SmartFunction data centers ensure the uninterruptible
functioning of our clients' operations. These are the state-of-the-art
facilities that have been specifically constructed to satisfy
the hosting needs of the most demanding clients, namely, security,
redundancy, network and hardware system administration, and bandwidth
availability.
Security
• We have put in place the strictest security
policies. The 24x7 Guard Station is staffed with experienced personnel
and set up with the latest monitors and automatic problem notification
equipment. The data center is thoroughly monitored via closed
circuit TV cameras and motion detecting sensors. Alarm triggers
are strategically positioned throughout the building. The access
authentication is accomplished with badge and biometric scanners
feeding into centralized security computers. go top
Building Structures
• The building structures meet or exceed the
local codes for seismic activities and severe climatic conditions.
Racks, cabinets and cages are secured with earthquake proof retainers.

HVAC Redundant Systems
• The data center uses n+1 Redundant Liebert
units ducted together to eliminate hot spots. The operation of
the HVAC system is constantly monitored with NetBrowser software.
There is a separate ATS for the air conditioning units. Four high-capacity
water chillers are mounted on the roof; three are always on line
and the fourth serves as backup. Room climate for secure areas
is maintained at 700F and 45% relative humidity.

Fire Suppression System
• The fire suppression is a redundant FM200
non-toxic gas-based system. The FM-200 release is accompanied
by siren and light notifications as well as an auto-notification
of the local emergency services. Once activated, FM-200 fills
the room in 10 seconds. Dry pipe sprinklers, provided for backup,
remain uncharged until activated.

UPS, Power Backup, And Power Distribution
• The main service distributes 8,000 amps of
electric power through multiple on-site transformers. 15 amps/110
volts of AC power to each cage/cabinet is fed from redundant sources
via two separate circuits. Two primary 625 KVA UPS systems exceed
the required capacity; the third 625 KVA UPS serves as a backup.
Each UPS has a separate battery and at full load will supply 20
to 30 minutes of battery power. We use two (one primary, one
backup) synchronized emergency power generators. The generators
start 2 seconds after commercial power fails and supplies full
power to the UPS within 10 seconds. The capacity of each generator
provides for 48 hours of continuous operation without refueling.

Wiring
• SmartFunction data centers employ overhead
wire carriers, which run a grounding bus, a level 7 Gigabit ethernet
capable backbone, multimode fiber, and 100mb ethernet wire. All
the cables, except for the backbone, are Cat 5E.

Network
• In the LAN environment, every server is connected
to redundant core routers by a meshed, redundant switching net
through either Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet connections.
In the WAN environment, dual fiber pathways, each with a redundant
fiber loop, connect the fiber cable to the national backbone via
three physically separate POPs. The data centers operate a Tier 1 IP backbone with over 10 Gbps capacity to over 200 public and
private peering partners. Customers connect to one or multiple
100Mbps Fast Ethernet LAN Ports. Three OC-3 SONET rings for the
internal segments (with two spare OC-3 rings), two OC-12 SONET
rings, and two OC-48 SONET rings from diverse central offices
are deployed. SONET (synchronized optical networking) provides
bi-directional Line switched rings. OC-48 connections are provisioned
with OC-12s.

Bandwidth
• The available bandwidth, depending on the
selected option, ranges from 250 Kbps to 100 Mbps or higher when
adding additional port connectivity. Upon special requests, 1 Gbps ports are made available. We offer a throughput based service
or aggregate bandwidth usage services.
