Are your servers located in the Netherlands and is MijnHostingPartner environmentally friendly?
Yes, all our servers are located in the Netherlands at different locations, all close to the "source". We have servers in Telecity 2 and Telecity 5.
TelecityGroup is a leading provider of high-quality off-grid data centers in Europe.
All of these data centers have been built to exacting standards and provide a robust environment that meets all requirements in terms of security, power supply and extensive connectivity for your critical data and systems. The availability of multiple locations means we can flexibly accommodate your growth and expansion needs, complete with back-up and disaster recovery facilities.
Our Amsterdam data centers meet the ISO 27001:2005 standard for information security as well as the ISO 9001:2008 standard for quality management and the PCI DSS standard for the secure processing of payment card transactions.
The data centers are committed to being environmentally friendly and strive to minimize their negative impact on the environment.
As a data center provider, Telecity is aware that the impact we have on the environment is related to our energy consumption. To reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions, we use innovative technologies that significantly increase the efficiency of the power supply and cooling of our data centers.
Free cooling is used in a large proportion of the data centers, which offers considerable savings potential. We have also invested in technology to measure air and heat flows. Based on the measurement data, customers are advised on how to configure the equipment in the most energy-efficient way.
In addition to these initiatives, several data centers use energy from renewable sources. We are convinced that the data centers are among the most energy-efficient in the world.
The data centers meet stringent industry standards and are at the forefront of environmental initiatives in the data center market.
