Toobular
has spared no expense in utilizing a safe, secure environment
that can protect our client's servers from whatever Mother
Nature has in store. Since our corporate offices are located
in Southern Florida (Miami), we've colocated our our servers
to Virginia, Texas and California facilities. Our environments are
designed for maximum uptime, with fully redundant systems
engineered to limit exposure to any problem which may affect
other areas. This includes, but is not limited to; electrical
power, air temperature and humidity, smoke-detection systems
(capable of detecting fire in the pre-combustion stages) and,
of course, redundant connections to the internet. This facility
has the following protection systems in place to ensure maximum
operation regardless of the disruption:

Power
Supply ::
The
premier power system makes outages obsolete, utilizing
an AC-DC-AC conversion process to eliminate surges,
meet the demands of both AC and DC equipment, and provide
nonstop power. Its heart is the Automatic Transfer Control
Logic system (ATCL) system which monitors power throughout
the system to draw only from the most reliable sources.
The power backups are utilized in the following order:
two-hour battery backup (industry standard is only 15
minutes), commercial utility underground conduits, diesel
generator with full-load capability and 18 hour fuel
supply.
In addition, the system features: parallel redundant
UPS module, redundant primary 480V feeders, split switchboard
with draw-out tie-breaker, redundant 500KVA K13 transformers,
48V DC power plant with separate batteries and A+B bus
for redundancy, dual-fed secondary switchboard and critical
load distribution boards, maintenance bypass feeder
with dedicated 500 KVA K13 transformer, and dedicated
20 amp circuits with #10AWG (30 amp) wiring to rack
plug strips, including dedicated neutrals feeding server
racks.

Security
::
We
appreciate that both equipment and data security are
vital to our clients. With that in mind, comprehensive
security systems include visitation access lists, security
cameras, and dedicated Ethernet segments. Seven days
a week, around the clock, security personnel superintend
the Operations Center lobby. A digital surveillance
camera monitors all sections of the Network Center and
all installed equipment.

The
Environment - The Operations Center ::
The
Operations Center maintains a constant temperature of
68°F, plus or minus 2°F, with humidity at a constant
of 45%. This facility has 200 tons of total cooling
capacity, more than enough to maintain these temperature
and humidity levels. The Vienna, Virginia facility incorporates
features to maximize equipment performance. The floors
consist of 6-inch concrete slabs with natural anti-static
properties, balanced by embedded carbon filaments and
grounded by copper strips. Cables are trayed above the
racks and color-coded for simplified maintenance.
