Your Infrastructure Deserves Better. Here’s How We Delivered!

Datasur Newsletter July 30, 2025

Built to Perform: With More Power, Smarter Cooling, and Rock-Solid Reliability!

Downtime costs more than you realize, that’s why these upgrades are critical for your business operations.

In July, we implemented key infrastructure improvements at our data center. These aren’t just technical updates, they’re strategic actions designed to protect your business continuity and reduce risks, ensuring your systems keep running smoothly, even when the unexpected happens.

Here’s what we’ve done and how it benefits you:

🔹 Commissioning of the New Inrow Cooling Unit at Our SBO Main Data Center
The newly installed inrow cooling unit is now fully operational, significantly increasing our cooling capacity. This ensures your critical systems stay reliably cool during peak demand while improving overall energy efficiency. It’s a win for both performance and sustainability.

🔹 Upgraded Remote Monitoring Module for Symmetra PX UPS System
We replaced the communication and monitoring module to enable precise, real-time remote tracking of our power systems. Integrated with our EcoStruxure platform, this allows us to detect any anomalies early and act fast minimizing risk and ensuring consistent uptime for your operations.

🔹 Generator Upgrade: Temporary Boost to 2x 420kVA Capacity
Based on performance insights from our EcoStruxure platform, we proactively increased our backup generator capacity by deploying two 420kVA units. This measure enhances overall power stability and ensures your business remains protected during power fluctuations or unforeseen events.

🔹 Backup Cooling Installed in the Private Room Data Center
To further secure conditions for clients in our private room environment, we’ve added a 5-ton backup cooling unit. This extra capacity ensures stable temperatures during maintenance windows or primary unit downtime keeping your systems safe and uninterrupted.
These upgrades are part of our ongoing investment in a secure, reliable, and future-ready data center so you can focus on running your business with confidence.

Whether you’re already with us or exploring options we’re here to help you build a smarter, more secure digital foundation.

Let’s start the conversation.

From Suriname to The Bahamas, we were proud to participate in key events that align with our mission: powering digital transformation through reliable infrastructure and smart ICT solutions.

Sparking Connections at Social Media Day Seminar 2025

Driving Change at ICT Summit 2025
As Gold Sponsor of the ICT Summit, we helped amplify discussions on Suriname’s digital future. Our team contributed to panels and sessions covering key topics like cybersecurity, cloud compliance, and sustainable transformation.

Our Marketing Officer, Zuwena Tjin-Asjoe-Veldboom, joined the panel discussion on ‘The Future of Education and ICT: Preparing the Next Generation’, where she emphasized the need for digital inclusion, national collaboration, and the value of practical tools like micro-credentials.
Through our presence and expertise, we’re helping bridge the gap between policy, education, and technology.

Connecting with the Caribbean Tech Community – CANTO 2025 
We rounded out the month at CANTO’s 40th Annual Conference in The Bahamas, a flagship event for Caribbean ICT. Under the theme “Towards a Unified and Sustainable Caribbean Gigabit Society”, we joined leading voices from across the region to discuss innovation, connectivity, and the role of ICT in a sustainable future.
