Our Virtual
Datacenter Details
Our Virtual Datacenter consists of
servers distributed across various Datacenters worldwide. Most of
these datacenters have certain common qualifications described below.
Network
The datacenters are connected to the internet through Gigabit
Ethernet connections from separate backbone providers, who each run
fiber optic cables into the datacenter through separate entry points.
Security
To guard against line failure or intrusion, the data center is
staffed 24 hours a day. Movement throughout the facility is escorted
at all times. There is 24x7 closed circuit monitoring of all areas
and entrances. Between the cameras, access control, and the security
team, the datacenter facilities are pretty secure.
Power
The total incoming power is a multiple of what is required to run
the datacenter. There is an ATS (Automatic Transfer switch) in place
to automatically kick in a generator in case of a power failure. The
datacenters are also equipped with redundant UPS systems to ensure
clean power.
Cooling
Redundant A/C systems, each running at a fraction of their capacity,
keep the server rooms cool. The units are alternated so that each
one is kept in optimal condition.
Advanced
Smoke Detection & Fire Protection Systems
The datacenters are equipped with specialized fire detection and
protection systems meant specifically for protecting servers as
using ordinary water based systems would cause just as much damage
as fire.
