Superior Performance
Don't take our word for it. Look at what our customers are saying on the front page of this website. Go to our independent uptime monitor and see for yourself how impressive our uptime figures are. Have a look at our server load averages and see how low they are. These are all very positive indicators of servers which are not overcrowded and are well maintained. Try us, you won't be disappointed.
 High Quality Servers
Dual Xeon 2 Quad-Core Servers, 4000mb Server RAM.
Our servers are located just south of downtown Denver in the Denver Technological Centre (DTC).
Data Centre has been designed with uncompromising standards. Located just south of Downtown Denver in the Denver Tech Centre (DTC), our 46,000 square foot facility has over 14,000 square feet of raised flooring and 1,200 square feet of traditional telco style flooring. In addition to the well heeled Data Centre space, our facility also contains our Network Operations Centre (NOC), administrative space and conference rooms.
The Network
Our network has been designed to deliver your data to its destination each and every time it is accessed. It has been engineered to be fully redundant providing a high capacity IP network with quick connections to your equipment.
We use equipment manufactured by industry leader Cisco Systems in a redundant router and switch configuration ensuring that data that enters and leaves our Data Centre through one of our many carriers makes it to its destination.
Carriers
Ensuring that there is always more than one route for your data to leave our Data Centre is our advantage. By having multiple carriers, your data is never stranded on a single network. If there is a situation where one of our carriers experiences an issue that makes their network unavailable, our intelligent routing will reroute your traffic to another carrier link.
Some of the carriers that are in our facility are:
SAVVIS - Two 10 GigE links to their Denver backbone node
Level(3) - Gigabit fiber feed from Level(3)'s Denver backbone point of presence
Internap - Gigabit Ethernet fiber to the Denver PNAP
Qwest
MCI
Time Warner Telecom
XO Communications
ICG

Power
Electrical power to our Data Centre is delivered by redundant feeds from the Xcel Energy Surrey Ridge substation. The electric service in the building is connected to parallel redundant Powerware UPS units, which deliver conditioned power to the data Centre via a Starline Bussway system. This system eliminates the need for traditional power distribution units (PDU's) and enhances the reliability of the system as well as making "A" and "B" power available to every computer equipment cabinet. The power is backed up by two diesel generators connected to separate automatic transfer switches (ATS).
Environmental
We understand that just powering equipment is not enough to meet the needs of today's demanding infrastructure components, the equipment must be kept cool and stable in order to operate properly. Cooling and humidity is controlled by 14 air handling units (AHUs) featuring N+1 and N+2 redundancy (dependant on location within the facility). The AHU's keep the operating environment in the Data Centre at 70 degrees with 45% humidity with variation of no more than +/- 4 degrees of temperature and 4% humidity.
To ensure that optimal cooling and air circulation is available at all times, air flow studies are conducted and an analysis with infrared heat sensing cameras is performed on a regular basis.
 Security
Access to the data Centre is controlled by access card and biometric scanning systems. All data Centre entrants must be authorized by Network Operations Centre (NOC) personnel prior to entry to the facility. For additional security, entrance to all raised-floor and colocation areas requires both a biometric scan and use of the access card.
In addition to human, access card and biometric security, more than 40 high-tech cameras, connected to a closed circuit digital video recording system monitor the data Centre. This system provides NOC staff with the ability to visually monitor all doors to the data Centre and all cabinets within the data Centre. The system detects any movement, triggering one or more of the cameras to capture a digital image of the movement, which is recorded and archived. The images are archived periodically and can be transferred to any digital media on-demand.
Fire Detection and Suppression
Fire detection within the Data Centre is provided by an early detection alarm system monitored both within the Network Operations Centre (NOC) and by Honeywell as a backup, third-party monitoring service. The monitoring system informs the NOC staff of the specific alarm generating the warning and its location. The Data Centre has detectors installed both above, and below, the raised floor.
The fire suppression system is a pre-action, dry pipe which would discharge water only from the appropriate locations when the heat in the Data Centre increases enough to trigger a fire sprinkler head. The discharge of a sprinkler would signal the emergency power-off switch, which would simultaneously turn off the commercial electrical power to the Data Centre and switch to UPS power.
Conclusion
Our goal is to offer web
services for our customers at a competitive price with a cost

for dollar approach.
