Doetinchem specifications

The handoff of the Novoserve datacenter in Doetinchem will take place on April 1st 2021. After the handoff we shall upgrade the datacenter to the ISO27001 and NEN7510 norm. Currently the datacenter is already designed according to the Tier 3 specifications. The Tier 3 specification describes how the minimal expected availability of 99.982% can be guaranteed by use of redundant components throughout the datacenter (Power, Cooling and Internet). In total the datacenter Doetinchem location can accomodate 120 racks, for up to 5000 servers. With the possibility for a second datafloor we can nearly double the datacenter floorspace.

The transition of the Doetinchem datacenter from Novoserver to us will be executed seamlessly.

Datafloor

The Doetinchem datacenter consists of approximately 2,690 square foot for a total of 120 racks and uses a raised floor system for optimal cooling. Cable management is placed on top of the racks. With a raised floor cold air is provided through the ventilations panels placed on the datafloor surface. The server racks are placed in a hot and cold corridor for the most optimal cooling performance.
For the near future we can expand our datafloor with a second room of 250m2 or 2,670 sq feet space.

Security

The Doetinchem datacenter is secured by multiple HD cameras. The cameras are equipped with motion sensors which allows them to detect possible intrusions in a darkend environment. Physical access to the datafloor is regulated via access cards and unique pin numbers. In the event that someone loses his / her access cards, no access can be gained without the unique pin number.
Every camera, motion detector, light and doors are managed via our BMS (Building Management Software). In addition to security our systems monitors data from temperature, power usage and fire detection sensors.

(Emergency) Power

The electrical system is equipped with a Eaton UPS system for each feed (A+B) in combination with a Teksan back-up generator. Thereby every rack is provided with two redundant 3x16 Amp power feeds (No-break).

Firedetection

The data and UPS room is protected via the VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) laser detectors. VESDA is capable to detect a fire in the very early stages. The moment the VESDA system detects a possible fire it will send out an alarm via our BMS (Building management system). Thereby hanging in the hallway leading to the datafloor are multiple CO₂ fire extinguishers.

Cooling

The Doetinchem datacenter uses multiple redundant cooling systems from Stulz. Whenever one fails another takes quickly over.

The average maintained temperature in the datacenter is ± 24 degrees Celsius.

Other facilities

InterDC also provides a meeting room and a canteen for lunch breaks.
