What does the data center spend on residual heat?

In the third video* of the 3-part video report of the Dutch Datacenter Association (DDA) about sustainability within the sector, Alex Bik of BIT explains how we heat the conference center BIT-MeetMe with residual heat from our data centers.

*Please note that this video is in Dutch and has no subtitles.

Power supply

For companies, organizations and governments a good power supply is one of the main reasons to outsource their IT equipment in a data center. To ensure the reliability of the power supply, we monthly test our backup power supplies.

BIT-2BCD has two direct connections to the distribution station of the network operator. The power and backup power in the racks are fully redundant.

Cooling system

The servers in our data center produce a lot of heat. More computer activity means that there is also more heat released, and therefore specialized, scalable, and reliable heat management is required. Inadequate cooling can cause expensive interruptions.

Our cooling system, in combination with the closed cold corridors provides optimum cooling of all equipment. The installation is at all points, including pumps and pipes, redundant. In addition, the installation is as energy efficient as possible, which saves both the environment and costs.

The benefits of colocation: Ensure continuity

The failure of a server, even if only for a few minutes, can have enormous consequences for your business. A data center assures you of an internet connection, whether you are at the office, at home or working anywhere else. Data centers have a redundant setup for their servers as well as for their power supply (all the way to your rack), guaranteeing you of power as well as availability. It is important to keep your IT infrastructure in an environment with climate-control. This means that there is constant, not too high temperature and a limited humidity in the space. This is often not possible to realise in your own office, because more computer activity means more heat, so that requires specialised, scalable and reliable temperature management. Insufficient cooling of your systems can cause costly interruptions.

Do you want to know why colocation can also be a good choice for your organization? Please contact us for a free consultation or a plan tour through our data centers.

360° video - Fire prevention

The server rooms at BIT are equipped with an independent certified very early warning system with automatic notification to the fire department. When a fire breaks out, the oxygen concentration in the area is reduced by gas extinguishing. To do this, a gas mixture of argon and nitrogen is used (Argonite). By fighting the fire in this way, there is no (water) damage to the equipment.

Happy System Administrator Appreciation Day!

Are you currently enjoying a refreshing drink somewhere in a tropical destination or are you still at work and looking forward to an upcomming vacation? Then consider the fact that your servers are still running thanks to the commitment of your system administrator, so that you can enjoy your holiday carefree. Time to put all those system administrators in the spotlight (of course proverbial) today during the 20th Day of the System Administration / System Administrator Appreciation Day.

We also want to thank our system administrators for their efforts every day. Because where would we be without you? Thanks!

The importance of a carrier-neutral data center

In a carrier neutral data center such as that of BIT, you can choose which network you want to use for your services. We have a wide range of carriers that can connect you worldwide with all kinds of cloud exchanges or other platforms.

In this video (Dutch), Walter Jansen explains the importance of a carrier neutral data center and lists the benefits for you.

Use SPF, DKIM and DMARC against phishing, spam and viruses

Prevent yourself from becoming a victim on the internet. Use modern internet standards such as SPF, DKIM and DMARC to reduce phishing, spam and viruses. Watch the video of collegue Arjen Steinfort Schaap and read in our (free of charge) ebook 'Internet Schoon' how you can contribute to a safe, free and open internet. You can download the ebook on internetschoon.nu/e-book. You can also do an online test on internetschoon.nu to see how much you contribute to a clean internet.

Delivery of the BACS monitoring system

Recently we celebrated the festive delivery of the BACS monitoring system of Elinex Power Solutions. With BACS, we can measure each battery individually (more than 1,600 in total) and straighten out the differences between batteries in order to extend the reliability and lifespan. In this video Alex Bik tells us why we have chosen this monitoring system and what the big advantages are.

DNS Amplification Attacks

At the beginning of 2018 we again saw how vulnerable some networks and websites are for DDoS attacks. These attacks were performed with amplification attacks. How do you prevent that your DNS server will be misused in a DDoS attack with these "amplification attacks"? In this video we would like to inform you on this subject.

For DNS servers you can check www.openresolver.nl if your DNS server can be misused in new DDoS attacks.

Black building test

Last Tuesday, we ran our biannual black building test for BIT-2A. Watch the video here.

A good power supply is one of the most important reasons for businesses, organisations and governments to place their IT equipment in a data center. In order to guarantee the reliability of that power supply, we test our emergency power facilities every month and every six months we perform a black building test.
