D-ALIX – DATACENTER FOR ALIX
One of the differentiating elements of our datacenter is its location. D-ALiX is located on the grounds of the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energy, next to the Science and Technology Park of Granadilla. In addition, the Reina Sofia airport (Tenerife South) is less than 10km away and a future seaport of Granadilla is nearby. A second airport, Los Rodeos (Tenerife North), is less than an hour’s drive away and the seaport of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is just over 50 km away. There is easy access to the facilities via the TF1 highway, which facilitates access for company personnel and our clients.
Neutrality
Its strong neutral character gives our customers the possibility to choose their connectivity provider freely. This feature, together with the facilities that serve as a submarine cable mooring station, makes D-ALiX the world’s first neutral submarine cable station.
Reliability level
D-ALiX meets the requirements of the international data center market with TIER III+ facilities, obtaining TIER IV configuration in the electrical system.
Modularity
A data center must be designed in a completely modular way, so that successive expansions can be executed in the most flexible and effective way, in order not to lose new customers and stagnate in its first phase indefinitely. On the other hand, a high scalability allows to adapt to each new customer, optimizing the necessary investment according to their requirements.
D-ALiX is installed inside a reinforced industrial building, under the concept of “bunker within a bunker”. This concept, in addition to reducing the necessary investments (CAPEX) while maintaining the required quality levels, results in greater modularity as the datacenter is designed to grow horizontally instead of floor by floor. All this in turn allows a reduction in operational expenses (OPEX).
