In our last blog post we have already given you an overview about the history of Contabo since its foundation.<\/p>\n

Now we would like to move on into 2006. For a better understanding keep again an eye on the chronicle of Contabo:<\/p>\n

\"Contabo<\/a><\/p>\n

In March 2006 we opened our first office in the heart of Munich. During a long night session we set up several tables, chairs and computers in our new office which was located in a mixed building with offices and apartments. That\u2019s why it wasn\u2019t really surprising (but for us it somehow was at this moment) when an angry neighbor complained about our noisy furniture assembly and installation.
\nSo we finished our hammering, drilling and screwing at 3 o\u2019clock in the morning and continued on the next day.
\nThanks to our apology and a bottle of red wine the domestic peace could be restored again.<\/p>\n

According to our former company size our first office was very small and contemplative. Nevertheless, nothing was missing.
\nRight from the beginning a \u201cCoke\u201d-refrigerator of the brand \u201cBosch\u201d in 50s retro style had been ordered and has been providing us with refreshments until today. By the way, the purchase price was 700 Euros plus delivery expenses.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, we didn\u2019t stay in the office for a long time although we had been blessed with a delicious food infrastructure like Mc Donald\u2019s, Pizza Hut and several D\u00f6ner restaurants because of its location in the middle of the city center.
\nWe took advantage of the possibility to use a small data center in the middle of Munich operated by the carrier Tiscali with exclusive access to our servers.\u00a0 Tiscali itself stopped all its business in Germany at this time because they didn\u2019t perform profitably any more. Further details of the Italian telecommunications company which was our partner at that time can be found on Wikipedia<\/a>.
\nIn 2007 we split all of our servers in two different locations; one was located in Frankfurt and one in Munich. At the same time we moved our office to the former office rooms of Tiscali to operate near our servers. This gave us the possibility, in the event of any server problems, to react instantly at any time.
\nThis relocation was the kick off of our colocation and housing product offers.
\nFrom this time, customers had the possibility to colocate their own server hardware in our data center and to benefit from a very fast internet connection, from excellent international routing, redundant air-conditioning and power supply. The number of servers increased rapidly.<\/p>\n

The racks of Rittal shown on the pictures above have been taken over from Tiscali by us later on and are still in use in our data center.<\/p>\n

We left the building in 2009 when we opened our today\u2019s office and data center in Giesing\/ Munich.<\/p>\n
