DATA CENTERS Strategically located in Northern Virginia, Los Angeles, California, and San Antonio, Texas, our data centers are positioned on the East Coast, West Coast and in the Central United States. With multiple locations, we can offer you excellent opportunities for reliable service, minimal latency, disaster recovery, and geographic diversity. Each facility has been engineered from the ground up to provide powerful carrier connections and ensure that we meet our 99.9% uptime guarantee. Locations: East Coast, West Coast, & Central US. NEW! San Antonio, Texas San Antonio is known for the absence of natural disasters and is on the most seismically stable soil in the US. This bigger and better data center is approximately 12,000 square feet of raised floor space with an adjoining 6,000 square feet of office space. It is connected to the world class and ever-expanding Peer1 Network. It is fed by dual OC-48 uplinks to the Peer 1 Network with fully redundant network and power systems. This data center supports over 2,000 servers currently with the capacity for over 7,500. In addition, it will be the location for testing and deployment of new product lines and services. Herndon, Virginia Our South Pointe data center located in northern Virginia. This facility has been built out to meet Peer 1 Network's high standards of redundancy and security. Fed by dual OC-48 uplinks to the Peer 1 network with fully redundant network and power systems, this datacenter is designed to meet the needs of East Coast and European customers. Los Angeles, California Connected to the world-class, high performance PEER 1 Internet network by dual OC-48 uplinks it has fully redundant network connections and power systems. Our West Coast facility boasts a location one block from One Wilshire in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. Data Center Features Regulated Climate Control The data centers' HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) systems are N+1 redundant. With full particle filtering and humidity control, the storage temperatures are maintained at a cool 68 degrees to ensure an ideal performance environment for your server. Power Systems Our datacenters are not reliant upon the local power grid to guarantee maximum uptime. Our on-site, auto-switched power generators and centralized UPS systems provide power conditioning and ensure uninterrupted data center operation. Additionally, the generators are regularly tested to ensure that they will continue to function in the event of an emergency Datacenter Security Our data centers are physically isolated from everyone but level three technicians. Public access is strictly forbidden. Access to the datacenter is restricted and the facility is completely locked down. NETWORK The Peer1 Network is fully redundant, uses redundant fiber entry points and connects only with Tier I upstream providers such as at&t, Savvis, Sprint and MCI. We guarantee 99.9% uptime. Redundant High Bandwidth Connectivity Dual OC-48 uplinks connect us to the world-class Peer 1 network with fully redundant power and network systems. Bandwidth Utilization It is a common misconception that the amounts of bandwidth (size of the pipes that carry the data) differentiate web hosting companies. In reality it is not only the size of the pipes that matters, it is the utilization levels. The utilization of our Internet connections is vital to a network's ability to transfer data without packet loss or latency. We aim to keep all connection usage below 50% to avoid any connectivity problems. Dynamic Routing Our datacenters runs the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP4) for best case routing. The BGP4 protocol is a standard that allows for the routing of packets of information sent out from our network. Each packet of information is evaluated and sent over the best route possible. Because of our redundant network architecture, packets may be sent via alternative routes even if they are being delivered to the same end user. Should one of our providers fail, packets leaving our network are automatically redirected through another route via a different provider. Network Security Our network is a fully switched network. Traffic destined for a website hosted on a server is sent only through switching equipment necessary to deliver the information to that server. This minimizes the risk of someone sniffing or capturing traffic being sent across the network. |
