The data center we use is located in Clifton, New Jersey, and has 55,000 sq ft of pure datacenter floor space, and easy access to all major internet backbone providers in the area. Currently the facility incorporates over 7,500 sq ft of completed raised floor data center space, along with 5000 sq ft of corporate office space which includes a front reception area, conference rooms, and ample space for our employees. The new datacenter has been carefully planned from inception to overcompensate for such factors as cooling, generators, UPS's, secondary generators, fire suppression, and much, much more. Our new facility has been set in place with 7,500 sq ft of raised flooring, 8 (eight) 20 ton AC units and double pre-action fire suppression system. Our backup system is comprised of a Liebert UPS system and a Caterpillar generator with 4 days of standby fuel. Our datacenter is monitored 24/7/265 by an overlapping array of CCTV cameras and datacenter entry is secured by both biometric and card key access.


Our Network
Our network runs on a dark fiber ring connecting our two redundant pops in 111th NYC and 165 Halsey (Equinix) New Jersey. Each fiber leg is capable of handling our entire networks traffic in case of a failure. Each leg can be upgraded to provide transport capacities up to 320Gbps totaling 640Gbps of available transport capacity. Our core consists of Dual Cisco 6509 SUP720 Routers, fully meshed to multiple aggregation switches for maximum uptime. Our multi-homed network is fueled by premium tier 1 carriers Above.net, NLayer (GlobalCrossing), Level3 and NYIIX peering.


Servers
All our servers are built with Intel Processors (Pentium minimum), 3Com/Intel NICs, PC100/133 SDRAM/PC2100 DDR, and ONLY major name brand components. Specifications of a typical server would be as follows:

• Intel Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz processor
• 1 GB RAM memory
• Dual (2) 120 GB hard-drives (one used exclusively for daily backups)
• Linux OS
• CPanel/WHM
• Fantastico
• Shared SSL certificate

All servers run the latest version of the Apache Server software on Linux-based systems. We quite often increase RAM memory to as high as 2 GB, to keep pace with the increasing needs of existing accounts.

We continually manage and optimize our server's resources. For example, if a server should ever get overloaded due to a particular hosting account(s) using up too many resources (very rare, but it can happen), we would move the account(s) in question to another server so the other accounts on the server will not be adversely affected.
