Ankara DR for Your Istanbul Systems
Is your primary data center in Istanbul? Back up your systems from Turkey's highest seismic risk zone to our DC partner in Ankara, on a different fault line. 20+ years of infrastructure expertise and PCI-DSS compliant environment.
Why Should Your DR Be in Ankara If You're in Istanbul?
Istanbul is located on the North Anatolian Fault Line in Turkey's highest seismic risk zone. Turkish banking (BDDK), capital markets (SPK), and international regulations require critical systems to be backed up in different geographic regions. Ankara, in a lower seismic risk zone and 450+ km from Istanbul, is an ideal DR location.
450+ km geographic separation - Different fault lines, different seismic zones
High-capacity fiber links between Istanbul-Ankara, <10ms latency
Meets BDDK, SPK, PCI-DSS, and KVKK compliance requirements
Low enough latency for synchronous replication
