Our Tier1 Data Center Facilities include the following:

• Network Operations Center monitoring, staffed 24x7x365
• Access controlled by access card and biometric scan, with motion detecting surveillance system
• Dual, fully redundant Gigabit Ethernet connections to SAVVIS and to Internap
• Network routing optimization technology for enhanced network performance
• 13,000+ square feet of raised floor data center space
• Highly stable, controlled, raised-floor environment with redundant power delivery, back-up generators, fire detection and suppression, HVAC, humidity control and physical security
• Highly trained and experienced staff available for professional services

Cooling and humidity is controlled by more than 12 air handling units (AHUs) featuring N+1 and N+2 redundancy (dependant on location within the center). The system keeps the operating environment in the data center at 68 degrees with 45% humidity with a variation of no more than 8 degrees of temperature and 4% humidity.

Electrical power is delivered from dual feeds from substation. The electric service in the building is connected to parallel redundant Powerware UPS units, which delivers conditioned power to the data center via a Starline Bussway system. This system eliminates the need for traditional power distribution units (PDU's) and enhances the reliability of the system as well as making "A" and "B" power available to every computer equipment cabinet. The power is backed up by two diesel generators connected to separate automatic transfer switches (ATS).

Fire detection within the Data Center is provided by an early detection alarm system monitored both within the NOC and by Honeywell as a backup third party monitoring service. The monitoring system informs the NOC staff of the specific alarm generating the warning and its location. The data center has sensors installed both above and below the raised floor to detect gases that rise with the airflow in the center as well as heavy gases that tend to settle under the floor. The fire suppression system is a pre-action, dry pipe which would discharge water only from the appropriate locations if the heat in the data center increases enough to trigger a fire sprinkler head. The discharge of a sprinkler would signal the emergency power off switch which would simultaneously turn off the electrical power to the entire data center room.
