Technology and Capacity
Dell Poweredge servers (retailing around $5000 each) are the heart of our data center and feature Xeon CPUs, at least 2 GB of RAM, hardware raided, scsi hard drives, and logical backups backed up daily (up to a month back). DS3 circuit lines are the basis of our connectivity which are connected to our uplink provider's on-site fiber optic lines with an overall immense GIG capacity. Our data center includes highly maintained firewalls, featuring high level instrusion prevention (IPS). In addtion, we feature UPS, backup enviromental controls, and a secure physical premises.
Redundant Power to the Network
"Always On" capability is crucial to our teleco and data center. Power is money and at our Data Center we back up our investment. The building's Network Operations Center is equipped with redundant power supplies to ensure always-on operation through two separate power sub-grids, an uninterruptible power supply and two back-up diesel generators. Unlike almost any other building in our area, our Data Center draws its power from two separate sub-grids. This provides a level of power security that few buildings offer. Routing and switching equipment is connected to the two separate sub-grids, accessing the building from opposite directions. If one sub-grid goes down, power is almost instantaneously switched to the other sub-grid. If that fails, the building's Network Operations Center kicks-in its uninterruptible power supply and two back-up generators takes care of our vital data center and teleco operations. If our power isn't enough, we have the ability to increase our power service as well as extra areas on-site for additional back-up generators.
Data Center Security
Our Data Center has been designed to protect your company not only at the server and network level, but the building level as well. The building's security system features 36 color video cameras which feed into a networked hard drive recording system and log activities 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We can view live streams from any of the video cameras. Code-operated security gates with programmability protect our data center from unauthorized access.
