Housing


Customers can install network and related equipment at the R-iX premises at two locations in Rotterdam. For this service R-iX utilizes computer facilities at the Spaanse Kubus and the Schiecentrale. The housing facilities and technical services at this computer environment are of the highest quality standards.

R-iX offers full redundancy by installing its Cisco 7600 Switches at Spaanse Kubus and Schiecentrale besides access switches at other locations.  At the Spaanse Kubus R-iX has 100m2 of floor space and at Schiecentrale 60m2 available. At these locations R-iX installed advanced 19" Minkels computer racks. The sites are inter-connected with a redundant glass fiber ring. Through six different handholds customers can easily connect this outside cable infrastructure to their own racks.

All computer rooms are air-conditioned, secured by different no-break facilities and fully 24 hours protected. The switches at the locations are interconnected, which means that the switches back each other up if any problems may occur. Maintenance on the switches is scheduled every Wednesday morning between 6.00 - 8.00 hrs.
