★ Bergamo · Aruba campus · colocation customers
We service our customers' servers hosted in Ponte San Pietro.
Aruba's Global Cloud Data Center (Ponte San Pietro, BG) is one of the largest DC campuses in Italy. Many companies, in Lombardia and beyond, keep servers there in colocation or housing. If you are one of them: we are roughly 50 km from your rack, and we work directly on the hardware.
Upfront clarification
RiparazioneServer.com is not an official Aruba partner. The service described on this page covers the work we perform, on behalf of our customers, on their physical servers hosted in colocation/housing at Aruba's DC campus in Ponte San Pietro. Datacenter access procedures and security policies are and remain the exclusive responsibility of Aruba.
Context · public data
What Aruba's Global Cloud Data Center in Ponte San Pietro is.
The Global Cloud Data Center (IT3) operated by Aruba S.p.A. is located at Via San Clemente 53, Ponte San Pietro (BG), a few kilometres from Bergamo and about half an hour by motorway from Milan. The campus covers an area on the order of 200,000 m² and is designed for Rating 4 under the ANSI/TIA 942-B-2017 standard (information published by Aruba).
For anyone with servers in colocation or housing on the campus, having a technical partner specialised in on-site hardware work nearby (separate from the datacenter's own managed service) is a practical advantage: it means operational independence, the ability to work on your own equipment and hardware-specific support.

What we do in your rack at PSP
Everything we do in the lab. On-site. Coordinated with DC procedures.
Bringing to the Aruba campus the same depth of intervention we have in the laboratory. For every type of job we assess whether it is feasible and optimal in the rack, or whether it makes more sense to pull the component and take it to our equipped lab.
Replacement with a downtime window
Motherboard, CPU, ECC RAM modules, internal RAID controller, backplane. Maintenance window planned with the customer, post-work testing.
On-site expansion
ECC RAM expansion, enterprise NVMe additions, CPU upgrades on a compatible socket. An "operational refurbished" approach whose TCO is often far better than replacement.
Server expansionScheduled hardware refresh
Internal cleaning, thermal paste renewal, connector checks, BMC/CMOS battery replacement, recabling in an agreed window. The server's periodic service.
Hardware refreshOn-site health check
SEL readout via IPMI/iDRAC/iLO, log analysis, thermal assessment, SMART checks on drives and RAID arrays. Written report with priorities.
Health checkOn-site data recovery where feasible
For cases that allow cloning and recovery in place. For complex scenarios (physical drive damage), transfer to the laboratory under a tracked procedure.

FAQ · Aruba Ponte San Pietro
Questions from those with servers in colocation/housing at PSP.
Do you work on your customers' servers hosted in the Aruba datacenter in Ponte San Pietro?
Yes. We deliver on-site hardware service on our customers' servers hosted at Aruba's campus in Ponte San Pietro (BG): component replacement (ECC RAM, drives, power supplies, motherboard), upgrades in production (RAM/NVMe/CPU), hardware repair, scheduled maintenance, on-site data recovery where feasible. We coordinate access with the hosting datacenter's security procedures. Important to be clear: we are not an official Aruba partner — our service is provided to the customer who owns the servers in colocation/housing on the campus.
What kind of technical work do you carry out in colocation at the Aruba campus?
The full range of hardware work we perform in our laboratories, brought on-site to the customer's rack. Hot-swap replacement (drives, redundant PSUs, fans), replacement of components requiring downtime (motherboard, CPU, ECC RAM, RAID controller), planned upgrades (RAM expansion, NVMe additions, thermal/paste refresh), RAID recovery and array rebuilds, scheduled hardware refresh, advanced diagnostics with instrumentation brought on site. For cases that require the equipped laboratory, we arrange component removal, work at the lab and re-racking.
How long does it take you to reach the Ponte San Pietro campus for an urgent job?
Our operations site is in Melzo (MI), connected to the Ponte San Pietro campus mainly via the A4 motorway — the road distance is on the order of 50 km. Under normal traffic conditions the trip typically takes 50-75 minutes. Actual response time almost always depends more on access authorisation and the window granted by the DC than on our travel: for non-recurring access the notice period typically required by the datacenter is 24-72 hours, which can be compressed for critical cases.
How do you coordinate access, badges and security procedures with the datacenter?
We work with the customer to produce the formal access request to the DC, providing the technical staff details, the requested time windows and a description of the work. The Aruba datacenter has structured security procedures (access control, badges, visitor registration and, in many cases, escorting) which we follow in full. For customers with recurring work we support the authorisation procedure for designated personnel. All work is documented with a report signed by the technician on site.
Are your servers at PSP?
