What are the characteristics that make Vianova Data Centers unique?
Safety
- the facilities are located in areas with low seismic activity and are built in line with anti-flooding and anti-earthquake principles, allowing them to withstand major floods and earthquakes
- the facilities are protected by a perimeter alarm and by video surveillance systems, with a remote link to local security companies
- only authorized and certified personnel can access the Data Centers, using electronic badges and biometric readers
- in the Pisa Data Center, individual cabinets can only be opened with personal electronic badges
- all systems are monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
Perimeter alarm with anti-intrusion system
Fire prevention
- Massarosa Data Center is fitted with a nitrogen fire suppression system that uses high-pressure cylinders
- Pisa Data Center uses an active oxygen depletion (reduction) fire prevention system. The oxygen percentage is kept below the minimum level necessary for combustion, thus making it impossible for any type of flame to develop
- Data Center area is divided into sections by fire-resistant REI 120 walls and doors
- a special detection system checks the hydrogen levels in the UPS and battery rooms and automatically activates the air exchange systems if necessary
Oxygen depleting fire suppression system
Power supply
- our electrical systems are based on multiple, independent power supply structures following separate and diversified paths
- in the event of an emergency, power continuity is guaranteed thanks to UPS areas with redundant static transfer switches, 48 V power stations, and diesel generator sets
- Pisa UPS areas are located in separate rooms with independent cooling units
- each individual rack has a redundant, dual-feed power supply
Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
Air conditioning
- arranging the hosted devices in hot and cold corridors reduces consumption and increases efficiency
- air conditioning system with a dual power supply circuit ensures that the temperature and humidity are kept within a range of predetermined values
- Pisa air conditioning system is powered at all times (continuous cooling), even if the generators are called into use
Cooling pumps
Redundancy
- 100 Gbps of capacity to connect the fiber optic ring between Pisa and Massarosa Data Centers
- local and geo-redundancy of all Fixed and Mobile network core equipment (routers, switches, telephone exchanges, servers, etc.), with synchronous replication of storage data
- redundancy of the circuits connecting all PoPs towards Pisa and Massarosa Data Centers
- redundancy of the circuits connecting with Internet exchange points and the national telephone network
Local and geographical redundancy of the devices
