orchestrated by Krake are aggregated and distributed according to the defined requirements (e.g. hardware, latency, costs) and the characteristics of the platforms (e.g. energy efficiency, load). The interdisciplinary team consisting of data scientists, computer scientists and electrical engineers deals with the planning, development and implementation of new features as well as the continuous further development of the intelligent software, which is closely aligned with the market.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\"YAOOK<\/p>

When operating our cloud, we quickly recognised weaknesses of \"classic\" life-cycle management and orchestration tools, which require a lot of manual work and are thus prone to errors. With our extensive Kubernetes skills, we recognised the potential of using Kubernetes as the basis for life-cycle management. Building on this, we created a fully automated and free OpenStack lifecycle management (LCM) - Yaook - that integrates individual OpenStack services with minimal development effort without sacrificing flexibility for orchestration. Yaook is an important step towards more digital sovereignty.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our team takes care of the analysis, planning, commissioning and operation of our efficient IT infrastructures. The experience gained in more than a decade is always validated with the latest findings from research and development as well as with results from the open source communities. During implementation, our engineers, supported by apprentices and students, work closely together with experienced personnel from various related disciplines. Today, we can look back on air- and water-cooled server infrastructure at more than 20 locations distributed in Germany and Europe of the most diverse design - both in the building and in sea container formats.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\"Energy-efficient<\/p>

Integration and operation of direct hot water cooling systems with waste heat utilisation for heating purposes. Experts from the fields of thermofluid dynamics, technical building equipment, regenerative energy systems and control and regulation are involved in evaluating existing air cooling concepts and converting them to energy-efficient water cooling technologies, as well as driving forward the further development and optimisation of our own cooling technologies. In order to ensure the stable operation of our complex digital infrastructures and the utilisation of the associated waste heat, a wide range of specialist areas within the company, such as electrical engineering, hydraulics, building services, I&C, safety technology, network and software, work hand in hand.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
