data center is among the best-connected hosting facilities in the
world. There has been heavy investment in both network equipment and
backbone connections to ensure that our clients get the fastest access
possible to their content and applications. With multiple network
connections to 8 (eight) different Internet backbones

complete redundancy in power, HVAC, fire suppression,
network connectivity, and security. The facility sits atop multiple
power grids driven by TXU electric, with PowerWare UPS battery backup
power and dual power generators onsite. The HVAC systems are a
combination of glycol, chilled water, and condenser units by Data Aire
to provide redundancy in cooling coupled with ten managed backbone
providers. Fire suppression includes a pre-action dry pipe system
including VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) with over 1200
smoke detectors between the three facilities. |
