Downtime
Unplanned downtime can affect critical services and deliveries.
White Space (data centers)
White Space – the critical data room
White Space is the heart of any data center — the area where servers, network equipment and storage systems are installed and running. It demands uncompromising availability, physical security, operational reliability and documented performance. Remtech delivers modular security solutions that protect critical infrastructure and help meet the requirements of EN 50600 throughout the lifecycle — from engineering and construction to operation and continuous development.
Why White Space is critical
White Space is the most valuable area in a data center. The consequences of failure, damage or downtime can be significant:
Loss of data and services
Equipment damage can lead to loss of data and vital societal functions.
Breach of security requirements
Non-compliance can lead to deviations and sanctions.
Financial consequences
Outages and recovery incur significant direct and indirect costs.
Reputational damage
Incidents can damage trust and reputation over time.
Critical functions out of service
Consequences can affect people, society and national security.

ModuSec
Designed for Modern Data Centers
ModuSec is developed for data centers and other critical infrastructure where physical security, energy efficiency, availability, and flexibility are key requirements. The modular building system enables the creation of secure technical rooms that can be adapted to both current and future needs, supporting the principles of EN 50600.
- Modular and ScalableCan be expanded, reconfigured or relocated as capacity requirements evolve.
- Integration with Technical SystemsDesigned to integrate with cooling, ventilation, cable penetrations, access control, and other critical building systems.
- Efficient InstallationDry installation without welding enables fast installation with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
- Adaptable to New and Existing BuildingsCan be integrated into both retrofit projects and new construction without extensive structural modifications.
- Project-Specific SolutionTailored to meet project-specific requirements for security levels, room configuration, and technical installations.
- Future-Proof DesignThe modular design makes it easy to upgrade, expand, or adapt the solution as operational requirements evolve.
Typical White Space requirements
Cleanliness and particle control
Materials and surfaces that minimise dust, fibres and contamination in critical environments.
Air-tightness and environmental control
Controlled airflows, energy-efficient cooling and the tightness required for gas suppression.
Energy efficiency and thermal performance
Constructions that support stable temperatures and reduced energy use.
Fire and water protection
Protection against fire, smoke, moisture and water ingress to ensure continuous operation.
Physical security and robustness
Protection against intrusion, sabotage and other events that can affect critical infrastructure.
Operation, flexibility and documentation
Solutions that support maintenance, future expansion and documented compliance with relevant requirements.
