Provisions

Datacenter Groningen uses two different fibre-optic feeds purchased from two different carriers. This ensures the network redundancy of our data centre. In addition, Datacenter Groningen has its own fibre-optic network on the industrial estate where we are located. From Datacenter Groningen, connections can be set up to the following carriers, among others:

Burstable billing

We apply the 95% burstable billing principle. This means you can use the maximum speed during short-term peak loads, but without having to pay for it.

The bandwidth used is measured from the switch or router and recorded in a log file. This is done every five minutes. In your customer portal, you can also monitor your usage yourself.

At the end of the month, the log files are sorted from high to low. Five per cent of the peaks will be deducted and won’t be charged to you.
This means you can use a higher bandwidth for an average of 72 minutes a day at no extra cost.
