Data Center

The Data Center:
Industrial-Grade Equipment for the Ultimate In
Performance and Reliability

We recognize that down time is not desirable for your web site. That's why our provider has hardware and facilities that have kept our clients' sites up and running on the web 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Our hosting provider's Network Operations Center (NOC) features raised flooring. This enables a constant flow of conditioned air and helps to maintain uniform room temperature at all times. In addition, raised flooring reduces static and ensures a professional, computer grade environment.

The facility is equipped with a Raytheon fire suppression system, designed to immediately extinguish fire and protect equipment and personnel. The command center is controlled via automatic doors to further secure and protect the equipment.

Finally, the NOC is located in a secure, monitored, class A building with a minimum number of approved personnel allowed access to highly sensitive areas and equipment. A detailed record of employee and visitor entry is maintained at all times.

Uninterruptible Power System

To guard against local power failures, the NOC has two industrial-grade, three phase Liebert UPS systems. These act as back-up batteries, maintaining uninterrupted power in case of surges or power outages. With these backup systems in place, the network can stay up and running indefinitely without relying on external power.

Industrial-Grade Air Conditioners

The NOC has two Liebert ten ton industrial air conditioners, which condition the computer rooms and operations center. The computer room is kept at an optimal temperature of 65 degrees fahrenheit.

Custom Web Servers

The web servers are custom-built industrial machines designed for a 24/7 web serving environment. All servers are equipped with dual redundant 450-watt power supplies, SCSI drive and force-filtered cooling systems.

Force Filtered Cooling

All of the custom web servers are equipped with a positive pressure filtered-air system. Four large fans pull filtered air into each server's protective case and the components within are cooled by fans which circulate this purified air. This constant introduction of clean air into the case creates a positive pressure environment ensuring dust and particles remain outside of the server.

Redundant Hot Swap Power Supplies

Each server employs dual-redundant hot swap power supplies. If a power supply were to fail, the server would continue running with power from the alternate supply. Meanwhile, alarms would alert a technician, who would quickly restore redundancy. In the meantime, servers and client sites would experience no downtime.

Standby Servers

Spare servers are kept on-line of all CPU configurations.
