Physical Security
|
Keycard protocols, biometric scanning protocols and round-the-clock interior and exterior
surveillance monitor access to every one of our data centers. Only authorized data center
personnel are granted access credentials to our data centers. No one else can enter the
production area of the datacenter without prior clearance and an appropriate escort. We
require that the networking and security teams working in our data centers be certified.
We also require that they be thoroughly experienced in managing and monitoring enterprise
level networks.

Precision Environment
|
Every data center's HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) system is N+1 redundant.
This ensures that a duplicate system immediately comes online should there be a HVAC system
failure. Every 90 seconds, all the air in our data centers are circulated and filtered to
remove dust and contaminants. Our advanced fire suppression systems are designed to stop
fires from spreading in the unlikely event one should occur.

Conditioned Power & Core Routing Equipment
|
Should a total utility power outage ever occur, all of our data centers' power systems are
designed to run uninterrupted, with every server receiving conditioned UPS (Uninterruptible
Power Supply) power. Our UPS power subsystem is N+1 redundant, with instantaneous failover
if the primary UPS fails. If an extended utility power outage occurs, our routinely tested,
on-site diesel generators can run indefinitely. Only fully redundant, enterprise-class
routing equipment is used in our data centers. Fiber carriers enter our data centers at
disparate points to guard against service failure.
