The most important facts about our data center locations at a glance:
A PoP (Point of Presence) from a data center operator’s perspective is a physical location that serves as an access point for networks or services. Typically, it is infrastructure that enables various network providers, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and customers to connect to a data center’s network or a larger communication network.
A redundancy site (also colocation or co-location) refers to hosting servers, hardware, and IT infrastructure in an external data center provided by a specialized data center provider. Instead of operating your own hardware in your own business premises or server room, the equipment is housed in a data center specifically optimized for this purpose.
The ideal location for a data center depends on various factors affecting both technical and operational aspects.
The most important criteria include geographic location, energy supply and energy costs, network/internet connectivity, security aspects, legal and regulatory factors, as well as scalability and flexibility.
Energy supply is one of the central factors in selecting a data center location. Data centers require a permanently stable and powerful electricity supply, as even brief interruptions can have significant impacts on availability and business operations.
Important criteria include connection to multiple independent power grids, redundant feeds, powerful UPS systems (uninterruptible power supply), and emergency generators to safeguard against grid failures.
Furthermore, aspects such as energy efficiency, sustainability, and access to renewable energy are becoming increasingly important – both from a cost perspective and with regard to ESG requirements and corporate responsibility.
