Nothing is perfect. This is a lesson we've learned quite well in our 19 years of working with all manner of hosting technology. So - to combat this we have made
everything redundant. Our CTO is fond of saying: "If one is good, and two is great, three is just right." And that philosophy shows in the design of our Datacenters:
Located in Phoenix, AZ we are in one of the most geographically sound environments in the country (and 320 days a year of sunshine
does not hurt!). With virtually no risk from natural disasters, and SSAE-16 Type II certification, our facility is the ideal location for your mission critical infrastructure.
Electrical Power Redundancy
Redundant 12MW commercial power is fed to our N+1 UPS systems which are rated for a MINIMUM of 5 minutes at 100% load.
In the event of total loss of commercial power we have two 1.75MW and seven 2.00MW Caterpillar generators ready to fire at a
seconds notice. A minimum of 48 hrs fuel supply is stored onsite, and generators are tested weekly in addition to following a
strict routine maintenance policy.
Fire and Smoke Detection Systems
HSSD/Laser provides an early detection system and interlocked pre-action dry pipe will quickly suppress any fire at its source.
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems
HVAC systems include chilled-water based systems and capabilities to control humidity as well as air
makeup. The Environmental Systems include redundant 3,000 ton chilled water plants with 38,000 gallons of onsite
backup storage and diverse water feeds. Ultrasonic humidification and high-efficiency CRAH air handlers ensure
optimal conditionals on the datacenter floor at all times.
