Datacenter Network
The datacenter is connected to the Internet with a highly redundant network through multiple Gigabit backbones, and is peered with other networks.
Security
The datacenter is located inside its own secure compound, with 2.4 and 3 meter fencing and electric gates, all closely monitored round the clock with CCTV. Strict access controls are in place, including surveillance cameras, finger print scanning, and a Keycard recognition system.
Electrical Capacity
The datacenter has even power distribution (60 - 80 watts per sq. ft). Each cabinet 4' x 6' is provided with 110 volts, and a 20 amp circuit. The main power supply totals 480 volts.
Power
In the unlikely event of a power outage from the local power grid, all data centers' power systems are designed to run uninterrupted with the help of two auto-switched power generators and centralized UPS systems with a capacity of 2 megawatts. The generators are regularly tested, and can be used even in the event of emergency extended power outages.
Precision Environment
Stringent environmental controls are in place at the data center, including a Computerised, fully master-planned rise system, a HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) pipe system and Electrical monitoring. HVAC systems are N+1 redundant, ensuring that a duplicate system can immediately come online in the event of an HVAC system failure.
Fire Protection System
The datacenter is equipped with industrial oxygen dispensers in the case of a fire outbreak. These systems are designed to combat fire without damaging the computer equipment situated within the datacenter.
