What are data centers and what are they for?
Data centers in El Salvador stores, processes and distributes large amounts of information. DataTrust is a data center designed from the beginning to offer a high availability and security service. Its facilities meet the requirements of Tier III of the Uptime Institute, guaranteeing 99.982% availability.
A Datacenter is key to guarantee the security and availability of business information. In addition, it allows access to online services in a reliable and efficient way.
DataTrust has enough supply of electrical energy thanks to the presence of two independent connections, as well as diesel generator plants with the capacity to supply 100% of the energy needs of the data center.
It should be noted that Datatrust has redundancy in the supply of electrical energy, since part of the energy consumed comes from solar panels.
What services do data centers offer?
A data center provides a range of services including hosting and storage of information, high-speed connectivity, Internet access, virtualization and cloud solutions, physical security and data protection.
It enables companies to have a scalable and efficient IT infrastructure. The business possibilities are unlimited, since a data center is capable of supporting e-commerce applications, inventory, banking transactions, multiple phone calls to different parts of the world simultaneously, among other services that require constant access to a database.
Which companies have data centers?
The technology, finance, e-commerce and telecommunications industries depend on efficient and powerful data centers. These data centers ensure an optimal user experience, with minimal wait and response times. Leading companies such as Google, Amazon and Microsoft have their own data centers and rely on a global network to offer these services.
Data centers are an excellent option for large companies, also, its scalability makes them adaptable to small and medium enterprises, as they can make use of a product designed to their needs, lowering costs and protecting their information in a controlled environment with a first class infrastructure. DataTrust, for example, is a Tier 3 data center located in El Salvador that adapts to any application by offering a processing service in the cloud or public and private as well as colocation service.
Where are the data centers?
Data centers can be located in various geographic regions, often strategically located near sources of power and high-speed connectivity. Some are located in areas with cooling-friendly climates. Additionally, there are virtual Data Centers that provide services through the cloud although their server infrastructure is protected in custom-built buildings for perfect operation.
DataTrust has a privileged location located in Altius Tech Park in Ciudad Arce, department of La Libertad in El Salvador. The location was carefully selected to be an alternative outside of San Salvador, the capital city, and to decentralize this type of infrastructure. DataTrust has an anti-seismic infrastructure, catalogued as an essential building (similar to a hospital), an anti-seismic structure and has an uninterrupted connectivity that combines several telecommunications companies in the country.
What is a Data Center, examples?
Some notable examples of Data Centers are those of Google, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. OVHcloud also operates Data Centers and offers hosting and storage services. Other companies such as Equinix, Digital Realty and IBM also have their own Data Centers around the world.
How do you work in a data center?
Managing a data center requires the involvement of professionals with expertise in electrical systems, critical cooling, telecommunications and specialized systems.working in a data center involves tasks such as server installation and configuration. For example, at DataTrust, staff monitors system operations, performs preventive maintenance, and enforces access control and physical security measures. The operations team manages customer requests and provides technical support, following established procedures to ensure the smooth operation of the data center.
What is Cloud and Data Center?
Cloud and Data Center are two closely related concepts in the world of technology.The cloud refers to online computing services, while a Data Center is the infrastructure that allows storing and managing those services.Together, they offer scalable and efficient solutions for companies looking to make the most of IT resources, including the possibility of hosting a professional or personal website in a datacenter with scalability options in the design of all your preferred solutions, both virtualization and physical servers, so that hardware never slows down the development of your projects.
In addition, a Datacenter also provides cloud services, colocation service, housing and information security through state-of-the-art systems and qualified professionals to manage and protect them. It also has a 7×24 NOC to meet customer requirements and a 7×24 SOC fully dedicated to visualize and respond to information security events.
Who certifies Data Centers?
The Uptime Institute is an international consulting entity dedicated to boosting performance, increasing efficiency and ensuring the reliability of critical business infrastructure through innovation, cooperation and independent performance certifications. DataTrust is the first Tier III certified commercial Datacenter in El Salvador.
What is inside a Data Center?
A Data Center relies on reliable electrical power systems and advanced control systems to maintain the availability and efficiency of its operations. These components are essential to ensure that the equipment and systems housed in the Data Center operate without interruptions and in a secure manner.
Inside a data center, you’ll find high-performance server infrastructure, efficient cooling and ventilation systems, high-speed and redundant connectivity, physical and digital security measures as well as secure and scalable data storage.
How is a data center powered?
To ensure an uninterrupted power supply, data centers have redundant sources of electrical power. This means that they run in parallel and use uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems and backup generators to ensure continuity in the event of a power outage. In addition, the data centers optimize energy efficiency to minimize costs and constantly monitor energy consumption.
DataTrust has its own power generators, solar power plant, and off-grid supplies.
How are data centers classified?
Data centers are classified according to the availability of their services.The Uptime Institute has defined four levels (I, II, III, IV) called “tiers” that represent different levels of redundancy and security.The higher levels guarantee higher availability and minimum downtime.
The choice of level depends on the specific needs and requirements of each company.
The tiering system, introduced by the Uptime Institute, provides a standardized way of assessing the reliability and fault tolerance of data centers. By incorporating the tiering concept, companies can ensure that their data centers are able to isolate any production capacity from any type of failure. This helps maintain uninterrupted operations and safeguard critical data.
If you are looking for a Tier III data center, DataTrust is the only world class commercial data center in El Salvador. A strategic location for the region.
