Disaster Prevention & Protection

• Smoke and fire suppression starts with our early warning smoke detection system using ion and laser-based detection units.
• In the unlikely event of a fire, we have a dual-interlock, pre-action, dry-pipe sprinkler system. Additionally our 24/7 staff is trained to use Halotron clean agent fire extinguishers.

• Interiors and exteriors are vigilantly monitored by our 24/7/365 staff via our closed-circuit video surveillance system, covered with over 24 cameras feeding a time-lapse digital video recorder (DVR) with 90 days retention.
• Access to our data centers is tightly controlled by various protocols including proximity keycards, and a man-trap with a guard shack requiring valid picture identification. Additionally, visitors and/or vendors must have registered and verified an access ticket prior to their arrival, and will be escorted to their servers once they get there.
• Our data center floors are located in a building-within-a-building, completely isolated from exterior access.

• Our core network is Cisco-powered.
• We have diverse fiber entry points from 6 different vendors:
AT&T TimeWarner Qwest Sprint Telecove Unite
