The total area of PDC Alwernia is 5000 m2, the building is divided into two distinct sections: 
.	3-floor administration-office section, with 400 positions allocated for back-up offices,
.	2-floor server section with an area of 3500m2.

Due to the availability of two data centers, customers can colocate their resources in several places at once, which ensures the creation of a redundant solution required for increased security. Thanks to a direct connection between the two centers with dedicated links, customers receive a highly efficient top-level infrastructure.

The main advantages of this location:
.	1 km from the A4 motorway between Katowice and Krakow,
.	proximity to airports: 22 km - distance to the Krakow-Balice Airport 70 km - distance to the Katowice-Pyrzowice Airport,
.	the building is located in a safe zone,
.	1.6 hectare plot of land,
.	the facility is protected by a 2-metre-high concrete fence.
