Housing
Customers can install network and related equipment at the GN-IX premises at two locations in the City of Groningen, one in the Eemshaven and one in Friesland (FR-IX). For this service GN-IX utilizes both computer facilities of the University of Groningen as well as Tier III Datacenters of TCN. The housing facilities and technical services at this computer and visualization environment are of the highest quality standards.
GN-IX offers full redundancy by installing its Cisco 7600 and 6500 Switches at its locations. At the "Rekenhal" GN-IX has 200m2 of floor space and at "SIG Telehousing" 600m2 available. At TCN datacenter Eemsdollar GN-IX has 500m2 of floor space. At these locations GN-IX installed 180 advanced 19" Minckel computer racks. The sites are inter-connected with a redundant glass fiber ring. Through six different handholds customers can easily connect this outside cable infrastructure to their own racks.
All computer rooms are air-conditioned, secured by different no-break facilities and fully 24 hours protected. The switches at the locations are interconnected, which means that the switches back each other up if any problems may occur. Maintenance on the switches is scheduled every Wednesday morning between 6.00 - 8.00 hrs.
