Restricted Data Floor Access The data centers are physically isolated from everyone but level three technicians within the EV1 environment. Public access is strictly forbidden. Access to the data center floors is restricted to those holding Rackspace military-grade pass cards. Furthermore, access to the data centers themselves is restricted by Biometric hand scanners.
Multiple Power Source Backups Power systems in EV1 data centers 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. In the event of an extended power outage, an on-site diesel generator can run indefinitely. The generator is regularly tested to ensure that it will continue to function in the event of an emergency.
EV1 guarantees that the network will be available 99.8% of the time in a given month, excluding scheduled maintenance. |
