Data Center Locations Overview

Zomro operates a geographically distributed network of 5 data center locations across Europe and North America. This multi-location strategy ensures that customers can choose server placements optimized for their target audience's latency, legal compliance requirements (such as GDPR data residency), and disaster recovery planning. Having multiple independent facilities also means that an outage in one location does not affect customers hosted in other facilities.

All five facilities share common infrastructure standards including redundant power, precision cooling, multi-layer physical security, DDoS mitigation, and 24/7 on-site monitoring. The Netherlands locations hold formal Tier III certification from the Uptime Institute, representing the highest independently verified reliability standard in Zomro's portfolio.

Netherlands — Delft (Tier III)

The Delft data center is one of Zomro's primary facilities and one of two Dutch locations holding formal Tier III certification from the Uptime Institute. Located in the city of Delft in South Holland province, this facility serves as a cornerstone of Zomro's European infrastructure and hosts a significant portion of their dedicated server fleet.

Why Tier III Matters

Tier III certification requires that every critical infrastructure component — power, cooling, and networking — has at least one redundant backup that can maintain operations during maintenance or component failure. This means your server in the Delft facility will continue running even if a UPS unit fails, a cooling compressor needs replacement, or a network carrier experiences an outage. Concurrent maintainability ensures that any component can be replaced or serviced without shutting down customer servers.

Best Use Cases for Delft

The Delft facility is ideal for mission-critical workloads requiring the highest reliability tier. If you are hosting e-commerce platforms, financial applications, SaaS services, or any application where downtime directly translates to revenue loss, the Tier III certification provides assurance that meets enterprise requirements. The Delft location also offers excellent connectivity to major European internet exchanges.

Netherlands — Oude Meer (Tier III)

Zomro's Oude Meer data center is located near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in the Haarlemmermeer municipality. This strategically important location places it in the heart of the Amsterdam metropolitan area — one of the world's most significant internet hubs with direct connectivity to the Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX), the largest internet exchange in the world by traffic volume.

It is also valuable for businesses that need both European and American infrastructure for load balancing, disaster recovery, or compliance with data residency requirements that mandate keeping US user data within the United States. The facility's proximity to multiple major internet exchanges ensures excellent connectivity to all regions of North America.

Physical Security Systems

All Zomro data centers implement a comprehensive multi-layer physical security framework designed to prevent unauthorized access to server infrastructure. Physical security is the foundation of data center reliability — no amount of network security or software protection matters if an attacker can physically access your server hardware.

Fire Protection & Suppression

Fire is one of the most significant physical threats to any data center. Zomro's facilities employ advanced fire detection and suppression systems designed to protect both personnel and equipment. Traditional water-based sprinkler systems would cause catastrophic damage to electronic equipment, so data centers use specialized gas-based suppression systems instead.

Fire Detection

• Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA): Laser-based air sampling systems that can detect microscopic smoke particles in the earliest stages of a fire, often before visible smoke appears. These systems continuously sample air from multiple points throughout the facility.
• Zone-based detection: Each area of the data center has independent smoke and heat detection for precise location identification.
• Automated alerting: Fire detection triggers immediate alerts to on-site security, facility management, and local fire services simultaneously.

Fire Suppression

• Gas-based suppression: FM-200 or Novec 1230 clean agent fire suppression systems that extinguish fires by removing heat energy from the combustion zone. These gases are electrically non-conductive and leave no residue, meaning your servers continue operating or can be quickly restarted after discharge.
• Zone isolation: Fire suppression is deployed in zones, so a fire in one area only triggers suppression in that specific zone — minimizing the impact on unaffected servers.
• Pre-action systems: In some areas, pre-action dry pipe systems provide an additional layer of protection where gas suppression alone may not be sufficient.

Precision Cooling Systems

Maintaining optimal temperature and humidity is critical for server reliability and longevity. Overheating causes hardware failures, reduces component lifespan, and can lead to thermal throttling that degrades performance. Zomro's data centers employ enterprise-grade precision cooling systems designed to maintain stable environmental conditions.

Cooling Architecture

• Hot aisle/cold aisle containment: Server racks are arranged with alternating hot and cold aisles. Cold air is delivered to the front of servers (cold aisle) while hot exhaust air is captured from the rear (hot aisle). Containment barriers prevent hot and cold air from mixing, dramatically improving cooling efficiency.
• N+1 redundancy: Every cooling unit has at least one backup, ensuring that the failure of a single unit does not compromise temperature control.
• Precision air conditioning: Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) units maintain temperature between 18-24°C (64-75°F) and relative humidity between 45-55% — the optimal range for server hardware.
• Free cooling: In facilities located in cooler climates (particularly the Netherlands), free cooling systems use outside ambient air to supplement mechanical cooling, reducing energy consumption and operating costs.
• Environmental monitoring: Temperature and humidity sensors deployed throughout the facility provide real-time monitoring with automated alerting if conditions deviate from acceptable ranges.

Network Architecture

Zomro's network infrastructure is designed for high availability, low latency, and massive throughput. Their multi-carrier architecture ensures that network connectivity remains operational even if one or more upstream providers experience issues.

Network Design Principles

• Multi-carrier redundancy: Each data center connects to multiple upstream internet providers through diverse physical fiber paths. If one carrier has an outage, traffic automatically reroutes through remaining carriers using BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) failover.
• Diverse fiber paths: Fiber optic cables enter each facility from different directions, ensuring that a single construction accident or cable cut cannot disconnect the data center from the internet.
• Core network equipment: Enterprise-grade routers and switches from leading manufacturers (Cisco, Juniper, or Arista) with redundant hardware configurations.
• Internet exchange peering: Direct peering with major internet exchanges (AMS-IX, DE-CIX) provides optimized routing to hundreds of networks worldwide.
• Network speed: 1-2 Gbit/s network ports on dedicated servers and VPS, with 10 Gbit/s or higher backbone capacity between facilities.
• Low-latency routing: Optimized BGP routing policies prioritize the fastest, most reliable paths to major internet destinations.

DDoS Mitigation

DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks are one of the most common threats facing hosting providers and their customers. Zomro includes DDoS protection on all hosting plans at no additional cost — a significant value add that many competitors charge extra for. Their mitigation infrastructure is designed to handle both volumetric attacks that flood bandwidth and application-layer attacks that target specific services.

DDoS Protection Features

• Included on all plans: Every shared hosting account, VPS, and dedicated server receives DDoS protection automatically — no additional configuration or payment required.
• Volumetric attack mitigation: Network-level filtering that absorbs high-volume floods (UDP floods, SYN floods, amplification attacks) before they reach your server. Zomro's network has sufficient scrubbing capacity to handle attacks up to multiple Gbit/s.
• Application-layer protection: Layer 7 DDoS mitigation for HTTP/HTTPS attacks including HTTP floods, slowloris, and other application-layer threats that bypass network-level defenses.
• Automatic detection and mitigation: Traffic analysis systems continuously monitor for DDoS patterns and automatically activate mitigation when an attack is detected — no manual intervention required.
• Real-time traffic analytics: Visibility into traffic patterns, attack types, and mitigation effectiveness through management interfaces.
• Zero downtime mitigation: Legitimate traffic continues flowing during DDoS mitigation, ensuring your services remain accessible to real users even during active attacks.

DDoS Protection for Specialized Use Cases

Zomro offers enhanced DDoS protection for specialized hosting products. Their Forex VPS plans include optimized DDoS mitigation designed specifically for the high-frequency, low-latency requirements of forex trading platforms. Their iGaming hosting solutions include protection against the large-scale DDoS attacks that commonly target online gaming and gambling platforms. These specialized protections go beyond standard mitigation to address industry-specific threats.

Redundancy & Failover

Redundancy is the foundational principle that separates enterprise-grade data centers from basic server rooms. Zomro's infrastructure is built with redundancy at every layer to ensure continuous operation even when individual components fail.

Power Chain Redundancy

The power chain — from utility provider to your server — includes multiple redundancy layers. Utility power enters through two independent feeds from separate substations. Each feed passes through its own UPS system before connecting to an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS). If the primary utility feed fails, the ATS instantly switches to the secondary feed. If both utility feeds fail, diesel generators start automatically within 10-15 seconds and assume the full electrical load. This multi-layer approach means your server has backup power at every single point in the delivery chain.

99.9% Uptime SLA

Zomro backs their infrastructure with a 99.9% uptime Service Level Agreement, guaranteeing that your server will be available at least 99.9% of each calendar month. This translates to a maximum of approximately 43 minutes of unplanned downtime per month. If Zomro fails to meet this SLA, customers are entitled to service credits proportional to the duration of the outage. The SLA is supported by the redundant infrastructure described above, and the Tier III certification at the Netherlands facilities provides independent verification of their reliability standards.

Which Data Center Should You Choose?

Selecting the right Zomro data center depends on several factors including your target audience's geographic location, legal compliance requirements, performance needs, and budget. Here is our decision framework to help you choose the optimal location for your workload.
