Data Center Background
The data center is a new, state-of-the-art facility. It is built on today's technology and practices a philosophy of being a security-focused operation. This philosophy is exemplified by an advanced Toshiba physical security system as well as the very best network and security choices for customers. Activities and services are monitored by an experienced technical staff 24x7 from the Network Operations Center (NOC).

The facilities include 5,000 square feet of raised floor, a 1,200 square foot telco style room, in addition to a network operations monitoring center, conference rooms, administrative space and break room.


 
Space
  • Raised Floor
    Secure co-location in a 5,000 square foot room with 18" raised floor. Wide aisles provide convenience for the installation and maintenance for today's rack-mounted servers.
  • Cabinets
    Chatsworth Products (CPI) 27" x 39" x 84" locking with internal vertical cable management and vented front and back doors.
  • Private Suites
    Available upon request.

 
Power
  • Eletrical Power
    Electrical power from Colorado's Xcel Energy is delivered from dual feeds from the Surrey Ridge substation. The electric service in the building is connected to a parallel redundant Powerware UPS, which delivers conditioned power to the data center via a Starline Bussway system. This system eliminates the need for traditional power distribution units (PDU's) and enhances the reliability of the system as well as making "A" and "B" power available to every computer equipment cabinet.
  • UPS
    Dual Powerware 160KVA.
  • Generator
    Cummings 1000KW diesel generator with 7-day fuel reserve.
  • Distribution
    Starline Bussway provides A/B power to all cabinets.
  • ATS
    1600 Amp Automatic Transfer Switch.

 
Access
  • Primary
    Cable & Wireless Gigabit Ethernet over multi-mode fiber to their national fiber network node located in adjacent building. This node has eight (8) OC-192 connections to the Cable & Wireless network.
  • Alternate
    100 Mbps Ethernet over single-mode fiber connection to the Denver Internap PNAP via XO's Metropolitan Area Network.
  • Available
    ICG,Qwest and Level3. Qwest and ICG currently provide OC-3 connections to the facility and additional capacity is available from both carriers.

 
Security
  • Access
    Controlled by card key system issued by NOC personnel staffed 24x7x365.
  • Surveillance
    Twenty-three (23) Toshiba cameras, connected to a Toshiba closed circuit surveillance system, monitor the data center. This state-of-the-art system provides NOC staff with the ability to visually monitor all doors to the data center and all cabinets within the data center. The system detects any movement, triggering one or more of the cameras to capture a digital image of the movement, which is recorded to a RAID based hard drive system. The images are archived periodically and can be transferred to any digital media on-demand.
  • Data Center Floor Access
    Controlled by access card and biometric scan.
  • Visitors
    Visitors must be granted access by duly authorized representatives of the data center clients. A biometric scan and surrender of the visitor's driver's license for a proxy card is required for visitors to gain access from the lobby to the administrative area. Another biometric scan and use of the access card is required to enter the raised floor area.

 


 

Differentiators
  • The physical infrastructure utilizes an $8.5 million investment by Colo.Com, a previous tenant of the building that went out of business due to over-investing and over-building. This investment in infrastructure provides a reliable, high performance data center for customers to host their mission-critical applications.
  • The focus is to operate a high quality data protection facility in Inverness Business Park. This translates to a simple, powerful business plan with positive cash flow and a stable, profitable environment for customers.
  • The center is carrier-neutral and will enjoy Gig-E and fiber accessibility to XO, Internap, Cable & Wireless, Qwest, MFS, ICG, AT&T and Sprint.
  • The center is a highly stable, controlled raised floor environment with an uninterruptible power supply and back-up generator, fire suppression, HVAC, separate cooling zones, humidity control and security.
  • Your equipment and bandwidth are monitored 24 hours by 7 days a week by our own engineers, with enhanced monitoring services a call away.
  • Highly trained and experienced staff is available to assist you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Their expertise is available for professional services in advanced network design and logical security.
  • Customer amenities such as day cubicles with phone and Internet access, meeting rooms and equipment set-up laboratories with available flat screens, keyboards, patch cords, tools, etc.

 
Environmental
  • Cooling and Humidity
    Controlled by six (6) 30-ton Data Aire air handling units (AHUs) providing N+2 redundancy. The AHus are completely redundant (N+2) as only 3 of the AHU's are needed to properly cool the data center if it were fully loaded with equipment.
  • Operating Environment
    Set at 68°F (20°C) with 45% humidity and a variation of no more than 4°F of temprature, or 4% in humidity.
     

 
Fire Detection and Fire Suppression
  • Fire Detection
    Multi-zone above and below raised floor monitored internally by the NOC and externally by Honeywell. The data center has sensors installed both above and below the raised floor to detect gases that rise with the airflow in the center as well as heavy gases that tend to settle under the floor.
  • Fire Suppression
    Dry pipe pre-action system that will not pressurize until two (2) mointors are triggered. The fire suppression system is a pre-action, dry pipe which would discharge water only from the appropriate locations if the heat in the data center increases enough to trigger a fire sprinkler head. The discharge of a sprinkler would signal the emergency power off switch which would simultaneously turn off the electrical power to the entire data center room.

 
Operations Center
  • Staffing
    24 x 7 x 365.
  • Personnel
    NOC personnel are well trained with CCNA, CCNP, CCSA, CCSE, MCSE and other certifications.
  • Monitor
    The Network, facilities, and customers are monitored continuously by best of breed monitoring tools.
  • Remote Hands
    Available for assisting customers.
