# DragBin Infrastructure — Independent, Self-Hosted Cloud at Global Scale

Dragbin operates entirely on self-rented and self-managed infrastructure, giving us full ownership over hardware, networking, and data flows. Built for independence, speed, and reliability at global scale.

## A Truly Independent Cloud Architecture

Dragbin operates entirely on self-rented and self-managed infrastructure, giving us full ownership over hardware, networking, and data flows. Our platform runs across three independent infrastructure vendors located on three different continents, ensuring geographic redundancy and operational continuity.

- **Active-active hot storage** — two hot-storage regions operate in active-active mode with exact, real-time replicas. This allows seamless failover and high availability with no single point of failure.
- **Cold storage bunker** — a third cold-storage region is located in a hardened underground bunker. This environment is designed for long-term durability, disaster recovery, and protection against large-scale events.
- **Multi-continent design** — this multi-continent design ensures data integrity, high uptime, and compliance with regional resilience best practices.

## Private Content Delivery Network (CDN)

Dragbin runs its own private CDN, purpose-built for fast and consistent content delivery. This architecture reduces latency, improves load times, and keeps user traffic within Dragbin-controlled infrastructure. A private CDN is highly effective when traffic patterns are predictable and performance, privacy, and independence are priorities.

- 15 edge servers across 8 countries
- Strategically positioned near major internet exchange points
- Keeps user traffic within Dragbin-controlled infrastructure

## Enterprise-Grade Hardware, Self-Hosted by Design

To maintain reliability while remaining independent from hyperscalers, Dragbin uses enterprise-grade hardware sourced directly from trusted manufacturers, all deployed in self-rented facilities.

- **Supermicro & Dell EMC** — server and compute platforms sourced directly from trusted manufacturers.
- **Rittal** — server racks and enclosures built for enterprise-grade deployments.
- **APC by Schneider Electric** — power protection and environmental control across all facilities.
- **Self-rented facilities** — full hardware ownership eliminates vendor lock-in and ensures complete operational transparency.

## Architecture principles

- No reliance on hyperscale cloud providers
- Full data ownership and sovereignty
- Multi-continent redundancy
- Enterprise hardware with self-managed operations
- Optimized global delivery through a private CDN

## Built for the long term

Dragbin's infrastructure is not optimized for short-term convenience, but for long-term reliability, scalability, and independence. Every design choice from self-hosting to cold storage in a bunker reflects our commitment to building a platform that users can trust.
