Features:

Redundancy and Hot-Swappable Network Infrastructure

We use multiple upstream providers so that if one provider experiences problems, your traffic will be automatically re-routed to another provider to avoid downtime. Our internal network is built on a multi-tier model with built-in redundancy.

Network built on multi-tier model:

Layer 1: Core Layer – Cisco 6500 fail-over & hot swappable

Layer 2: Aggregation/Distribution Layer Cisco 6500 fail-over & hot swappable

Layer 3: Access Layer Cisco 3550 fail-over.

Dedicated Power Grid <Picture>

Our facility has its utility dedicated power grid, segregated from the rest of the business park. Other tenants use or mis-use of power at our business park will have no effect on the power supplied to our datacenter.

UPS & Generator Power Backup <Picture>

We have an UPS a Diesel Power Generator on site with automatic fail-over. The units are routinely tested every quarter. Our core business as a business ISP relies greatly on reliability, so you can be sure we invest a lot in core redundancies.

Powerful Cooling System <Picture>

Cooling is important to our colocation customers, and that’s why we have invested on a powerful cooling system with capacity that exceeds the size of our datacenter. Our HVAC system keeps the datacenter running at an optimal temperature at all times – even during maintenance periods. It is currently running at only 20% of capacity.

Fire Suppression System <Picture>

Our foam fire suppression system is automatic and instantaneous. It leaves no residue and will not harm the servers and equipment in our datacenter.

Security Cameras and Access Controlled Environment

Our video surveillance system allows for both local and remote monitoring and recording using the latest digital video security technology. Every camera is recorded 24/7 and archiving is immediate. Furthermore, access to our datacenter is escorted and logged through the Card Key Entrance.

24×7 Network Operations Center

All critical and non-critical facility and network equipment and systems are monitored 24/7 by our network operations staff.

And best of all, because we are located just 15 minutes from downtown Vancouver, our colocation rates are very affordable compared to our downtown competitors. Expect to save around 35% off your base costs.
