Data Center Specifications |
|
The STOREFolder servers are located in a secure enterprise-grade datacenter located in Atlanta, GA. This facility has 99.999% reliability and features the following:
Security
- State of the art data center ID system and security including video surveillance and recording.
- All entrances to the data center have biometric scanning in combination with card key to prevent unauthorized access.
- 10 foot razor fence and armed security guards 24/7/365.
Power
- 4 Main, State of the art, UPS Systems
- 3 Generators with in- ground 5000 gallon fuel tanks to ensure power if there is an outage. Each is rated 1.5 megawatt and 800 KVA.
- A connection to the most reliable power grid in the state of Georgia through quad vaults on 4 feeds. This grid protects the main hospital in Atlanta so it is on a last outage program for critical services and was extensively upgraded for the Olympics. For the last 5 years the generators have only been used for testing.
Environmental Controls
- Eight 22-ton Redundant Liebert Air systems providing consistent temperature and humidity range in the datacenter.
- Continual environmental monitoring in each cabinet and through the data center, with threshold alarms providing early warning of anomalous conditions.
Network
- Redundant Cisco BGP routing and switching infrastructure with cold spares on site. If equipment failure occurs, there is no interruption of service.
- 10 Gig Metro Ethernet ring for the core routing. Dual feeds of all aggregation routers ensure 100% uptime - some of the best in the business.
- Avaya ANS BGP management system optimizing the routes on the 6 gig network in real time, 7000 times per minute based upon trace route performance, to ensure that our servers have the highest performance routing.
- State of the art monitoring system for all devices with instant failure notification.
- 6 backbone providers who are publicly peered with 12 providers including Earthlink. Our current network consists of Gigabit links to Abovenet, XO, PCC-BTN, SAVVIS, Telia, Level 3 and the Atlanta Internet Exchange public peering point. The Network depends on a few large pipes from quality providers to handle spikes in traffic and the occasional Denial of Service attack as well as unknown traffic patterns in the case of a primary link failure. The network minimum Internet backbone connection is a 1 Gig pipe.
