Ever wonder where your website is "at home"?
Here are some pictures and descriptions of the facility that houses
our servers.
Security
This area is secure. The front door must be opened
by the security guard who is on duty 24/7/365. Movement throughout
the facility must be escorted at ALL times. There is no other entry
door into the facility with the exception of the loading door which
is protected by a roll down door and may only be operated with a
security officer present.
Above, you see the controls for the security access system as well
as the central monitoring computer for the camera system. The black
box with blue labels is the VESDA system, which stands for something
like "Very Early Smoke Detection something". It is also
monitored by some NOC personnel and will detect trace particles
in the air that alert the server host to the presence of a problem
before it becomes too serious. There are also monitors here for
the UPS and generators. top
Eye In The Sky
There is a camera on a track inside the smoked housing. It is controlled
by security and can run from end to end and looks to both sides.
It is one of over 2 dozen cameras located throughout the facility
that are continually monitored by security. It is the guards responsibility
to know at all times who is in the building and where they are.
Between the cameras, access control, and the security team, this
place is pretty secure. top
Carrier Room
Three of the servers hosts current fiber providers locate their
equipment in this area. The cross connect panels are also located
here. The core network systems and servers will also be located
in this room. This area is served by redundant Data Aire 26 Ton
units as well as redundant power distribution systems. There are
also redundant DC rectifiers. All fiber takes redundant paths throughout
the facility as well as having dual entry. top
Municipal Electrical
This is the panel where the main power comes in to our servers host
facility directly from the outside transformer. Total incoming power
is 480V / 4000 Amps. This is A LOT of power and could also power
an expansion of over double the servers hosts current space size.
(This facility is currently about 30,000 square feet). top
ATS System
This is the current ATS (Automatic Transfer switch). In the event
that the servers host expands the facility, there are pre-plummed
connections for a second ATS for a second generator. top
UPS
The top pic is of the current UPS that supplies power to the facility.
Today, it runs at just 6% of capacity. Next to it, you will see
a second identical UPS. This unit will be commissioned in the near
future and brought online to provide redundant UPS power to the
facility. Again, here is that redundancy thing. Just about everything
in this facility has at least one backup. top
Pictures of Servers
The picture on top shows a rack full of Cobalt servers
(can you see your home page :>)?
The picture on top shows a rack full of AMD DURON and Intel servers
The picture on top is the back side of the servers.
