Data Center

Security

• Biometric (fingerprint access) scanning technology verifies identity for authorized access into the facility.

• Proximity card access with PIN, in addition to biometric clearance, is required to enter/exit the facility.

• No open cabinets. All of our steel mesh cabinets are fitted with combination locks. As a result, no keys can be lost or duplicated.

• Video surveillance cameras are hidden throughout the facility, monitored by our 24x7 Solution Support Center (SSC); tracks and records access throughout the facility.

• Strategically placed motion/vibration detection devices alert personnel of any forced entry.

Uninterruptible Power

In the event of a commercial power failure, our isolated UPS system will provide immediate backup power until our diesel generators take over the load and continue operation of the center.

• Redundant, uninterruptible power system and diesel powered back-up generator.

• Regular testing and maintenance of back-up systems and procedures.

Redundant HVAC

Redundant Temperature and humidity controls to maintain the optimal operating atmosphere. Our redundant HVAC system keeps the average temperature in the Data Center at 70 degrees F (+/- 2), ensuring a consistent operating atmosphere for your servers. Additional sensors detect variations in humidity and keep the average humidity at 50% (+/-3).

Fire Suppression

Double interlock pre-action dry fire suppression system:

• a minimum of 3 events must occur before discharge: the smoke detector must be activated, the flame/heat detector must be activated, and critical temperatures must be reached at a particular sprinkler head

• Integrated with Operations Control Center monitoring system

• Fail-safe alarm system to prevent false discharge

• Hand-held gas fire extinguishers strategically placed throughout the facility
