Colocations and equipment facilities are cooled down with technologies that meet your company’s most strict responsibility requirements.
Ensured electricity and data connections
Duplicated electricity, reserve power, and data connections ensure your business continuity.
Access control
Access to the DNA colocation facilities is granted according to predetermined rights in the e-access control system, from the front door to all the way to the cabinets. Your company will receive a necessary amount of access permissions, which can be flexibly managed as the situation changes. Access permissions are secured with a personal PIN code.
Security
DNA colocations are located in Finland, at DNA’s own secured colocations. DNA uses video control in monitoring DNA’s colocation area and facility monitoring. In addition, the colocation-specific break-in protection and alarms straight to DNA’s control room are part of the security.
Cooling
DNA’s colocation in Helsinki uses district cooling, multiple environmental award-winning and energy-efficient cooling method. The space has its own district cooling junction and central as well as separate water cooling circuits.
Cooling the equipment facility is implemented, depending on the area, either with area-specific standard HVACs or in-row coolers, at least in an n+1 dimension. The hot/cold aisle setting increases the distribution of cooling air for the servers and decreases different temperature air currents from mixing with each other.
Hardware locations
The equipment facility has half (21U) and full (47U) cabinets available. Standardised IT cabinet measures are 800 x 1200 mm.
Electricity
Each cabinet has duplicated electricity feed, of which at least one is protected with batteries. Power equipment is protected depending on the technologies with either n+1 or 2N, and power generators protect both electricity options. Cabinets are available with a three-phase 230V AC and 48V DC power.
Fire protection
The colocation has an Argon gas fire suppression system with an automatic gas detector system and two separate gas release areas. The facilities have two different observation districts (fire detectors and sampling probes), which controls the automatic gas release. Alarms are forwarded to the 24/7/365 operated control room and local alarm receiving station.
Data connections
Data connections are protected from server and equipment facility forward. The equipment facility has two separate fibre connections from DNA’s backbone network. The equipment facility has two backbone routers to which the fibres are connected. In addition, the equipment facilities have DNA’s 4G base station.
