About the data center:
The room itself is comprised of over a foot of brick on all four walls and sits on a thick concrete slab which the racks are secured to. The racks are also secured to the walls using 6″ steel ladder rails that double as cable runways. We have redundant air handlers, a few of the biggest rack mount battery backups available and a natural gas powered auto-transferring generator on the roof. In the event of a power failure, this generator will typically provide us with power within 30 seconds. We are continuously looking for ways to improve reliability of all aspects of our service and welcome customer feedback on the services that we provide.
Access to the data center:
Access is provided to you 24/7/365. You will be provided keys and alarm codes to both the building as well as the server room.
All entries into and out of the building after hours are logged by the alarm company. In addition, we provide server monitoring of your equipment with pager or SMS notification in the event the box is down. We have two technicians that are “on call” at all times after hours. Other clients are strictly prohibited from touching any other servers and only specific employees at Interlink have server-room access. We employ video monitoring and IDS equipment in our facility as well.
About our bandwidth:
Our bandwidth is provided by two OC12 fiber optic connections with a redundant 100Mb wireless connection. We have connectivity from multiple tier one backbone Internet providers and our system seamlessly switches between connections when needed. The Internet connections enter our building through three locations and head off in three separate directions, two below ground and one overhead. This configuration gives us plenty of network reliability.
Technicians on-site:
We have an experienced network/server management team assembled with decades of professional experience. We monitor security based web sites and e-mail lists to keep comprised of the latest in network and server security issues. We take security very seriously and work to keep our machines as secure as we can keep them.
Currently we have 4 full time engineers on staff to facilitate your hands-on requests for any colocated hardware.
