HOME INFORMATION DATA CENTER OVERVIEW
Print this page
Located in downtown Tampa Florida, our building is considered one of the best carrier hotels in the south-east.

As a carrier hotel used by many well known regional, national and international bandwidth carriers, we are able to avoid local network loops and take direct tier one carrier routes to the Internet, ensuring that we can deliver your data at blistering speeds.

Featuring environmental control, 24/7 security, high capacity power supplies, in-house support and more, we provide the perfect home for your web site.

Network & Connectivity
Not that we like to boast, but to put it simply, our network has enjoyed what can only be classified as a superb uptime record. The network is switched using only high quality Cisco and Foundry routers and switches, utilizing the Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 (BGP4). This advanced routing ensures that bandwidth can be channelled through the best available carrier giving you seamless connectivity at the same time. We have secured fully burstable connections to the Internet with leading Tier1 carriers Level 3, MCI, Progress Telecom and WV Fiber, and our connectivity totals over 8.5 GBPS, providing an extremely fast connection speed wherever you are in the world.

Power

The facility is powered directly by Tampa Electric Co. but in addition to grid power, surge provisions are also in place with MGE uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS) and for total blackouts with a Generac Series 2000 backup generator which can independently maintain power for an extended outage. On the rack level, we utilise APC power distribution units to ensure power is distributed appropriately to all servers and networking equipment.

Environment

The high performance, sensitive electronic equipment we use to power our web hosting service requires a precise, reliable control of room temperature, especially with the often humid Floridian weather. Precision raised flooring air conditioning is powered by 40 ton Liebert Deluxe System 3 compressors to ensure that our server room maintains optimal temperature, humidity and air-quality levels.



Equipment

Our layer 2 networking and server equipment are stored in secure lockable cabinets which ventilate conditioned air throughout. To learn more about our server hardware, click here.


Monitoring & Support

In-house technicians are available 24/7/365 ensuring that the network operates optimally at all times, and any hardware repairs can be conducted at any time. Individual servers and services are monitored every minute of every day from three global locations, ensuring that we are apprised of any unusual activity at all times.

Security
Entry to the building and server rooms is controlled by electronic access cards and identity-by-photo verification. The entire building is monitored by CCTV video camera surveillance at all times.

Fire Suppression
Our server room features chemical fire suppression systems to prevent spreading in the unlikely event of a fire.
