Our network is among the best-connected hosting facilities in the world. The data centers are implemented through a high-speed network specifically designed for dedicated server hosting. We have invested in both network equipment and backbone connections to ensure that customers get the fastest access possible to their content and applications.
The network facilities have multiple network connections to different Internet backbones, allowing data to be distributed though many sources - meaning that the facility is not dependent upon any single Internet backbone. |

Facilities
The data center that houses our servers is located in Dallas, Texas. The facility offers complete redundancy in power,  HVAC, fire suppression, network connectivity, and security. With over 35,000 sq ft of raised floor and 15,000 sq ft of static free tile, it has an offering to fit any need. The facility sits atop multiple power grids driven by TXU electric, and has multiple Liebert and PowerWare UPS battery backup power, and it has onsite permanent generator power. Our HVAC systems are a combination of glycol, chilled water, and condenser units by Liebert and Data Aire to provide redundancy in cooling coupled with 6 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 in both facilities including VESDA (very early smoke detection apparatus) along with over 600 smoke  detectors. Security is also a concern for us and our customers so all facilities are key card access with CCTV for maximum security. All visitors to the datacenters must check in and out of the facility. The goal is to provide maximum redundancy in every facet of the datacenter environment to facilitate 100% uptime for your entire hosting infrastructure.
