teraswitch: DB2 Data Center

Located in Dublin, Ireland, the DB2 Data Center operated by TeraSwitch is housed within the renowned Equinix International Business Exchange (IBX) campus. Positioned approximately 20 minutes from Dublin Airport and 30 minutes from the city centre, it offers both ease of access and strong infrastructure connectivity. DB2 stands out for its high-density colocation focus, rich carrier ecosystem (including access to the Irish Internet Exchange at DB1) and resilience design—supporting enterprises, carriers, and service providers with mission-critical workloads. 

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• The data centre features a densely connected “carrier-hotel” environment, designed to interconnect networks, cloud services and end-user platforms. 
• Power architecture: N+1 power redundancy is stated in the facility profile, supporting reliable energy delivery. 
• Cooling architecture: High-efficiency CRAC/CRAH units with variable-speed design and dual-powered configuration support climate control and performance. 
• Scalability: The facility covers approximately 21,132+ square feet of data-centre space. 
• Support services: TeraSwitch provides colocation, direct cross-connects, dark-fiber access, connectivity IP transit and dedicated server hosting within the facility footprint. 

🔐 Security & Compliance

• The facility is constructed above the 500-year flood plain and includes seismic considerations as part of its risk mitigation profile. 
• Life-safety systems such as dual-interlock pre-action dry-pipe sprinkler systems are noted in the facility description. 
• Access and monitoring infrastructure: environment probes for temperature/humidity monitoring, secure loading zones, guest parking and dedicated infrastructure zones.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• Carrier-neutral design: The DB2 site is embedded within the Equinix Dublin IBX ecosystem, providing metro connectivity across IBX sites (including DB1) and access to the Irish Internet Exchange (INEX). 
• Offers cross-connects, dark fiber, network meet-me rooms and multi-network options enabling high-performance interconnection between tenants, carriers and cloud services. 
• Ideal for low-latency, high-density network deployments due to its strategic location in Dublin and direct links into the broader European network fabric.

💼 Who It Serves

• Telecommunications and network providers seeking a carrier-hotel environment with broad interconnect options and high-density infrastructure.
• Cloud and content delivery networks (CDNs) that require strong connectivity, availability and scalable colocation space.
• Enterprises with critical IT workloads or interconnection needs that demand robust redundancy and access to multiple cloud/peering providers.
• Hybrid IT users looking to integrate colocation, dedicated servers and network infrastructure in a central, peak-connectivity hub in Western Europe.
