This center features multiple and dual path DS3 and OC3 connectivity to our fully-meshed, private ATM backbone with IP routing at the network edge. Our network also includes multiple high-speed, redundant connections to major regional, national and international Internet Exchange Points (MAEs, NAPs). This architecture minimizes latency with QoS guarantees of 125 milliseconds round trip and provides the highest reliability so that even in the event of a link failure, redundant network connections deliver data to users without delay.

Our fully-meshed, private ATM connects its SuperPOPs in 16 major metropolitan areas and 139 secondary and tertiary POPs in other cities. Our network architecture is designed to route its clients' traffic over the most efficient path available. The switched ATM architecture allows for single hop connectivity from one city to another, which reduces latency and failure points. We have 12 private peering relationships including: MCI, Sprint, UUNET, AOL, PSINet, InterNIC, Exodus and Qwest and 197 public peering relationships. Utilizing this system, our clients can deliver their information to sites around the world giving customers local access to information in a timely and cost effective manner.

This location is fully telco hardened. Telco features include: OC-48 and OC-12 SONET, national ATM backbone, microwave, and high capacity dial up and dedicated access (Frame Relay, PRI, DSL, T1, T3, DS3). Our center also features dual entrance facilities on opposite sides of the building with completely diverse conduit back to the node with the serving wire center, thereby eliminating single points of failure.

Bandwidth Management at our center includes: bandwidth options from 250 Kbps to >100 Mbps, autosensing Cisco switches (10 to 100 Mbps), Xedia Access Point for bandwidth management, Alteon  AceDirector for local load balancing, and RND Networks Web Server Direct-NP for global load balancing.

Key to any data center is the proper environmental controls. Our center is equipped with dual transformers, redundant air conditioning (HVAC), Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) with backup diesel generator, multiple power distributions units and breaker panels, FM200 fire suppression systems with dry-pipe sprinkler backup, overhead cable feeds, tempered glass, antistatic tile and seismic bracing.

The UPS can handle up to 300 KVA which is more than adequate to accommodate full capacity of our data center complex. There are two separate ATS (Automatic Transfer Switches), one for the UPS and one for the lights and HVAC units. The UPS has three separate battery strings for increased redundancy. At full load, the center  has 18 minutes of battery power, more than ample time given that the diesel generator will start after two seconds of lost utility power. The diesel generator holds 999 gallons of fuel and is housed in a separate building.

With our facilities you receive high levels of security including: a security desk that is staffed 24x7, video surveillance, motion detectors, steel framed/steel cored doors, escort requirements, restricted card key access, and 24x7 network and remote monitoring.
