General Information on DiscountASP.NET/Everleap U.S. Data Center Facility

Facility

Concrete Tilt-Up Construction
24 inch raised floor
Steel Seismic Bracing added to meet the 1997 Seismic / Earthquake codes (Title 24 Seismic) for Los Angeles area
All racks / cabinets are seismically braced and bolted directly to the concrete flooring
Dimax – Building Management / Alarm Monitoring System
Power and data cables are run perpendicular from each other to minimize any electrical field interaction
Janitorial service is bonded, insured and licensed

Security

7/16 inch thick steel sheeting around the front door and within the front reception area
2 level, man-trap, security access – before actually being able to enter the raised floor area
Two-factor authentication required to access
256+ - fixed positioned, security cameras
Camera footage is recorded and held for 90 days
Level 5 bullet-resistant walls / glass (Kevlar Lined walls) in the front entry, lobby, guard station, and shipping and receiving areas
24 x 7 x 365 on-site security guards
Security service is bonded
No signage on building

Air conditioning

Data Center temperature maintained at 72 degrees +/- 2 degrees
Thermostats / Humidistats are located around the building on the walls, posts and ceilings
16 – 135 Ton air conditioners N+6 – all 16 are running continuously w/redundant capacity
- 6 – 135 Ton air conditioners support redundant capacity
- 2 – 30 ton air-conditioners independently support NOC and NODE
Air handlers are located on the roof (roof access is restricted and monitored)
Supply air temperature entering the IDC averages 55 – 62% varying with load conditions
Ring duct in ceiling allows us to add diffusers (vents) where needed to provide additional air flow
Two 125 Ton A/C Units, and one 70 Ton unit is dedicated to UPS Room

Power

Pager notification service with California Independent System Operator (ISO) to monitor California utility power Stage Alerts and rolling black outs
6 main electrical distribution buses
24 MGE UPS's
10 Caterpillar 2000KW (2.0MW) generators
Each generator has 3,000 gals of diesel fuel – enough to power it for 22 hours at full load
4 – 12,000 gal. Diesel Fuel storage convault tanks (in addition to the primary fuel tanks) provide enough fuel to run generators continuously for 72 hours at full load
UPS batteries support data center load until automatic transfer to generator is completed
50 power management modules (PMM's) with 168 – 20 amp power circuits from each 165KVA power distribution unit (PDU); customized circuits provided as needed
Power is served to the PDUs via 2 separate independent UPS power sources
Each PDU has it's own Automatic Static Transfer Switch which can switch the power to the alternate source within 4 milliseconds
Contracts with local fuel companies to provide additional on-site fuel, once generators are started

Fire suppression

VESDA – Very Early Smoke Detection and Alarm system; small white 'air sampling tubes' draw air into chambers, where lasers analyze the air for smoke content
Clean-Gas hand-held fire extinguishers are through-out the building
Fire station located approximate 600 feet from the data center
Heat (140 degree) and smoke detectors are located on the ceilings around the building
