hostingataplus has coordinated and collaborated with industry leaders such as Dell Computer and Time Warner Telecom in the creation of a phenomenally efficient network infrastructure. Scalable PowerEdge servers enveloped in the OC-48 Tier 1 power of a nationwide backbone offer the guaranteed assurance required of a secure, reliable and stable solution.

Equipment.
All of our routers and switches are made by Cisco. Cisco is a tried and true manufacturer and we use nothing but the best, so Cisco is our only choice for all network hardware. We have made major and wise investments with them because we feel that using industry leading equipment that has a proven track record is the best choice, and is well worth the extra expense. SCSI RAID 5 storage arrays and redundant power supplies within each PowerEdge 2650 ensure exceptional levels of redundancy for all current and future clientele.

Connectivity.
Our connections are the best connections, ran straight into our data center and your servers are the first to get zapped with these unrestrained highways. We are located in a multi-homed connection. We do not use 1 carrier nor do we use cheap cogent bandwidth. We are connected to TIER 1 providers! Our main lines are, Level3 gigE , UUNET OC-12, and TimeWarner OC-48 Our bandwidth power is limitless for your account ... limited only according to the hostingataplus plan you have chosen, with us.

Power.
The power systems in our data center are designed to run uninterrupted even in the unlikely event of a total power outage. All servers are fed with conditioned UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) power that will run if utility power fails. The UPS power subsystem is "N+1" redundant with instantaneous fail over in case the primary UPS fails.

Environment.
Our data center's HVAC (Heating and Ventilation Air Conditioning) system is "N+1" redundant to ensure that - even in the event of an entire HVAC system failure - there is a duplicate system on standby to take over. An advanced fire-suppression system is in place to prevent any fire from spreading - in the unlikely event that one could start. All cables to servers and routing equipment are securely tied down, and cable racks suspended from the ceiling provide dual routes for all cables.This is so in the event that all cables on a cable rack are cut or burned, packets of data will automatically be routed to a second set of cables on the other side of the data center.

Climate control.
We have 4 Data Aire air conditioning units that provide optimal conditions for equipment operations. Climate control means that the air conditioning units monitor the temperature outside of the building and compare it to the temperature inside of the building. Of course, it is much more complicated than that description. Basically the important factors are that the temperature is maintained at a balance of the two, and also the humidity, airflow, and cleanliness of the air is monitored.
