SAP has 47 data centers in 12 countries. Walldorf is the second largest location in the world. HPE, as the general planner of SAP, commissioned Franken Architekten with architectural planning. The data center consists of a two-storey administrative wing with a nearly square floor plan and the adjoining data center modules, which are designed as a largely single-storey building with roof-mounted cladding clad in façade cladding.
