The data center / NOC is engineered for 100% reliability in various ways:

• Dual fiber entry points to the building.
• Dual Local Exchange Carriers (LECs)
  • MFS
  • BellSouth
    
    
• Triple ISP Connections at OC-3 speed.
  • AT&T
  • UUnet
  • InterNAP
    
    
• Dual power grid connections
  • Two Georgia Power grid connections

In addition, the building has a standby diesel generator exclusively for server and network power.

There are 6,000 gallons of diesel on-site and a 50-gallon tank is used for weekly generator tests.

Cisco Powered Network™

In order to be a Cisco Powered Network, a data center must utilized Cisco gear from the fiber entry point all the way to the server. Our Atlanta operations are 100% Cisco powered, with hot failover capability and Redundant Everything.

• Routers: Cisco 2600 Edge Routers, Cisco 7600 Core Routers
• Switches: Catalyst 29650 10/100 Switches

Reliable Hardware

Depending on your needs and contracted SLA, we can provide you a dedicated server, or space on one of our shared servers. We utilize Dell PowerEdge rack mount servers (below) with redundant disk arrays (RAID) or in single-drive configurations with hot server failover.

Relentless Upgrades & Testing

As part of the ISO 9001:2000 quality control processes, data center staff (pictured at right) do routine maintenance.

A proactive approach to network maintenance.

• Daily data center walkthrough
• Weekly power audit / generator test
• Quarterly power audit
• Quarterly HVAC audit
• Annual UPS maintenance

Not surprisingly, such a proactive approach leads to problem discovery and resolution BEFORE issues catch technicians in the middle of the night.
