As a high-availability data center committed to 100% uptime, we take into consideration the complex and growing needs of today’s high density computing environments and utilize best-in-breed processes to build, deliver, and maintain next-generation colocation facilities. We work closely with companies of all sizes and across a multitude of industries to provide cost-effective solutions that promote the flexibility, stability and security required to protect mission critical applications. Whether you are in the market for a primary colocation solution, secondary solution or are planning to migrate from your existing data center, Datacenter101 can help.

Cooling
Leading the industry in innovation and energy efficiency, Datacenter101 utilizes high capacity Liebert Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) units. Providing precise, year-round cooling our CRAC units have multiple components of redundancy to include: multi stage un-loaders, compressors, dry coolers and independently operated fans to promote power efficiency. Furthermore, our units are ducted into our engineered hot aisle/cold aisle architecture which strategically balance dense loads and maintains an optimal temperature in the data center.

Monitored
Datacenter101's facility is diligently monitored around-the-clock. Our web portal integrates our entire infrastructure to include: generator, CRAC units, automatic transfer switches, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), smoke and particulate detectors, temperature, humidity, water, and our network core. Real-time monitoring allows us to respond proactively and resolve environmental issues before they impact our customers. Additionally, all CCTV feeds are monitored digitally, recorded and stored.

Maintenance Contracts
Datacenter101 subscribes to preventive maintenance as reflected in our standard operating procedures. All components of the data center are either under warranty and/or maintenance contract to respond efficiently to system irregularities. Additionally, facility status and all upcoming maintenance events are readily accessible on our website and through our secure customer portal.

Air Quality
Datacenter101 is professionally cleaned and maintained by the same company that cleans for Microsoft, Google and DoD as well as other high profile companies. We received an excellent particulate air quality rating by our vendor and is qualified as an ISO clean room.

Two Utilities and Back-Up Generator
As a next-generation data center, Datacenter101's power grid is fully redundant and scalable to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Our grid encompasses two independent utility sources and an onsite backup diesel generator. Each source is dedicated to the data center and sized to carry 100% of the load. Additionally, our fail-over system (make-before-break technology) seamlessly responds to any irregularities in power delivery thereby eliminating the risk of a power outage in the event of an emergency. Our standalone power sources along with our fail-over technology give our customers the peace of mind that we can meet our Service Level Agreement (SLA) of 100% guaranteed uptime.

Separate Power Paths
Datacenter101 reinforces “No single point of failure" through its power distribution. We incorporate a true A and B power system that utilizes two power paths that are entirely separate and diverse. This approach provides our customers with an additional layer of power redundancy.

Conditioned UPS Power
Datacenter101 customers can be assured of superior quality power at our colocation facility. Fully scalable, our state-of-the-art uninterruptible power supply (UPSs) conditions the power and provides battery back-up to ensure a smooth transition from one source to another. Our power  is distributed throughout the facility via “A" Side/"B" Side Eaton/Powerware UPSs and delivered to your servers at a near perfect average power factor of .99.

As a customer of Datacenter101, you can be assured that your IT infrastructure is of paramount importance and is secure 24/7. A multilayered approach to access control begins at the building's perimeter with a gated entrance. Other key components of our security system include: key card access, pin code entry, scramble pad, biometric screening, true mantrap design, and Closed Circuit TV CCTV/DVR monitoring. Our NOC staff monitors access to the facility through a stringent access policy which includes a ticketing system and access logs.

Multiple Tier 1 Providers
Datacenter101's Internet bandwidth and IP services use multiple tier 1 providers including Sprint, Global Crossing, Savvis, Time Warner Cable, Level 3, and TWTelecom. Our state-of-the-art network not only provides customers with reliable connectivity and around-the-clock monitoring, Datacenter101's direct network peering and carrier relationships are second to none, providing your company unsurpassed Internet bandwidth.
