Data
Center Infrastructure
Tier1 Data Center Facilities include the following:
Network Operations Center monitoring, staffed 24x7x365 Access
controlled by access card and biometric scan, with motion detecting
surveillance system Dual, fully redundant Gigabit Ethernet connections
to SAVVIS and to Internap Network routing optimization technology for
enhanced network performance 13,000+ square feet of raised floor data
center space with customized colocation offerings Highly stable,
controlled, raised-floor environment with redundant power delivery,
back-up generators, fire detection and suppression, HVAC, humidity
control and physical security Operating Environment Set at 68°F (20°C)
with 45% humidity and a variation of no more than 8°F of temperature,
or 4% in humidity Fire Detection multi-zone above and below raised
floor monitored internally by the NOC Highly trained and experienced
staff available for professional services and remote hands assistance .
Power
Electrical power from Colorado's Xcel Energy is delivered from dual
feeds from the Surrey Ridge substation. The electric service in the
building is connected to a parallel redundant Powerware UPS, which
delivers conditioned power to the data center via a Starline Bussway
system. This system eliminates the need for traditional power
distribution units (PDU's) and enhances the reliability of the system
as well as making "A" and "B" power available to every computer
equipment cabinet.
UPS : Dual
Powerware 160KVA.
Generator :Cummings 1000KW diesel generator with 7-day fuel
reserve.
Distribution :Starline Bussway provides A/B power to all cabinets.
ATS :1600
Amp Automatic Transfer Switch.
Environmental
Cooling and Humidity
Controlled by six (6) 30-ton Data Aire air handling units (AHUs)
providing N+2 redundancy. The AHus are completely redundant (N+2) as
only 3 of the AHU's are needed to properly cool the data center if it
were fully loaded with equipment.
Operating Environment :Set at 68°F (20°C) with 45% humidity and a
variation of no more than 4°F of temprature, or 4% in humidity.
Fire Detection and Fire Suppression
Fire Detection
Multi-zone above and below raised floor monitored internally by the NOC
and externally by Honeywell. The data center has sensors installed both
above and below the raised floor to detect gases that rise with the
airflow in the center as well as heavy gases that tend to settle under
the floor.
Fire Suppression
Dry pipe pre-action system that will not pressurize until two (2)
mointors are triggered. The fire suppression system is a pre-action,
dry pipe which would discharge water only from the appropriate
locations if the heat in the data center increases enough to trigger a
fire sprinkler head. The discharge of a sprinkler would signal the
emergency power off switch which would simultaneously turn off the
electrical power to the entire data center room.
Operations Center
Staffing
24 x 7 x 365.
Personnel
NOC personnel are well trained with CCNA, CCNP, CCSA, CCSE, MCSE and
other certifications.
Monitor
The Network, facilities, and customers are monitored continuously by
best of breed monitoring tools.
Remote Hands
Available for assisting customers.
