Data Center |
| The Servers are operated
in a state of the art data center located in Dallas, Texas
which offers complete redundancy in power, HVAC, fire
suppression, network connectivity, and security. The datacenter
facility sits atop multiple power grids driven by TXU
Electric, with PowerWare UPS battery backup power and
dual diesel generators onsite. The HVAC systems are condenser
units by Data Aire to provide redundancy in cooling, coupled
with 10 managed backbone providers. Twelve more third
party backbone providers are available in the building
via cross connect. Fire suppression includes a pre-action
dry pipe system including VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection
Apparatus) with over 500 smoke detectors. |

The network architecture
utilizes the Enterprise routing and switching engines
from Juniper and Cisco. The datacenter utilizes Juniper
M20 routers as border routers, Cisco 6500 series switches
in our distribution and aggregation layers, and Cisco
3500 and 2900 series switches at the customer layer. Our
network is fully meshed and redundant, with 10 backbone
providers. Our current network consists of UUNet (GigE),
Sprint (GigE), Level 3 (GigE), Global Crossing (GigE),
Verio (GigE), AT&T (GigE), Time Warner (GigE), Allegiance
Telecom (2 x GigE), Broadwing (GigE) and AboveNet (2 x
GigE). |
