DATA CENTRE

The Data Center is located in the heart of Brisbane. It is a true Teir 1 Data Center with the following features:

Backup Generator

Located within the building is a backup diesel generator. In the event of a prolonged power outage the generator can power the data center for 3 days before refueling. The system is tested and maintained monthly.

Big Boys' Choice

Many of Australia's largest telecos are also in the same room. Telstra, Datafast, Optus, TPG, iiNet and more).

Dual UPS

In the event that a power outage occurs in the city. The UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)takes over whilst the generator starts up. Once the generator has started it takes over and powers the data center. In the event that the first UPS is faulty it automatically switches over to a second UPS

Redundant Air Conditioning Humidity/Climate Control

Redundant air condition ensures your servers stay cool, if 2 isn't enough there is also an emergency backup air conditioner. Humidity control keep the environment static free.

VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Agent)

This is a special gas that in the event of a fire, releases a gas in the room. This gas puts out the fire before spreading and is harmless to humans and electronic equipment.

24/7 NOC

The data centre is monitored 24/7 by Powertel and ourselves. This ensures that the uptime is maintained and should a problem occur, will be resolved quickly and efficiently.

NETWORK INFORMATION

To ensure maximum uptime, we have use a fully redundant network. This includes the following:

Redundant Network Connections

AAPT, Connect (Dual Australian circuit), Datafast, Pipenetworks, Powertel and Vivanet. Our circuits are un metered.

Redundant Cisco Routers
In the event a router goes down, all data is re-routed to our backup router. Also if there are any upgrades to be performed to the primary router, the secondary takes over to ensure no downtime is experienced.

BPG4 Routing
This method of routing automatically switches your packets of information in the event the path is blocked between us and it's destination.
