| Raised Floors |
| HVAC, Separate cooling zones with over 60 tons of cooling |
| Multiple Levels of Security |
| Card key access |
| Video surveillance |
| Multiple levels of Fire suppression |
| Early Warning System |
| FM-200 gas-based fire suppression system |
| Multiple redundant Power back-up |
| Continuous, uninterruptible power supply |
| Environmental Monitoring Systems maintain constant
temperature and humidity |
Routers and Equipment
| Juniper Backbone Routers |
| Hewlett-Packard Gigabit Ethernet Switches |
| Routers have multiple connections to our backbone |
Connectivity:
| Currently there is a full 2000 mbps (2GiG-E connections)
supplying our Data Center. In OC fiber line terms that’s close
to 3- OC-12 lines and 1- OC-3 line. |
| The use of non-blocking gigabit devices throughout the
network ensures regional latency of a few milliseconds or less,
suitable for the most demanding delay-sensitive traffic. Use of
redundant fiber rings ensures network reliability and
availability. |
| The data center has connections to many different Internet
backbones including Qwest, AT&T, Level3, Genuity, Time Warner
and Yipes. By connecting to multiple tier 1 backbones, the data
can be distributed through many sources. This architectural
design also means that the network connections are not dependent
upon an single Internet backbone. Thus when probems occur,
traffic rerouting is automatic, thereby ensuring the integrity
of the network and continued access for our high-speed servers.
|
| This takes the term “multi-homing” to a whole new level.
Presently bandwidth utilization is 5% during peak traffic times.
Therefore, the network is very flexible. If one of the backbone
connections experiences problems, the traffic can simply be
rerouted over other paths, thereby ensuring that users receive
fast access times to sites hosted on our network. |
| In addition, the network runs Border Gate Protocol (BGP4).
BGP is used at a provider with more than one access point to the
Internet. It helps create a truly redundant network. In fact, in
an ideal situation, a lease line failure should result in the
BGP routing session to close on the bad leased line and the
router on a working circuit should then begin to accept the
additional traffic. In other words, traffic from a down circuit
is redistributed across other circuits, thereby maintaining
network integrity. Providers that are multi-homed and correctly
setup can actually be more reliable than a single backbone
provider because they have multiple paths to multiple providers. |
Internal Connectivity
A provider's local area network is not often enough being seen as
a point of latency.
The two main sources of latency for a full-time Internet connection
are the user's local area network and the Internet provider's local
area network. Ether switches and high-end Juniper routers anchor the
local network. This top-of-the-line network hardware ensures that
data requests get to their destination and back out of the network
as fast as possible.
We use ether switches instead of hubs because of their speed and
their security capabilities.
Whereas only one computer plugged into a hub can talk at one time,
all the machines connected to a switch can talk at the same time.
This means more data can travel through a switch and each server
acts as its own node on the network. Furthermore, since each server
is its own node on the network, it is difficult for hackers to trace
data packets with sensitive information (i.e. passwords) to a
particular server.
Servers on the network do not share a single path (T3). Instead, the
servers are connected into a high-speed Ethernet switch. This switch
is connected to the core router at the data center.
From the core router, data is sent back to the end user across the
fastest available path. Whereas statically routing traffic over one
path creates a single point of failure, this distributed
architecture ensures that users can access data extremely quickly
and have multiple paths both into and out of our network.
