WaveCom opened an innovative data center in Tallinn

Server and cloud service provider WaveCom AS built a new data center in Tallinn, a structure that is not affected by power outages and where there’s no dust. It has a security system that can identify anyone based on facial recognition and finger vein ID.

A security system like in an American movie thriller

There an ultramodern access system in the centre, like those you’ve probably only seen in movies: it includes fingerprint and finger vein ID as well as facial recognition. Every possible corner will be covered with digital, microwave and infrared sensors, and, with the help of facial recognition, the modern system makes sure that people only move in the areas of the building where they are permitted. The security system that is being installed meets FBI quality assurance standards. The entire area is also covered with an automatic gaseous fire suppression that is harmless to people.

Power outages will no longer be a problem

“We are not willing not give an inch when it comes to the quality of our server hosting and cloud services – your data must always be available you. Therefore, in our new building, we are guaranteeing the power supply with two separate Schneider Galaxy UPS units and power rooms that are connected to two different substations. If one of the substations breaks down, the automatic system switches to the other substation. In the unlikely event that both should break down, the generator will automatically start up,” explained Kristian Liivak, CEO of AS WaveCom.

A modern solution allows server hosting and private server clients to manage the power supply and to see the level of their power consumption..

Innovative and environmentally friendly centre

Server rooms require great cooling capacity. In the new building, an innovative multi-layered Schneider system, in which the water circulated for cooling is, in turn, cooled by the outdoor temperature. "At least Estonia’s cool climate comes in handy here," concluded Liivak. The equipment park, for which all the equipment has been sourced from Schneider Electric /APC equipment, is unique in Estonia, because there an equivalent data centre does not yet exist.

„Using the best available equipment makes our managing work easier. The server centre can even be managed from a smart phone. 3D visualized monitoring and modeling helps us to prevent potential problems. This ensures that the entire system works like clockwork. And this provides the clients with greater peace of mind,“ Liivak said.

Unrivalled data communication capability

Three separate fibre-optic cables, with a transmission speed of 60Gbit/s, run from the data centre to Estonia’s most important communication centres. We also provide our clients access to the connections of other operators. Just in case, the optic cable is duplicated by a network of ultra-high-speed radio links. The minimal speed of each client’s port is 1 Gbit/s. But most of our services, such as web hosting and VMware vCloud, are already by default with 10Gb connectivity.

A building without dust

The server centre must always be as clean as a whistle. To avoid any dust getting in, one must wear clothes that don't attract dust when entering the center. On entry a special machine covers footwear with strong plastic film. “The interior finishing of the building goes hand in hand with our technical updates – it will be futuristic, sparkling and shiny, white and crisp in appearance. The completion of the new centre will provide our clients with a truly modern service of the highest quality in the field. Thanks to the new greater capability we will also be able to offer our clients new additional services," Liivak added.

Engaged in software development, we constantly need to quickly create new servers and scale them. For us, owning hardware and dealing with its management is certainly not in line with our goals. After trying out several service providers, we turned to Wavecom, where all our computing needs are covered. The service is also very stable, and it's easy to recommend to our clients to continue using Wavecom's services after development is complete.

The stability of WaveCom's service further led us to start building an automatic Kubernetes platform there, making life significantly easier for both us and our clients. All this is done so that using the service does not require having either DevOps or even IT specialists.
