The Data Center housing your data is SAS70 certified and constructed on top of a 3½-foot thick reinforced matte footing which is bolted to nine separate base isolations units. Each base isolator is made of alternating layers of rubber and Teflon and the Data Center itself rests directly on top of the base isolators. These "shock absorbers" are designed to absorb the shaking of the ground during an earthquake and transform the shaking into a gentle roll, thus keeping racks from tipping over and hard drives from jumping.

A fire suppression system that is people safe, protects property and equipment, and is completely environmental-friendly. This is accomplished by using INERGEN® agent. INERGEN® agent is non-toxic and removes enough oxygen from the air to extinguish the fire yet people are still able to breathe comfortably.

Electrical power comes into the Data Center through the local power grid and is backed up by a battery supply capable of powering the building for approximately 15 minutes. This exceeds the 90 seconds needed for the 750-kilovolt Caterpillar generators to come online. An underground diesel fuel tank is located on the premises with enough fuel to run the data center at full power for three to five days.

Our Data Center also has rooftop grounding rods for resistance to lighting strikes.
