TeraGate AG Storage Optical Network

TeraGate AG Storage Optical Network operated as a specialized service provider for next-generation corporate wide-area networks (WAN) within the German market. Headquartered in Munich with its technical operations based in Frankfurt, the company focused on delivering communication solutions to a clientele of medium and large-sized enterprises. The core of its business involved providing intelligent ethernet and customized, high-performance links to data centers, positioning itself as a key enabler for corporate connectivity and cloud services.

The company's service portfolio was designed to address the increasing demand for robust and efficient data transit between corporate locations and critical data center facilities. This was particularly relevant for businesses undergoing IT consolidation and adopting virtualized environments. TeraGate provided end-to-end solutions that ranged from fiber optic connections and the associated hardware to fully managed services, thereby catering to complex enterprise requirements for secure and reliable network infrastructure.

A significant milestone in the company's history occurred on July 29, 2011, when it was acquired by euNetworks GmbH, a subsidiary of the pan-European bandwidth infrastructure provider, euNetworks Group Limited. Prior to this transaction, TeraGate AG was a portfolio company of DB Industrial Holdings Beteiligungs GmbH & Co. KG, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, and EGORA Holding GmbH. The acquisition was a strategic expansion for euNetworks in Germany, complementing its earlier purchase of LambdaNet Communications and integrating TeraGate's network and customer base to enhance its market footprint. At the time of its acquisition, the company's leadership included Joachim Piroth and Uwe Nickl on its management board.
