Star of Bosphorus Data Center provides a unique facility structure for corporate customers who have prioritized reliability and uninterrupted working time; it is Turkey's most advanced data center with its experienced team and international certification.

Star of Bosphorus Data Center is the first Uptime Institute Tier III Design & resort in Turkey certified "operator-independent" commercial data center in Turkey, and it carries out the operation with 16 MW total power and about 5,000 m2 in the white space for over 2,000 standard cabinets.

We are pleased to offer our customers the highest degree of physical protected server / hardware hosting facility designed to reduce the risk of earthquakes. We provide the level of protection with the architecture of the building, the overall design of the data center infrastructure and the location of the facility.

The data center has a scalable design with four Data Center Modules (DCM). Each Data Center Module has its own infrastructure with power, cooling, fire prevention and physical security systems. Our facility has an office space for our customers who want to position their IT staff close to their systems. Telecommunication operators have the opportunity to use the MMR ”meet-me room“ areas for reliable data connection.

  • Structural Design

    Istanbul is located in an important earthquake zone based on its thousands of years of seismic history. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure operational continuity with seismic isolation system in a data center that will be established in Istanbul and to protect equipment investment in case of a possible earthquake.

    Star of Bosphorus is the first data center in Turkey that is designed to ensure continuity of operation in case of an earthquake based on the correlation of seismic incidents in the last two thousand five hundred years, in accordance with globally-accepted FEMA standards.

    With its structural seismic isolation designed to reduce earthquake risk, which is the first in Turkey and one of the few in the world; Star of Bosphorus will protect the entire building against earthquake and eliminate any possible interruptions in case of an earthquake.

    Star of Bosphorus has been designed and constructed by considering all requirements for a data center. It has been constructed to serve only as a data center building according to equipment, white spaces, general use areas and the most effective layout plan for entry and exit, and consists of single floor building that is appropriate/suitable for all weight loading.
