Can You Prove Me With Some Network And Datacenter Information Please?
Environment Precision-controlled air conditioning systems protect and cool mission-critical servers and equipment in the Network Operations Center. The facility is controlled by Yorkª quad-compresser / dual-blower redundant systems. These systems provide a virtually dust-free and particle-free computing environment, with temperature, humidity, and air-quality regulation.

Security Restricted access to the Network Operations Center is monitored by qualified personnel 24 hours a day, every day. Visitors and clientele are only allowed on-site if escorted by Network Operations Center staff. The entire Network Operations Center is monitored, ensuring prompt response and thorough coverage to fire or security alarms. We supply all our Network Operations Center customers with advanced firewall, encryption, intrusion detection and other security measures. BurstNETª maintains a full digital video surveillance system of the Network Operations Center, with full on-site and off-site recording.

Failsafe Power Supply Our Network Operations Center currently has 800amps 480V (3200amps 110V) 3-Phase power currently available from PP&Lª (Pennsylvania Power & Electric). The facility is backed up and protected by UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems on each individual rack, as well as a facility-wide APC Silcomª (http://www.apc.com) 500KVA Enterprise UPS. In a very rare case of utility outage, our Cumminsª 250KW deisel generator starts automatically, taking over for the UPS systems and supplying all necessary power for the facility. The generator interfaces to the power grid thru a Cutler-Hammerª automatic transfer panel. The generator is powered by a 500 gallon fuel tank, capable of running without refueling for approximately 80 hours.

Backup Systems BurstNETª automatically provides backup data services to all shared hosting solutions clientele. Services are also optionally available to all dedicated and co-location clientele. BurstNETª utilizes backup hard drives on each individual server to store backups. Linux systems store zipped copies of server system files and client data files, for simple server rebuilding. Windowsª NT/2000 servers store full image backups (identical copy of operating system and data at time of backup), for full system restoration. Off-server and off-site backup services are available as well.

Connectivity The network is connected via OC-Level fiber connections to Verizonª (Formerly Bell Atlantic PA) & Cambrianª, as well as gigabit fiber from PPL Telcomª, (a sub-division of Pennsylvania Power & Electricª - PPLª) and Commonwealth Telephoneª (CTSIª), NorthEast PA's 2nd largest Telco. The network currently connects BurstNET POPs (Points of Presence) in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Philadelphia, & New York City, with others to be completed shortly. BurstNETª utilizes 100MBPS Gigabit Fiber from Global Crossing (http://www.glbx.com), and 100MBPS Metro Fast Ethernet drops from Level3ª (http://www.level3.com), Verioª (http://www.verio.com), XOª Communications (http://www.xo.com), MFNª/AboveNETª (http://www.mfn.com) (3rd QTR), & Cogentª (http://www.cogentco.com). For redundancy, BurstNETª is currently running BGP4 (border gateway routing protocol) to maintain the speed and uptime. If one backbone line goes down, it will balance the load to the other(s). If one line gets congested, it will load balance the traffic. BurstNETª is currently negotiating with major backbone providers to open POPs in the BurstNETª Scranton PA facility. BurstNETª is currently the only major data center/co-lo facility within 60-75 miles of the Tier-3 Scranton/Wilkes-Barre PA USA Metro Area.
