ok thank you for helping me find the 'right' host for my needs. It is appreciated very much, as I do not want to have to switch from the host I decide on for some time.
I will find out the answers to those questions about the server. Meanwhile I have given you a few more details about the datacenter where the server is located in:
The Enterprise Data Center has been the premier center of Excellence for IT Outsourcing and e-Commerce in Southern California. The center was built with the specific intention of it being a high performance state-of-the-art Collocation facility, not a retrofitted facility to be a data center like most of our competitors.
The Data center provides facilities and solutions to federal, state, local, and commercial customers throughout the United States numbering in the thousands.
The Data Center offers the optimal environment for e-business, securely housing day-to-day business for companies that don't want to worry about IT infrastructure.
Overview
- Constructed in 1992 with the most advanced technology available
- Encompasses 65,000 sq. ft
- Raised floor design with cable management system
- Designed with safety, security, fire resistance, and weather protection in mind
- Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year
- Interior and exterior continuously monitored and videotaped
- Equipped with air filtration and cooling systems, backup power and utilities
- Fire protection, earthquake preparedness, and physical security
- Space configurations specific for all customer needs.
Network Connectivity and Design
- Fully redundant and meshed backbone
- Carrier class telco and data equipment
- Dual path OC-48 connections
- Dual sonet backbone
- ATM network for voice data, video
- Dark fiber aggregation facility
- Carrier neutral location
- Back-up wireless and microwave
- SL 100 Nortel switch.
Network Monitoring & Support
- On-Site 24x7x365 dedicated support staff
- Network Operations Center (NOC) monitors network, power, environment, and facility
- Aprisma Spectrum network software (fault isolation)
- Remedy trouble ticket tracking
- Tier 1 event-tracking logs
- Regularly scheduled testing of all back-up systems.
Server Hosting
- Web hosting / content design
- E-commerce hosting
- Application hosting.
Managed Services
- Professional services
- Network management
- Data security and back-up.
Battery Backup
- Prevent lapse between street power and equipment
- Over 480 batteries implemented as backup
- Keep facility running until power is restored or main generator is started.
Generator
- Designed to handle state & local government in catastrophic event
- 1750-kilovolt Caterpillar generator
- Receives a direct 22,000-volt power feed to its three square D transformers
- 12,500 gallons of diesel fuel are on reserve to feed the generator
- 2 Liebert 750 KVA UPS units, N +1 inline redundant hardware component
- Site Scan system updates NOC on status of power, air handlers, and UPS
- N + 2 system design
- Enough power to conduct business as usual for one week
- Housed directly across from an Edison power plant
- Ran for six hours independent of outside resources after the Landers earthquake.
Earthquake Preparedness
- Flexible architecture
- Capable of withstanding earthquakes measuring magnitude 8.0
- "Erector Set" type of design allows building to flow with earth's movements
- Plumbing is spring mounted to ensures that all parts move accordingly
- Emergency food and water supplies for personnel.
- Directly connected to County of Orange fire and police departments
- All personnel trained on strict emergency procedures
- Equipped with halon detectors, activation switches, fire extinguishers and dry pipe sprinklers
- Fire alarm annunciator map detects exact location of smoke or fire.
Physical Security
- Surveillance cameras patrol exterior and interior perimeters
- Exterior microwaves identify movement and deter potential vandalism
- Entries and exits require personnel and badge identification
- Over 30 cameras secure interior
- Camera locations are never disclosed to personnel or visitors
- Activity is monitored from room to room
- Closely guarded by County of Orange sheriff department
- Prepared for bomb threats, civil disturbances, earthquakes, fires, and natural disasters.
Air Filtration System
- Optimum operating environment while maintaining energy efficiency
- Protected from the elements
- N +2 inline redundant hardware component
- Server rooms contain air filtration, cooling, and humidification systems including:
- Miller-Picking Corporation air filtration system
- Trane Chillers cooling system
- Halon fire protection system
- MEE humidification system
- Humidity constantly monitored and controlled to 45 percent (+/- 5 percent)
- Center ambient temperature constantly controlled to 70 degrees (+/- 5 )
- Trac-Tek system monitoring for leaks and/or condensation
