| Security
Access
to our data centers is restricted by two-factor authentication including
Biometric hand scanners. Online Rack data centers are physically isolated
from everyone but level three technicians. Public access is strictly forbidden.
All entrances and common areas are monitored 24x7 via closed-circuit cameras.
Precision Environment
Our data
centers' HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) systems are N+1 redundant
to ensure that - even in the event of an entire HVAC system failure -
there is a duplicate system on standby to take over. All air is circulated
and filtered every 90 seconds to remove dust and contaminants. An advanced
fire-suppression system is in place to prevent any fire from spreading
- in the unlikely event that one could start. All cables to servers and
routing equipment are securely tied down and cable racks suspended from
the ceiling provide dual routes for all cables.
Uninterruptible Power Supply with Generator Backup
Power systems
in Online Rack data centers are designed to run uninterrupted even in
the unlikely event of a total power outage. All servers are fed with conditioned
UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) power that will run if utility power
fails. The UPS power subsystem is N+1 redundant with instantaneous failover
in case the primary UPS fails. In the event of an extended power outage,
on-site diesel generators can run indefinitely. Generators are regularly
tested to ensure functionality in the event of an emergency.
