Salient features of ODP’s Data Centres  In today’s fast-paced digital world, data centers are the backbone of our online services, enabling us to access information from anywhere in the world. Oman Data Park’s (ODP) four cutting-edge data centers are at the forefront of this revolution, providing businesses with the tools they need to stay ahead of the curve. These data centers offer a range of features that make them a reliable and efficient choice for businesses.

  1. 19”, 42U Rack with Dual Power Distribution Units

One of the primary features of ODP’s data centers is the 19″, 42U Rack with Dual Power distribution units. These racks provide ample space for storing servers and other IT equipment, making them an ideal solution for businesses with large IT infrastructures.

The 19″ width of the racks is a standard size that allows for easy installation of IT equipment, while the 42U height provides ample space for storing multiple servers and other IT equipment. This feature is especially important for businesses that require a large number of servers to run their operations, such as e-commerce websites, online service providers, and financial institutions.

  1. Scalable

Never worry about running out of space. Choosing the right cabinet size can make all the difference. ODP data centres offer a range of cabinet options to meet your needs, including quarter, half, and full cabinets. Quarter cabinets are ideal for small businesses or those with limited equipment needs, while half cabinets are perfect for mid-sized businesses with larger equipment requirements. Full cabinets are best for larger businesses or those with multiple servers and networking equipment. Each size offers unique advantages, such as accommodating different equipment sizes or allowing for easier access and maintenance.

  1. 6KW power per rack

The standard 6KW per rack offered by Oman Data Park’s (ODP) data centers is a crucial feature that ensures clients’ equipment runs efficiently. This power density provides ample power to run servers and other IT equipment without any issues, ensuring that clients’ businesses run smoothly. Moreover, they get higher density on demand to run their equipment. This allows businesses to operate at optimal levels, with minimal downtime and interruptions. Businesses that rely heavily on their IT infrastructure can scale their operations without worrying about fluctuating power requirements.

  1. Top-notch security

With powerful data also comes the risk of security breaches and system failures that can have catastrophic consequences. That’s why ODP’s data centers are designed with security and monitoring as top priorities. The data centres’ layout and equipment are meticulously designed to ensure maximum safety and reliability. Redundant power and cooling systems ensure that the servers and other equipment stay up and running, even in the event of a power outage.

Our monitored halls are equipped with clustered servers, storage units, and other hardware necessary for handling large volumes of data. Furthermore, our fire suppression systems can detect and extinguish fires before they cause any damage. Multi-layered access control, including biometric scanning and security cameras, ensures that only authorized personnel have access to the data center.

The monitored halls are constantly monitored and maintained to ensure the highest level of performance and security. Our team of experts is constantly monitoring the equipment, looking for any signs of potential issues and addressing them before they become problems.

  1. Colocation

At Oman Data Park, we offer a range of colocation services that provides a cost-effective alternative to businesses. It allows companies to lease space within our data center premises which ensures they have access to state-of-the-art facilities, including redundant power and cooling systems, fire suppression systems, and multi-layered access control.

One of the biggest benefits of ODP’s colocation service is cost savings. By outsourcing their data center needs to ODP, businesses can save on the costs of building and maintaining an in-house data center. ODP’s colocation service also allows businesses to scale their operations more easily, without the need for costly infrastructure upgrades.

Our colocation service provides businesses with the infrastructure they need to store and manage their critical data. Also it includes 24/7 monitoring and support, ensuring that their data is always secure and accessible.

  1. Intelligent Structured Cabling System

The Intelligent Structured Cabling System is a vital component of ODP’s data center infrastructure. It ensures that all cabling is organized and managed in a way that maximizes network efficiency and minimizes downtime. The system is designed to be flexible and scalable, allowing it to adapt to changing business needs and requirements. It also helps to reduce the risk of human error, which can be a significant cause of network downtime. With the Intelligent Structured Cabling System, businesses can rest assured that their networks are running at peak efficiency, with minimal downtime.

In fact, during a nationwide outage on September 2, 2022, our backup systems had all our servers in the data center running in a matter of seconds. The longevity of the outage also proved the efficacy of our backup generators.

  1. 24×7 Security Operations Center

Our Security Operations Center is staffed by a team of highly skilled security professionals who are trained to identify and respond to potential threats in real-time. This includes monitoring for any suspicious activity, identifying potential vulnerabilities, and taking immediate action to prevent any security breaches.

In addition to our SOC, we also have a 24×7 Network Operations Center (NOC) that monitors server performance to ensure that they are operating optimally. Our NOC team is responsible for identifying and resolving any issues that may impact server performance, including hardware failures, software issues, and network connectivity problems.

  1. Adherence to Compliance

At ODP, we also take compliance seriously and regularly undergo audits to ensure that our facilities are compliant with regulatory requirements. This ensures that our customers’ data is always protected, and that they can trust us to meet their compliance needs.

ODP’s data centers also come with environmental monitoring to ensure optimal conditions for IT equipment, and an advanced fire suppression system that helps to prevent and minimize damage in the event of a fire. ODP’s 24×7 cooling and humidity management systems employed also utilize backup power to ensure a steady 15-degrees-Celsius environment for optimum operations of all servers for low throttling and N+N redundancy.

  1. Advanced Fire Suppression System

Our fire suppression system utilizes a range of advanced features to provide the highest level of protection. Our primary cooling system is Tabreed, which is a highly efficient and reliable cooling system that helps to prevent overheating and reduce the risk of fire. In the event of a failure, our backup system based on chilled water ensures that the temperature remains stable and safe.

Early smoke detection is critical in preventing fires from spreading. That’s why we use VESDA, a state-of-the-art smoke detection system that detects smoke particles in the air before they are visible to the naked eye. This enables us to detect fires at the earliest possible stage, allowing us to take immediate action to prevent them from spreading.

Our system also uses smoke detectors for fire detection, which are strategically placed throughout the data center to ensure that any potential fires are detected quickly and accurately. Finally, our suppression system uses NOVEC, a highly effective and environmentally friendly agent that suppresses fires quickly and efficiently.

 

Advantages of Data Center Expansion

Data centers are helping businesses in Oman to meet their IT specifications by providing the necessary infrastructure to support their digital operations. With the increasing amount of data generated by businesses, data centers offer a scalable solution that can easily accommodate future growth. This allows businesses to focus on their core operations while leaving the management of their data to the experts.

One of the key advantages of ODP data centers is that they enable businesses to gain a competitive advantage. With the ability to store and analyze large amounts of data, businesses can gain valuable insights into their customers and operations, allowing them to make informed decisions and stay ahead of the competition. Additionally, data centers provide a secure environment for storing critical data, protecting it from unauthorized access, theft, or damage.
