DCSTAR

DC Star is a Belgian colocation and data-centre provider, primarily active in Flanders (Belgium), operating three data-centre locations in Gent (Ghent), Oostkamp and Burcht. The company positions itself as an “energy-efficient, affordable and reliable” provider of server housing and connectivity services since approximately 2005. Its strategic significance lies in offering regional colocation options in Belgium — appealing to enterprises and service-providers requiring infrastructure close to Flemish/Brussels markets with good network access and local service orientation.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• DC Star operates three data-centre sites in Belgium: Gent (33 Poortakkerstraat, 9051 Gent), Oostkamp (196 Brugsestraat, 8020 Oostkamp) and Burcht (Antwerpsesteenweg 221, 2070 Burcht). 
• The company states a total of 844 maximum racks across its sites. 
• Redundancy in power, cooling and connectivity is standard: “redundant in power, connectivity and cooling” are terms used in its listing. 
• Certifications: DC Star proudly carries ISO 27001 for information security (and also ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISAE type 1 & 2) on record. 
• Services include full-rack cabinets, private rooms (“only your equipment in our racks”) and colocation/housing of servers. 

🔐 Security & Compliance

• On-site security, controlled access and high operational standards as part of their offerings: their certifications-list and their redundancy claims support this. 
• The ISO 27001 certification indicates a formal information-security management framework is in place. 
• The redundant power/ cooling/ connectivity design helps support operations for business-critical workloads, aligning with enterprise expectations.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• Carrier-neutral colocation facilities: although not every detail lists all carriers, DC Star’s positioning implies access to connectivity, multiple network providers and interconnection services.
• Geographically placed in key Belgium locations (Gent, Oostkamp, Burcht) which gives customers access to the Flemish/Brussels region network hubs and potential cross-border connectivity.
• The public site listings show “Internet Access,” “Colocation,” “Exchanges,” and “Point-to-Point” as available services across its sites. 

💼 Who It Serves

• Enterprises, small-to-medium businesses and service-providers looking for regional colocation in Belgium (particularly Flanders) rather than large-scale hyperscale campuses.
• Managed service providers and systems integrators wanting flexible rack/room solutions with local footprint and local customer service.
• Organizations with data-sovereignty or latency/region-focused requirements in Belgium, who prefer infrastructure close to Brussels/Flanders with good connectivity.
• Customers who value certifications (ISO 27001) and stable infrastructure for their critical applications.
