About our data center:

- has redundant Sonet ring transport fiber from multiple telco's. These rings have a minimum capability for at least 6 OC-192s each. Fiber optic lines are much more reliable than copper as they are not subject to electrical or environmental interference. In addition, fiber optical cabling has a much greater capacity for bandwidth than copper. The SONET ring technology carries the fiber optical cable in multiple rings giving any point on the ring access to any other point on the ring even if the cable is cut. It is important to note that many data centers and hosting companies share bandwidth and lines, whether fiber optic or copper. We have our own private dedicated fiber lines and own private dedicated internet connections (bandwidth).
- is strategically located in Phoenix, Arizona where we are generally free from all natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes etc.
- has state of the art Juniper routers and HP Gigabit switches and is 100% fiber optic.
- has 60+ tons of automatic redundant Liebert HVAC (climate control) for maximum server reliability.
- has redundant power backup including PowerWare UPS and a half MegaWatt Detroit Diesel powered generator system with an automatic transfer panel. Should utility power ever fail, the UPS systems kick in and power the building while the generator automatically starts and then switches from utility to generator power in less than 1 minute. When utility power is restored, the ATS switches back to utility power. The UPS systems also condition and voltage regulate incoming power to ensure consistent and clean power to all servers, routers and switches.
