PA Network and Data Center Information
Data Center11,000 square foot Data Center facility contains everything needed to ensure your mission-critical Internet operation is running at the highest perfomance levels. A full list of features/services in usage in the Network Operations Center is found below.
Precision-controlled raised floor air conditioning systems protect and cool mission-critical servers and equipment in the Network Operations Center. The facility is controlled by dual 30-Ton APCT/AirflowT, & dual 30-Ton LiebertT, dual-compresser redundant systems. These systems provide a virtually dust-free and particle-free computing environment, with temperature, humidity, and air-quality regulation.
Our Network Operations Center currently has 800amps 480V & 600amps 208V 3-Phase power currently available from PP< (Pennsylvania Power & Electric). The facility is currently backed up and protected by 225KVA and 160KVA PowerwareT 9315 facility-wide UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems, which feed PDIT, MGET, & LiebertT PDU (Power Distribution Unit) systems. In a very rare case of utility outage, our CumminsT 250KW & Detroit DieselT 580KW deisel generators start automatically, taking over for the UPS systems and supplying all necessary power for the facility. The generators interface to the power grids thru AscoT 7000 & RussElectricT RTBD automatic transfer panels. The generators are powered by a 500 gallon fuel tank, capable of running without refueling for approximately 80 hours.
Connectivity The network is connected via Gigabit Ethernet handoff(s) (1000mbps) on redundant/dual-path OC48 (2048mbps) DWDM fiber-optic transport connections to Commonwealth TelephoneT (CTSIT), a division of Frontier CommunicationsT, NorthEast PA's 2nd largest Telco. VerizonT (Formerly Bell Atlantic PA) and PPL TelcomT, (a sub-division of Pennsylvania Power & ElectricT - PPLT) fiber is also available in the facility. The network currently connects BurstNET POPs (Points of Presence) in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, & Philadelphia, with others to be completed shortly. BurstNETT transit is provided via Gigabit Ethernet (1000mbps) from Yipes!T/Level3T (http://www.yipes.com), CogentT Communications (http://www.cogentco.com), Global CrossingT (http://www.gblx.com), & BTNT/PCCWT (http://www.btnaccess.com). For redundancy, BurstNETT 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. BurstNETT is currently negotiating with major backbone providers to open POPs in the BurstNETT Scranton PA facility. BurstNETT 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.
24x7x365 Monitoring The Network Operations Center uses industry-standard SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and provides round-the-clock monitoring of all hardware, including routers, switches, UPS systems, and servers. The Network Operations Center also monitors power, environmental factors (such as temperature and humidity), generator status, and network connectivity. All critical services/ports can be monitored, including FTP, HTTP, SMTP, HTTPS, SSH, TELNET, and POP3. We provide network monitoring of the Local Area Network, Internet connectivity (all routers, switches, and wiring), and the Internet backbone via MRTG. Our close and constant communication with our upstream backbone providers ensures that our customers have constant access to high-performance Internet connections. Failure on any monitoring service results in audible alarms, LAN messages, and alerting our staff paging system. BurstNETT offers remote cold boot hardware for dedicated server and co-location clients, with private, password protected, web based access.
Tukwila, Washington or East Coast Network Operations Center in Mclean, Virginia
West Coast Network Operations Center (SEA2) in Tukwila, Washington or East Coast Network Operations Center (DCA2) in Mclean, Virginia, USA. Fully redundant core network and backbone connectivity is unsurpassed in its efficiency and performance. With 2 data centers and 6 POPs (Points of Presence) located in five different states on both coasts and in the central US, our network offers extremely low latency, no packet loss, and direct connectivity to all major global tier 1 backbones. This design ensures a superior network infrastructure with an unmatched quality of service.
East Coast (DCA2) Tier 3 Data Center & Network Operations in McLean, Virginia is an essential part of our core network. The DCA2 NOC is equipped with heavy-duty UPS (uninterrupted power), diesel generator, and AC systems and staffed by highly experienced Systems & Network Administrators 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
West Coast (SEA2) Tier 4 Data Center & Network Operations in Seattle, WA is staffed by highly experienced Systems & Network Admins 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and features 3 parallel UPS systems, a 1.5MW diesel generator, and 100s of tons of AC capacity.
Physical Network Infrastructure Looking Glass Networks, now known as Level 3, one of the most financially healthy fibre carriers, provides our private fibre-optics through multiple OC-192 SONET rings throughout northern Virginia and DC. The OC-192 SONET rings consist of two redundant OC-192s traversing two separate paths and having two diverse routes to our facilities, thus providing the ultimate in reliability and performance. Even if both of the lines are cut at any point, the OC-192 ring is still operational, with less than 50 ms (0.05 second) self-healing restoration time. The multiple private SONET rings provide us the ultimate in reliability: no downtime even in the case of a major fibre cut in the area (due to separate paths and multiple fibres).
North East DC - A number of other fibre carriers are on site, too: AboveNet (MFN), Verizon, and MCI/Verizon Business just to name a few. Furthermore, we do not only connect within Virginia. The DCA2 site has lines run within northern Virginia, DC and New York. The directly-connected IAD1, NYC1 & NYC2 sites further augment that by additional Virginia, DC, New York, Illinois, California and Washington state based connectivity. Due to this fully redundant physical connectivity -- lines traversing from us in all directions -- ensures that we will remain up and running even in case of a major disaster in the area.
West Coast Seatle - A number of fibre carriers are on site, too: ELI, OnFiber, AboveNet (MFN) and Level 3 just to name a few, and more are nearby. Furthermore, we do not only connect within the Seattle metro area. The Seattle portion of our network is fully tied in with our national coast-to-coast IP backbone, and connects to Palo Alto, CA (PAO1) and Ashburn, VA (IAD1) directly via our Seattle, WA site (SEA1).
We ensure uptime and security by managing and maintaing your network to protect you from intrusion and loss of business. See our managed services and firewall options for total security. Idatashop's own backbone is a worldwide Tier 1 International Fully Redundant OC192 Backbone.
