Infrastructure

Infrastructure that makes a Difference

We are originally IT system integrators and software developers specializing in IT service and providing business since 2004. For this purpose, we operate our own enterprise cloud infrastructure distributed over several data centers in europe (Germany).

We only rent the footprint in the data centers, with a maximum of the empty racks, everything else is our own hardware, starting with the routers, switches, servers and storage systems, up to the backbone connections (dark fiber) which we operate via our own transponder systems, thus ensuring the self-sufficient networking of our data center locations.

However, since we have been in this business for a very long time, we know that individual components and services can fail at any time, even basic functions such as power supply and air conditioning can fail, which is why we operate our core infrastructure exclusively in Tier certified data centers with redundant USV protected power supply and N+1 air conditioning systems. Our Core components like routers, firewalls, switches, server- and storage-systems are fully redundant too.

We also have our own IPv4- and IPv6-address ranges, which we announce via BGP internet protocol to ensure geo-redundant connectivity of the systems we operate.

We operate our own cloud infrastructure with the following advantages:

Autonomous System (AS) and IP address ranges (RIPE NCC member)
full mesh BGP Core routers with DoS/DDoS traffic mitigation solution
high performance JUNIPER MX routing- and QFX switching infrastructure
high performance FORTINET NGFW firewall infrastructure
high performance SUPERMICRO, FUJITSU, GIGABYTE and ASUS compute- and NetApp storage systems for nodes and API services
Hyperconverged infrastructure / HCI-Cluster systems based on KVM/Ceph
high performance bare-metal servers for RPC nodes & validators
backup and disaster recovery solutions & systems
Ansible deployment and automation
geo-redundant infastructure, distributed across several data centers in europe (Germany)
24x7 infrastructure monitoring with Checkmk, Prometheus and Grafana

Our Vendors: JUNIPER / FORTINET / AMD / INTEL / SUPERMICRO / FUJITSU / GIGABYTE / ASUS / NETAPP / KVM / CEPH / DEBIAN / UBUNTU / ANSIBLE / CHECKMK

Basically, we are a provider of the Web1 & Web2 world in which we grew up and now see the potential in the emerging Web3 cosmos, which we want to actively support with our knowledge and experience.

Your Advantage

How cardinate.io Stands Out / Learn More About Our Advantages

truly independent and decentralized

We operate our own autonomous system (AS) in geo-redundant locations on our own high performance hardware.

So our operations, IP connectivity and services are definitely not depending on any other cloud provider.

This is true Web3 decentralization as it is intended and should be.

resilient fast connections and cutting edge hardware

Our infrastructure is redundant connected to upstream providers who operate global multi terrabit backbones and we also exchange traffic directly at peering points.

We use the latest high performance hardware systems that were developed exclusively for 24x7 operations in the data center.

We have known all of our suppliers and partners personally for years.

rapid automatic deployment and reliable operations

All of our services are deployed completely automatically, so that we can immediately carry out config changes or necessary software updates in a standardized manner.

Our scalable and clustered infrastructure ensure stable, reliable operations and is monitored 24x7 by our on-premise enterprise monitoring system.

About Us

Experience and commitment over 2 decades

We have been in IT since 2001, starting in the Web1 world and compiling Linux systems ourself (Kernel 2.2), quickly realizing that IT and network infrastructure is our strength.

Already in 2004 we have been operating our own linux routers, switches and LAMP servers in data centers.

Since 2015 we operate our own Autonomous System (AS) and geo-redundant data center infrastructure in the center of Europe and can provide fast reliable services that are completely independent.

So we really support the decentralized approach of the Web3 movement, because our operations, IP connectivity and server systems are definitely NOT depending on one of the major centralized cloud providers, like AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean, OVHcloud, Hetzner, etc.
