The Same Standards <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We use exactly the same server blueprint and rack layout across all our locations. One could easily move a server from EU 1 (Munich) or EU 2 (Nuremberg) to USA 1 (St. Louis) and plug it there. We would only need a US power plug. Also, the way we provide cooling to our servers with cooling aisle is essentially the same. We stay true to our German roots building everything by ourselves, not using external contractors. Moreover, we work with several carriers and power suppliers in each of our Locations to ensure redundancy, so that your services will be available all the times, without any interruptions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Same Hardware <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Server components we use in all locations are identical. But there\u2019s more. The entire network hardware is the same as well. We use the same top of the rack switches and the same routers. Even the shelves for servers are exactly the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Same Software <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The proprietary software platform that manages and monitors our servers is also unified across all our locations. No matter where a server is located the virtualization technology, host system software and the installation script stays the same. With the recent launch of our first location in the US, we hear a lot of questions on how we are able to keep our standards in St. Louis data center which is thousands of miles away on a completely different continent. Here\u2019s a sneak peek into how we make it happen.

Basically, our US Location looks like yet another rows of servers in Munich or Nuremberg, but Sascha brags that St. Louis is actually even better and we are going to introduce some of the best practices back in Germany.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/contabo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/contabo_us_fb_6-1024x512.jpg\")
