The datacenter system

The datacenter system is homogeneous and guarantees high-quality service regardless of the site where we host the ISP.

The Roman PoPs are connected in a shared metropolitan network, while our Bari and Naples datacenters are fully independent.

Each datacenter is equipped with high-standard service continuity and availability systems; each rack is provided with two resilient power lines, protected with UPS systems and generators, and customizable power capacity and security.

    dedicated to the housing of carriers’ transmissive devices and to L1/L2 interconnections between carriers, by means of dedicated cabling infrastructures (meet-me area).
  • Housing area:
    dedicated to the housing of carriers’ PoPs
  • Namex room:

datacenters

The datacenter
system

The datacenter system is homogeneous and guarantees high-quality service regardless of the site where we host the ISP. The three PoPs are linked by a dark fiber path provided by a carrier that was already present at Caesar datacenter.

Each datacenter is equipped with high-standard service continuity and availability systems; each rack is provided with two distinct AC 220V power lines, with either 16A or 32A capacity, and protected with UPS systems and generators.
