Three availability zones (3-AZ)

Three independent data centers in the Tricity, Poland, linked by a 100 Gbps fiber-optic ring. One coherent platform for cloud, hosting and disaster recovery — with data that stays in Poland.

What a 3-AZ architecture gives you

Resilience to a full DC failure

If one facility goes down, your services keep running in the two remaining independent availability zones.

Cross-zone replication and DR

Keep backups and machine replicas in physically separated buildings — a natural foundation for disaster recovery.

100 Gbps fiber ring

Multiple 100 Gbps links, fibers entering each building from different sides along independent routes. A single cable cut does not break communication.

Low latency within Poland

All three facilities sit in the Tricity. The fiber route between Gdańsk and Gdynia is about 70 km with a latency of roughly 0.3 ms.

TIER III-class facilities

Redundant power (N+1, 2N), generators and UPS units, precision cooling and inert-gas fire suppression. Continuity even when individual systems fail.

Data in Poland, GDPR-compliant

Processing exclusively in Polish data centers, with Polish support and contracts. Full control over where your data lives.

Three availability zones (3-AZ) in the Tricity, Poland

A data center is a purpose-built facility that provides: surplus, redundant power feeds; multiple fiber-optic connections; access control systems; early smoke detection; automatic inert-gas fire suppression (e.g. FM200); and redundant precision cooling systems.

Our infrastructure runs across three independent data centers, each forming a separate availability zone:

  • MP100 — Gdańsk, Marynarki Polskiej 100,
  • GAC133 — Gdynia,
  • IQ — IQ Data Center, Gdańsk, Geodetów 16.

MP100, GAC133 and IQ are joined by a fiber-optic ring with multiple 100 Gbps links. The fibers enter each building from different directions and follow independent routes, so a single cable cut or the loss of one segment does not break communication between the zones. Thanks to this, our data centers operate as one coherent platform, enabling smooth data migration and redundancy across locations. Whether you use our public cloud or hosting, the inter-zone links guarantee high throughput and reliability.

Physical security

The data-center buildings are monitored and guarded around the clock, with electronic access control, CCTV and 24/7/365 security. Server rooms are equipped with VESDA early smoke detection and automatic inert-gas fire suppression that does not damage hardware.

Reliable connectivity

Carrier-neutral data centers with cross-connects of most national and local operators: Orange, Netia, UPC, Task, Exatel, T-Mobile, Limes/Vectra, TBTelecom, Telkros, Atman. Diversified cable ducts and building entries (protection against accidental digging damage) plus several exits to the global network and internet exchanges — EPIX, TPIX, Thinx.

Frequently asked questions

What is an availability zone?

It's a physically independent data center with its own power, cooling and network connectivity. Spreading services across three zones means the failure of one facility does not stop operations — your services keep running in the two remaining zones.

What does TIER III class mean?

TIER III is a data-center design level with redundant power and cooling systems (N+1, 2N) that allows maintenance without interrupting operations. In practice it means high availability and resilience to the failure of individual components.

How low is inter-zone latency?

All three facilities are located in the Tricity. The fiber route between Gdańsk and Gdynia is about 70 km, with a latency of roughly 0.3 ms — so the zones behave like one coherent platform.

What certifications and compliance does the infrastructure provide?

The IQ Data Center facility holds ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 9001 and PCI DSS certificates, and its availability corresponds to class 3 under the EN 50600 standard series. We process data exclusively in Polish data centers, in compliance with GDPR.

Can I build a disaster recovery plan on this?

Yes. Three physically separated zones joined by a 100 Gbps ring let you keep backups and replicas in different buildings and replicate data and machines across locations — a natural foundation for a disaster recovery plan.
