Network
Our network is flexible enough to meet each of our client's unique requirements.
This ability comes from utilizing multiple, scalable and redundant connections
to Tier 1 providers allowing us to provide 99.99% uptime on a customer's connection
from 1 Mbps to GigE (1000 Mbps).

Security
Around the clock security includes:
 Closed circuit video monitoring (inside & outside the facility)
Alarmed doors with secure card-key access
Man-trap restricted access to the data floor
Secure locking equipment enclosures (cabinets or cages)
Building and environmental alarms are monitored 24x7 by staff in our Network
Operations Center (NOC). Video surveillance tapes are archived and reviewed
on a regular basis to ensure procedural consistency.

Power
HostingCity's Marlboro, MA facility is designed and equipped to provide over
200 watts of power per square foot of data center space via dual independent
power systems, each backed by it's own bank of Uninterruptable Power Supplies
(UPSs). Each bank of UPSs includes n+1 redundancy. Our three-phase UPS is among
the largest single-site American Power Conversion installations in the United
States, and can power the entire datacenter at full load.
Within one minute of a commercial power failure HostingCity's diesel generators
smoothly pick up the load from the UPSs and keep our network and your servers
functioning without interruption for the duration of the commercial power failure.
During an extended commercial power outage the diesel generators provide power
using the five thousand gallons of diesel fuel securely stored on site. Fuel
suppliers are on standby to provide additional service.

Environmental Control
To ensure the sensitive infrastructure within our facilities maintains a
stable temperature, ServerCity N+1-configured HVAC systems from Liebert
are conditioned for optimal performance. ServerCity has multiple chillers
and Computer Room AC (CRAC) units to provide air conditioning to meet
ServerCity's N+1 redundancy requirements.
Our state-of-the-art fire suppression systems rely on a FM-200 inert gas
structure designed to protect servers and other delicate equipment. The
backup system is a dry-charged, pre-action method designed to isolate the
event, protect the physical facility, and leave unaffected systems untouched.
