The starting point
Challenges for
Healthcare facilities
Digital transformation in healthcare and life sciences opens up enormous opportunities. However, without a high-performance data center infrastructure, hospitals, research institutes, and pharmaceutical companies will fall short of their potential.
Own infrastructure: too expensive, too complex, too risky
Operating your own data center costs millions – in construction, electricity, cooling, and personnel. Funding programs like KHZG were time-limited. Ongoing investments remain.
Portus Data Centers: Greater efficiency through infrastructure outsourcing.
IT teams are understaffed — yet responsible for everything
Open IT positions remain unfilled for months. Existing teams simultaneously handle data center operations, security, and clinical IT requirements – not a good basis for compliance – and a risk to the availability of running systems.
Portus Data Centers: 24/7 operation, monitoring and remote hands.
Safety from accidents and disasters
A hospital setting is not an ideal location for IT equipment: fire, water damage, and power outages are known risks for server rooms. Security systems such as early fire detection, climate control, and geo-redundant locations are often not feasible.
Portus Data Centers:
Colocation data centers are specially protected and redundantly connected.
Why Portus Data Centers
We provide the infrastructure.
Your IT department can focus on what matters most.
As a healthcare data center focused on compliance and availability, Portus Data Centers handles the operation, security, and certification of your IT infrastructure – while you retain full control over your systems and data.
Certifications that count in the healthcare sector
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and HDS certification* for health data. Not every colocation provider has both.
Data remains in the EU
Portus Data Centers operates data centers in Germany (Hamburg, Munich) and Luxembourg – all locations within the EU. No US parent company – no access by US authorities based on the US CLOUD Act. Data sovereignty is guaranteed under German and EU law.
Carrier-neutral and system-agnostic
Portus Data Centers is neither a provider nor a manufacturer. You bring your systems, your HIS and PACS infrastructure – and receive the necessary space, power, connectivity, operation and the associated security.
Use cases
For whom is Portus Data Centers
the right infrastructure?
Clinics and hospitals
Radiological PACS systems generate several terabytes of image data (DICOM) daily. Pathology platforms and teleradiology solutions require low latency, high availability, and GDPR-compliant data storage in Germany.
Portus Data Centers offers high-performance colocation with carrier-neutral connectivity – ideal for distributed systems, teleradiology networks, and PACS archives. All data remains within the EU – exclusively in Germany upon request.
- Hosting of HIS, PACS, RIS and clinical backends
- Ransomware protection through network segmentation
- ISO 27001:2022 and HDS* as a documentable compliance basis
- 24/7 Remote Hands and Monitoring
Health insurance funds and associations of statutory health insurance physicians
Statutory health insurance funds (GKV) and regional associations of statutory health insurance physicians (KVen) process millions of insured person and billing data records daily in accordance with Book V of the German Social Code (SGB V). The requirements for confidentiality, availability, and GDPR compliance are stringent – and regulated by the German Federal Office for Information Security’s (BSI) IT Baseline Protection Compendium and specific social data protection regulations.
Portus Data Centers provides the necessary infrastructure: HDS-certified* for health data, ISO 27001:2022 for information security, with locations in Germany and Luxembourg (EU).
- HDS certification* for health data
- Data storage exclusively in Germany upon request.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about the Data Center
for the healthcare sector
What certifications does Portus Data Centers have?
Portus Data Centers is certified according to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and the French HDS standard* (Hébergeur de Données de Santé). Both certifications have been independently audited and demonstrate compliance with internationally recognized security standards for health data.
What distinguishes colocation from cloud hosting?
With colocation, you operate your own hardware in a certified data center – without dependence on hyperscalers like AWS or Azure. You retain complete control over configuration, access, and data storage. Crucially for healthcare facilities: patient data remains in Germany, under German law, without GDPR risks from third-party providers outside the EU.
How much does colocation cost at Portus Data Centers?
The costs depend on space requirements (rack units or dedicated cage areas), power connection, bandwidth, and desired service level. We will create a customized offer based on your requirements – transparently and without hidden costs.
At which locations does Portus Data Centers operate data centers?
Portus Data Centers operates data centers in Hamburg and Munich. Portus also operates a location in Luxembourg – all data centers are within the EU and subject to European data protection law. Further locations are already in the planning stages.
