On March 3, a representation of the team of IndianWebs traveled to Madrid to see the facilities of one of the best hosting companies in Spain, ACENS.
Very few people have been inside a data center. IndianWesb was able to verify that for the company ACENS The top priority is data privacy and security, for which they apply extensive protection measures to keep the facilities under strict surveillance.
Jorge González Cardeñosa, Borja Jimenez Muzas, Jordi Miró Parramon y Marcos Guerrero Sánchez-Puerta, we were invited as a Distribution Agency of ACENS. We were lucky enough to be able to visit the facilities in operation.
The Data Center of ACENS It has become one of the main strategic assets for companies. The design, the reduction of electrical consumption with virtualization techniques and, currently, cloud computing, seem to be some of the premises to achieve greater efficiency in ACENS.
ACENS with its own Data Centers in Barcelona and Madrid, it has its own national backbone network, with ring topology to guarantee maximum availability of each node. This network links the points of presence (PoP), Data Centers and Peering Center (IP traffic exchange). Likewise, the design of each PoP has been carried out by duplicating all routing and switching equipment until reaching a fault-tolerant architecture, so that there is no single point of failure.
The backbone network ACENS It is a multiservice network based on the latest technologies, which incorporates the IP Multicast, BGP4 and MPLS protocols. The operation and management of the network is carried out from end to end, offering the client the maximum service guarantees according to your needs.
The platform's access to the Internet is carried out through multiple connections with other IP networks at exchange points and transit carriers. Thanks to BGP4 protocol ensures efficient routing of IP traffic and dynamic reactions to any change that occurs on the Internet.
ACENS It manages more than 190 million emails per month on average (6.300.000 daily), always redundant and balanced, in addition to managing more than 40.000 web hosting and more than 250.000 active mailboxes. That is why we have the most exhaustive security measures.
ACENS contributes to reducing the emission of polluting gases and environmental protection. Green Dedicated Servers. As a hosting company, ACENS You are aware that data centers have to be on every day. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, which implies a fairly high energy consumption that has been increasing as their power has grown. But with the implementation of green hosting, comes the efficient use of energy and optimization of all possible resources.
From IndianWebs We thank the entire team ACENS Yes and especially to Primitivo Fernandez Majan for inviting us to this interesting visit and giving us the opportunity to see first-hand the heart of the internet. I hope we repeat this event every year with our friends from ACENS.
Thank you!
