Data Center & Network
Specifications
 Our
web servers are housed in a world-class data
center operated by The
Planet, in Dallas, Texas, with
a direct connection to eleven Internet backbones.
The Planet currently owns and operates two
state-of-the-art data centers, offering
complete redundancy in power, HVAC, fire suppression, network
connectivity, and security. With over 53,000 sq ft of raised
floor between the two facilities, The Planet has an offering
to fit any need. The datacenter facility sits atop
multiple power grids driven by TXU electric, with PowerWare
UPS battery backup power and dual diesel generators onsite.
Our HVAC systems are condenser units by Data Aire to provide
redundancy in cooling coupled with ten managed backbone
providers. Twelve more third party backbone providers are
available in the building via cross connect. Fire suppression
includes a pre-action dry pipe system including VESDA (Very
Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) with over 700 smoke detectors
between the two facilities.
