In order to optimize the layout, the network cabling of the main server room has been divided into 10 "islands", each with
70 racks. Each island has its own dedicated switches and routers. The structure of the data center provides maximum
security as the server room is isolated in a building made of reinforced concrete. Batteries, generators and transformers
are separated from the server room and located in special buildings.

to replicate the data from one facility to the other in real time, in order to offer
customers high redundancy and performances.
Developing Disaster Recovery solutions are simplified by the position of the two data
centers in Arezzo, half way between Rome and Milan.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY
AND PRICE COMPETITIVENESS
Facilities and systems designed to reduce our carbon footprint
and be competitive in the current market.
With the low temperatures, the Dynamic Free Cooling (DFC) saves energy by using
the outdoor air to cool the server room, allowing the cooling system through the
compressor to come into action only when required.

FREE COOLING SYSTEM
The Dynamic Free Cooling system provides
high energy savings, as such a system can
operate up to outside temperatures of 1618°C, condition which is monitored often in
the locations of our Italian data centers.
In the air-conditioning system an element of special importance is represented by the extraction system
of the exhaust air coming out of the devices which has been designed to avoid one of the typical critical
situations of server rooms: the formation of hot-spots in places which are not easily reached by the air
distribution system.
Therefore, the air extraction system provides air extractors in the immediate vicinity of the devices in order to avoid mixing the hot air produced by the devices and the cold air coming from outside.
This process allows for further optimization aimed at maximizing energy efficiency, so that all the cooling
power is only and exclusively used to cool down the servers.
