SuperSwitch: the leap to efficiency and sustainability

VodafoneZiggo has implemented its SuperSwitch project in the Eindhoven datacenter of Interconnect. This means that they have gone from 12 to 3 datacenters. With a network center that functions as each other's back-up, fully aligned with the growth ambitions of this international telecom provider.

VodafoneZiggo has found a party in Interconnect that, like them, places great value on reliability. A few years ago, VodafoneZiggo started looking for a data center that fits in with their long-term strategy. VodafoneZiggo's services focus on user-friendliness and continuity of network connections. These are also starting points for colocation at Interconnect.

Proven Technology

Technical director Jeroen Stevens of Interconnect is clear: “Given the 'proven technology' of Interconnect, we can provide VodafoneZiggo with the desired certainty. We have been running this data center solution for years and its quality has proven itself many times over!” The dedicated spaces that are being built for VodafoneZiggo are linked to a fully redundant, separate and expandable power supply. By connecting to two separate feeds, two transformers and two generators per room, 2N redundancy is a fact.

Towards a green future

Environmental friendliness plays a major role in this SuperSwitch project by VodafoneZiggo. Environmental management is also of great importance to Interconnect. Interconnect is involved in projects by the municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch and the municipality of Eindhoven to explore the possibilities of sharing the residual heat from the data centers. VodafoneZiggo believes a green future is important: “The Vodafone network is gradually reducing from 12 smaller network centers to just three nodes, which act as each other's back-up. We are applying the latest and cleanest energy technologies and are better able to respond to supply and demand, which increases our energy efficiency.”
