The Costa Rica Electricity Institute’s (ICE) Internet Data Center (IDC), located in Cartago, has consolidated throughout the last years as the best in Central America and the Caribbean, thanks to the redundancy and services offered to its corporate clients.

The technological infrastructure offers first level comprehensive solutions for the processing, hosting and safeguard of corporate and banking information.

“We have positioned in a very important way to the level of big companies in the country. We are getting to an occupation of 75%, which means that we have to prepare for new investments”, informed the Telecommunications Manager, Jaime Palermo.

The interest of ICE to provide a higher level of service allowed the Internet Data Center to become a pioneer in the country in getting the design certification category TIER III, one of the highest internationally. ICE is now making efforts to earn two additional certifications, one in construction and one in operation.

The IDC has appropriate, high availability internet technology connectivity infrastructure which ensures continuity to the businesses’ operations. It is commercialized under the brand “kölbi businesses” and it caters to a group of clients with very complex activities.

The Center has an important redundancy both in the communications network and the electrical supply, for which it counts with a 5 megawatt charge originating from different substations. This and other characteristics such as the building security provide a very high level of reliability to its clients.
