Data Center / Web Servers

Our website hosting servers are maintained in a data center in Ashburn, Virginia. The data center, including server hardware and internet access facilities, is maintained and monitored by Network Operation Center (NOC) personnel 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including holidays.

Every element of the data center building structure, from building shell and exterior to floors and roof, meets or surpasses local building codes. It is custom-designed to manage and withstand fire, flood or earthquake.

The entire electrical system has built-in redundancy to guarantee continuous operation. The overall system is N+1 redundant, including each component within the parallel electrical systems. Systems include AC and DC raceways with 2N distribution; AC power delivery via distributed redundant UPS systems; Batteries with at least 7 minutes full load operation; 48 hours of generator fuel and contracts with multiple fuel providers.

The data center is guarded by multi-level security. All personnel must use a hand geometry reader to enter the colocation area. All aspects of the center are recorded 24x7 on high-resolution color digital video cameras archived to disk. The center also has a 24-hour security staff for financial grade protection.

To create optimum conditions for equipment operation and prevent equipment failure, the HVAC system continually monitors and provides appropriate airflow, temperature and humidity.

The data center is protected with a dual-alarmed, dual-interlock multi-zoned, dry-pipe, water-based fire suppression system armed with sensory mechanisms (HSSD) to sample the air and give alarms prior to pressurization. Production area fire suppression is provided by a multi-zoned, pre-action, dry-pipe system. In order for the system to trip, multiple cross-linked events must occur, including detection by ceiling mounted smoke-heads and smoke "sniffers". A sprinkler head must trip for the dry-pipe system to activate. This requires a temperature of 140F at the head location.
