Power

Interxion provides managed power with resilience built in all the way to the cabinet and server if required; a minimum N+1 configuration on power infrastructure. The continuously improving design specification supports a modular build including critical infrastructure, and is flexible enough to adapt to specific customer requirements without loss of overall efficiency. Extra equipment can be added to increase capacity without causing outages.

  • Up to 99.999% availability SLA
  • 2N UPS redundancy
  • Full range of AC and DC output currents
  • Backup generators supporting 24 hours at full capacity with refuelling capability

Security

Interxion data centre buildings are typically designed with five layers of physical security: the perimeter fence, the security gate and entrance, mantraps into the data centre, access systems into the rooms and secure, locked cabinets. Extra levels can be introduced such as lockable cages or cubes (containment aisles). No one enters or leaves without proof of identity, and all visitors are checked against customer-defined access lists. All building areas are secured by an alarm system, and an external security firm patrols the area, both inside and outside.

  • Trained security staff operating 24x7 on site
  • 24x7 controlled access
  • ISO 27001-certified and BS 25999-certified information security management systems
  • Multiple physical security layers, including IDS alarms, CCTV, proximity cards, biometrics and man traps

Controlled Environment

For optimum performance, all equipment is maintained and continuously monitored in a climate-controlled environment. The average temperature inside the cold aisle is controlled between 18 and 25°C and a humidity level of 50% ± 10%. Multiple air conditioning units provide redundant capacity. Fire-retardant walls, early warning laser smoke detectors (underneath and above the flooring), direct lines to fire stations, and automatic gas-based fire suppression systems provide world-class protection against fire.

  • SLAs on temperature and humidity in line with ASHRAE recommendations
  • Entire facility infrastructure monitored 24x7 (Chiller, CRAC, Fire Panels, Generator, UPS, etc.)
  • Minimum N+1 CRAC redundancy per room
  • Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA)

Energy Efficiency

Interxion is committed to continuously investigating efficiency opportunities such as free cooling as standard, ground water cooling, and waste heat re-use, but never at the expense of reliability and availability. Continuous monitoring and measuring provides information about the environments and enables identification of opportunities to improve efficiency. The flexible design allows Interxion to meet customer demands with a scalable infrastructure model.

  • Phased modular architecture optimises Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)
  • Operated to the highest energy efficiency standards
