Harper points out that Neterra ’ s data centres are “ very well connected to the outside world ,” describing it as “ the gateway ” into several locations . The reason for this is that all the cables coming from places such as Athens , Istanbul , and Romania pass through Neterra ’ s facilities .
Alternative offerings to Tier 1 markets With such a diverse range of services , Neterra can provide technical solutions of up to 150MW in one of its data centres in Stonik , which , according to Chakinski , is located at the largest substation in Southeastern Europe with a power capacity of 1.2 Terawatts . “ There we can meet the power and space needs of any business that chooses us as a partner ,” Chakinski says . “ In addition to that , we are a telecom operator meaning that we can provide a full portfolio of telecom and wholesale data centre services , as well as different solutions to our customers .” Chakinski also points out that Neterra has a better time to market compared to some other Tier 1 markets focused on colocation . The average time to deploy a new 15MW power supply line for Neterra is up to two years , whereas other Tier 1 markets may require five to seven years , explains Chakinski .
Harper adds that the company has a great geographical location , low tax and highly trained engineers , as well as competitive electricity pricing - something which is a top priority for Neterra .
