We have two Identical storage networks.

Each network is located within a separate data centre located in Park West, Dublin and Clonshaugh, Dublin.

Each data centre is backed up by a number of redundant systems as follows:

 

Interxion - Park West

 

Interxion has invested more than €300 million in building a network of 24 data centers across Europe. Each data center is built to exacting standards in order to meet corporate requirements, offering superb, cost-effective facilities for a wide range of customer needs.

Climate control

 

  • For optimum performance, all equipment is maintained and continuously monitored in a climate-controlled environment.
  • The average room temperature is controlled between 22°C ± 2°C and a humidity level of 50% ± 10%.
  • Multiple air conditioning units provide redundant capacity.

 

Water detection

 

  • Water detection systems are installed in all areas that may be susceptible to leakage.
  • The water detection alarms are relayed directly to the Interxion European Support Center. 

 

Security

 

  • Interxion data center buildings are designed as "buildings within buildings," and are protected around the clock by security guards and monitored video surveillance cameras.
  • No one enters or leaves without proof of identity, and all visitors are checked against customer-defined access lists.
  • All building areas are secured by an alarm system, and an external security firm patrols the area, both inside and outside

 

Power

 

  • 230V AC and 400V AC, UPS, -48V DC with battery backup providing continual power.
  • All Interxion data centers are backed up by N+1 diesel driven generators with 24 hours fuel storage.
  • Power cabling is laid under raised anti-static computer flooring.

 

Fire protection

 

  • Fire-retardant walls.
  • Early warning laser smoke detectors (underneath and above the flooring)
  • Direct lines to fire stations, and automatic gas-based fire suppression systems provide world-class protection against fire.

BackMeUp Equipment

 

Data is uploaded to one of our facilities and is then replicated to the other network. Both data centres are linked by the same network infrastructure so replication is very quick.

 

We use Dell server and storage equipment. All drives are secured using a RAID5/RAID6 configuration and all devices used have multiple redundant systems as follows:

 

  • Dual Power Supplies
  • Dual multi-honed network adapters
  • RAID5 and RAID6 Disk arrays
  • Multiple internet connections within the data centre
  • A+B power - Power from two difference sources plus backup batteries and generators
