Data Center Overview
 


Our Servers are parked at The Planet that currently owns and operates two state-of-the-art data centers in Dallas, Texas, offering complete in power, redundancy 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.

All of our servers utilize Intel® Dual Xeon 2.8 GHZ, with 1.0 gigs of ram or above processing power and reliable, fast scsi hard drives for optimal performance.
