Physical Security
Our facilities are manned with 24/7 security personnel.
Badge/photo ID access screening as well as biometric
access screening are employed for an added level
of security. We have installed a dual door floor
trap design for access to the raised floor area,
and we require escorts to gain access to raised
floor areas. Sensitive security areas within the
center are protected by motion sensors and security
breach alarms, and video cameras installed throughout
the center are continuously monitored by security
personnel.

Network Security
All of our systems are designed to maintain a quality
of service throughout the network by prioritizing
packets to maintain an order of precedence of services.
Each network device is equipped to filter out DOS
attacks. We also offer intelligent, multilayer access
control that can be utilized to protect the network
from the impact of attacks while reducing the risk
of inadvertently discarding legitimate traffic.

Backup Power
Dual power is furnished to each rack unit from independent
power distribution units (PDUs), removing PDU loss
as a single point of failure. To ensure stable connectivity,
we provide a redundant Need+1 (N+1) design of uninterruptible
power supplies utilizing two separate commercial
power feeds from two separate power grids to provide
power to the center. Five redundant standby generators
guarantee consistent operation in the event of a
power failure from commercial power. These generators
are equipped with 72 hours of diesel fuel on site,
and two contractors are on call to refuel to the
storage tanks.

Disaster Control
Our world-class facilities feature seismically braced
racks and are designed to withstand disastrous conditions,
ensuring that your systems and equipment continue
to run even under extreme conditions. A second point
of presence is always available to clients seeking
fail-safe redundancy.

Environmental
Controls
HostW3 has implemented a Need+1 (N+1) design of
cooling towers, water pumps and chillers to maintain
a controlled environment. Conditions are a uniform
72° with 50% relative humidity. Multiple air
handling units provide another level of redundancy
to further ensure consistently sound environmental
conditions.
»
Fire Protection
Fire detection and suppression systems ensure 24/7
operation of your critical systems. Dual fire detection
(photo electronic/ionization and sniffer) systems
are in place to constantly monitor for any potential
areas of concern. A multi-zone pre-action dry pipe
suppression system allows any suppression necessary
to be contained to the affected area; conditions
elsewhere will not be disrupted.
