Building from scratch on a green-field site has enabled us to create an infrastructure specifically designed to serve the needs of our tenants and their staff. From the provision of uninterruptible supplies of power and data, through comprehensive space planning and inspirational architecture to the full integration of our state-of-the-art technology with global financial systems, we are developing a site that equals or exceeds the highest professional standards in the world.
Our network will provide ample bandwidth and is designed with multiple layers of both physical and logical redundancy. It is designed to facilitate continuous updating to integrate innovation and is built on the principles of operational efficiency, data security, quality, reliability and innovation.
Our technology roadmap includes the construction of two networked data centres, situated at the northern and southern ends of the site, and built to hurricane proof standards. Together they provide a fully secure and fully redundant backup for all data, ensuring continuity of service and the integrity and security of data to the highest prevailing world standards.
To connect the Centre's network outwardly, to private networks and to the internet at large, we take advantage of the full and growing range of data supplies to the Dominican Republic. This breadth of supply will ensure the failsafe delivery and transmission of data to and from the Centre. On the site, three optic fibre rings will be laid that provide minimum data speeds of 155Mbs both to businesses and to residents, enabling the reliable deployment of an exhaustive range of data-heavy applications such as video conferencing and voice-over internet protocol.
Electrical power for the Centre adheres to similarly stringent criteria. While the Centre and its surrounds are directly connected to the Dominican Republic grid, two sets of backup generators lie in reserve at the Centre's power plant, guaranteeing continuity in supply. As a further contingency, each of the networked data centres has its own set of dedicated generators.
Additionally, we are fully connected to the physical infrastructure of the Dominican Republic itself, with rapid transfer to any of its eight international airports that, for example, puts New York just three and a half hours away.
