Our Data Centers are located in Tampa, Florida, and Boulder, Colorado, USA. Our connectivity comes from multiple redundant OC-48 connections to the Internet via four of the largest tier-1 backbones in existence (including GTE, Sprint, and Cable & Wireless). All servers are housed in secure racks in an air-conditioned, static electricity controlled environment behind 2 locked doors and full security system. They are protected by surge suppression and power management systems to ensure uninterrupted server operations. A professional team of highly trained technicians monitors the network 24/7/365 to guarantee smooth and uninterrupted operation of your site and server.

Connectivity

• Redundant OC-48 connections (1600 T1's) designed not to exceed 40% capacity
• Sites normally delivered within 10 to 70 milliseconds even at peak demand
• Diverse upstream connectivity through multiple large Tier 1 providers
• Diverse network gateway platform fully meshed for maximum uptime
• Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) end-user intelligent routing software

Power

• N+1 redundancy in all systems.
• Average initial DC power plant size of 2000 - 4000 amps of 480 volt three phase power. Growth potential based on site build out.
• 48V DC power plant with redundant "A" and "B" circuits.
• Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) and bypass/isolation switches provide N+1 redundancy for dual source power capability.
• Single-point grounding system established at the Principle Ground Point (PGP) at the service entrance ground and generator as required by the National Electrical Code.
• All power cables are installed in accordance with Telcordia installation and removal guidelines, document number GR-1275.
• UPS output capacity engineered at 375 KVA with Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) Converter - Section and a solid-state static inverter using IGBT transistors.
• 4-hour Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) batteries that meet the requirements of Bellcore Specification TR-NWT-000766, Generic Requirements For Valve Regulated Lead Cells.
• Backup generators with 24 x 7 national maintenance contract.
• PDUs support full load continuous capacity of 100 KVA.

Standards

• UL 478/1950.
• National Electric Code (NEC)
• National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA)
• Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
• National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
• Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)

Security

• 24/7/365 on-site security staff
• 24/7/365 national real time monitoring of all alarm and intrusion systems
• Closed-circuit television surveillance system throughout facilities
• Strict access control system covering all interior areas monitored and controlled

Environment

• Custom HVAC design that supports the cooling loads required for each data center. The system is expandable based on ultimate build out.
• Sites include raised flooring in the cabinet space for improved airflow. Cabinets are bolted into the main floor for seismic stability.
• State-of-the-art Building Management Systems monitored 24/7/365 from Network Operations Center.
• Data centers fully meet the 1997 Uniform Building Code Zone 4 requirements for all California and other active seismic areas.

Fire Protection

• Dry-Pipe, Pre-Action double interlock fire suppression system
• The fire detection system consists of both smoke and high temperature heat detectors. Discharge heads located in machine rooms and equipment rooms are rated at 212 degrees F as prescribed by NFPA.
• Zone specific discharge
• In seismic zones, piping complies with NFPA and local code requirements
• Early warning VESDA fire detection systems

Cabinets

• 23-inch mounting rails that will accommodate equipment that require 19 inches
• 18 available mounting positions for full cabinets
• Redundant 120 Volt A/C, 15 amp, "A" and "B" power receptacle feeds
