Data Center
VirtuaWeb servers are located in a data center
that has been engineered to avoid any single point of failure in connectivity,
power, or HVAC. And because the data center is not open to the public, you can
rest assured that only a handful of highly trained, level-three technicians will
be allowed within close physical proximity to our servers.
Physical
Security
The data center is physically isolated from
everyone but level three technicians. Public access is strictly
forbidden. Access to the data center floors is restricted to those
holding military-grade pass cards. Furthermore, access to
the data center is restricted by Biometric hand scanners.
Conditioned
Power
Power systems in the data center is
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. In the event of an extended
power outage, an on-site diesel generator can run indefinitely. The
generator is regularly tested to ensure that it will continue to
function in the event of an emergency.
A
Precision Environment
The data center is meticulously tidy.
All air is circulated and filtered every 90 seconds to remove dust and
contaminants. The data center's HVAC (Heating 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. 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.
