- Electric Power
The data center utilizes redundant power grids within the city, so the loss of an entire power grid would not disrupt electrical service. Power coming into the center is conditioned and delivered at consistent levels via a UPS system. Our UPS system regulates the flow of electricity, ensuring continuity and consistency. This allows for maximum uptime and enhanced server performance.
- Diesel Generator
Our UPS system is backed up by a diesel generator. The diesel generator is tested for reliability every month and is capable of producing enough power to maintain the data center indefinitely.In the unlikely event of a fire, CFXHosting has an advanced fire system in place to quickly and effectively extinguish the blaze. Multiple FM200 Dry Fire Suppression system tanks are in place within the facility and would immediately extinguish the fire through dry chemicals thus avoiding any disruption of service.
Redundant Liebert heating, ventilation and cooling units maintain the room temperature and humidity inside the data center at ideal conditions. The HVAC ventilation system directs air throughout the facility allowing for maximum air flow.
In addition to monitoring the movement of people throughout the data center, we monitor our equipment at the Network Operations Center (NOC). Our experienced and certified NOC personnel utilize sophisticated tools to monitor network utilization, latency, packet loss, and service availability. Located directly outside the server room and equipped with 15+ system monitors you can be sure that if a situation does arise action is taken immediately so that your service is uninterrupted.
Our building is guarded 24/7 by security personnel. All visitors must register with the security officer on duty who keeps a detailed log of all visitors within the buildings. Activity is monitored and recorded via an advanced security system.
To gain access to our facility, a person must swipe an electromagnetic access card. If a visitor wishes to enter the facility they must be escorted at all times by a member of our staff.
After entering the facility, a person must swipe their electromagnetic access card once again to begin their entrance into the server room. They are trapped in a corridor, with the only way out being to gain access into the server room via a biometric hand scanner.
A biometric hand scanner is located at the entrance of our data center. This device uses infrared light to illuminate and analyze subcutaneous tissue and blood vessel patterns that lie beneath the skin. In addition to the biometric hand scanner a second form of identification is required at this time in the form of a personal password. This password and the scanned patterns of the hand are then matched with information stored in a secure database of previously supplied passwords and images to accurately identify the person seeking access to our data center.
