Features
The Network Tier-1 Premium Bandwidth Providers:
Providing the highest quality Internet connectivity and performance is our top priority. Fitting with this we have exclusively selected premium Tier-1 bandwidth providers, ensuring minimal latency and excellent reach ability on a global basis.

We feature direct connectivity with MCI/UUnet, Savvis/Cable & Wireless, and NTT/Verio. Our aggregate connectivity reaches an astounding 3,500+ networks just a single network away from our uplinks.

SBC Diverse Path OC-48 Fiber:
Fiber connectivity to our facility is supplied by an SBC OC-48 diverse path fiber optic sonet ring. Featuring level 7 path diversity our sonet ring has multiple entry points into our facility as well as connectivity directly to multiple carrier offices. There is no shared physical path at any point in the entire sonet loop.

This design allows for uninterrupted service even in the event of a fiber cut, or other direct CO equipment failure. Our optical equipment is capable of supporting multiple OC-192 connections.

Cisco GSR 12000 Border Routers
Our network connectivity begins at our border layer which connects directly to our Tier 1 service providers as well as our network core. Our reliance on multiple devices each with internally redundant systems ensures the highest levels of reliability.

Each Cisco GSR is capable of independently routing 60 gigabits of data at wire rate while isolating any fault risk to each independent line card. Connections to the core are derived independently enabling yet another layer of redundancy and performance load balancing.

Cisco 6509 Sup720 Core Network
Cisco Sup720 Core
Our fully redundant network core handles bandwidth aggregation and routing for the entire network. Each Cisco 6509 Sup720 is capable of routing up to 400 million packets per second with a total capacity of 720 gigabits per second each.

This layer is fully redundant with each unit possessing the ability to route the entire core in the event of a device hardware or software failure. Core failure recovery is a nearly instantaneous process and is fully automated by the self-healing core elements.

Cisco 3550 Distribution Switches
Distribution To Servers
Final layer3 distribution to rack switches as well as VLAN segmentation is handled by Cisco Catalyst 3550 distribution switches. Each switch is capable of handling simultaneous wire rate data traffic for every port configured ensuring optimal performance and eliminating blocking potential to the core or individual rack switch.

At the rack layer we utilize Hewlett-Packard Procurve switches to follow and further enforce VLAN segmentation protocols from the distribution layer as well as offer final customer network access.

Datacenter Power Systems Overview
Powerware 9315 UPS
Our power systems feature extensive fault tolerance and resilience at every layer. Incoming service is routed underground to a dedicated on-site transformer. This system routes to our transfer switch junction which also connects to our power generation facilities.

Our primary UPS is a 300kva Powerware 9315 featuring redundant battery cabinets and a full maintenance bypass allowing for service and upgrades without interruption of power to our servers.

Liebert Precision power distribution units handle final power transformation and distribution to racks.

Cummins Generator
Generator backup services are provided to our facility by a Cummins 313kVa Diesel Generator featuring over 24 hours of autonomous runtime before requiring refueling.

Generator power is activated automatically in the event of a grid failure by the transfer switch. The intermediate load is capable of being handled for over an hour by the UPS, however this is not necessary as the generator is active and up to speed within 16 seconds of a power failure.
