Hessenbox DA is offline
In future, the service will be provided via next.Hessenbox
2025/07/07
Hessenbox DA has been out of service since Friday, 4 July 2025. The storage service had been operational since 2 May 2017 and was used by many members of TU Darmstadt.
After eight years, Hessenbox DA was switched off last week as planned, following multiple announcements here (see HRZ News from 11.06.2025 ) and elsewhere.
We would like to thank our colleagues at the University Computer Centre at Justus Liebig University Giessen, who operated and maintained the service on behalf of TU Darmstadt during this time.
The successor service is next.Hessenbox , which is provided by the University of Kassel for all universities in Hesse. As soon as the migrations of all institutions have been completed, next.Hessenbox will be expanded with new functions. We will keep you informed about the next steps.
The service next.Hessenbox has been available at TU Darmstadt since 17.02.2025. The current figures show intensive use.
The top 3 universities in terms of user numbers (as of July 2025) are
- TU Darmstadt (TUDa) with 5,786 users
- University of Kassel (UKS) with 2,046 users
- Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM) with 1,978 users
