Located in the heart of
downtown Orlando, our data center has had many advantages
available but it was all hard work to get started. In the end,
there is nothing like being able to say that we own all of our
own equipment. Our 100% Cisco and Linux powered network was
built and is maintained by our technicians. When a problem
arises, our tech's are the ones to respond.
75% of web hosting companies do
not have their own Data Center and have no access to their
servers without the assistance of a 3rd party. If an issue ever
arises, we can physically go to the server within 10 minutes and
address the issue without relying on someone else. That is
priceless and peace of mind for you, the client.
Security.
Access to the data center floors is restricted to those holding
military grade pass cards. Furthermore, complete access to our
floor is only permitted by allowance from the security guards at
the front desk, around the clock. You can be safe in the
knowledge that only a handful of highly trained, level-three
technicians will be allowed within close physical proximity to
your server.
Equipment.
All of our routers and switches are made by Cisco. Cisco is a
tried and true manufacturer and we use nothing but the best, so
Cisco is our only choice for all network hardware. We have made
major and wise investments with them because we feel that using
industry leading equipment that has a proven track record is the
best choice, and is well worth the extra expense.
Connectivity.
Our connections are the best connections, ran straight into our
data center and your servers are the first to get zapped with
these unrestrained highways. We do not use 1 carrier nor do we
use cheap cogent bandwidth. We are connected to TIER 1
providers!
Our main lines are,
AT&T DS-3, UUNET OC-12, , and TimeWarner OC-48
Our bandwidth power is limitless for your account ...only
according to your plan. ;)
Power.
The power systems in our data center are designed to run
uninterrupted even in the unlikely event of a total power
outage. All servers are fed with conditioned UPS
(Uninterruptible Power Supply) power that will run if utility
power fails. The UPS power subsystem is "N+1" redundant with
instantaneous fail over in case the primary UPS fails.

Environment.
Our data center's HVAC (Heating and Ventilation Air
Conditioning) system is "N+1" redundant to ensure that - even in
the event of an entire HVAC system failure - there is a
duplicate system on standby to take over. An advanced
fire-suppression system is in place to prevent any fire from
spreading - in the unlikely event that one could start. All
cables to servers and routing equipment are securely tied down,
and cable racks suspended from the ceiling provide dual routes
for all cables. This is so in the event that all cables on a
cable rack are cut or burned, packets of data will automatically
be routed to a second set of cables on the other side of the
data center.
Climate
control.
We have 4 Data Aire air conditioning units that provide
optimal conditions for equipment operations. Climate control
means that the air conditioning units monitor the temperature
outside of the building and compare it to the temperature inside
of the building. Of course, it is much more complicated than
that description. Basically the important factors are that the
temperature is maintained at a balance of the two, and also the
humidity, airflow, and cleanliness of the air is monitored.

air is inside of our data center. This is why our servers run so
smooth and fast.
Expertise.
We invest a significant amount of time and money into our staff
to make sure that they are knowledgeable and are capable of
helping and handling our customers with patience and care. They
also invest a great amount of time and care into us, knowing
that they are working with a company that places people first
and affordable pricing to get their dreams online. A company is
only as good as the people who manage it. A network is only as
good as the people who manage it. It all takes teamwork, and
expertise.
Monitoring.
That talented staff we speak of works around the clock to ensure
that our network is operating at the most optimum state. We
continually review our collected statistics and with very
precise care and attention. We closely watch for traffic trends
so that we can react with the proper routing adjustments and
bandwidth additions. We choose to have a monitoring system
projected on an entire wall and viewable at all times by anyone
who walks into our offices.
