Security
The San Francisco Telecom Center where our data center is located maintains the highest possible standards for physical security.

  • Keycard protocols, biometric scanning protocols and round-the-clock interior and exterior surveillance monitor access to our data centers.
  • Only authorized data center personnel are granted access credentials to our data centers. No one else can enter the production area of the data center without prior clearance and an appropriate escort.
  • Every data center employee undergoes multiple and thorough background security checks before they're hired.



Environment
  • Our data center HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) system is N+1 redundant which ensures, should a system failure occur, a secondary system to activate immediately.
  • Every 90 seconds, all the air in our data centers are circulated and filtered to remove dust and contaminants.
  • Our advanced fire suppression systems are designed to stop fires from spreading in the unlikely event one should occur.
  • All cables are securely tied down with cable racks suspended from ceilings, providing dual routes for all cables.



Conditioned Power Infrastructure
  • Should a total utility power outage ever occur, all of our data centers' power systems are designed to run uninterrupted, with every server receiving conditioned UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) power.
  • Our UPS power subsystem is N+1 redundant with instantaneous failover if the primary UPS fails.
  • If an extended utility power outage occurs, on-site diesel generators that have been routinely tested are able to run indefinitely.
