Los Angeles Data Center
Location: Los Angeles, California USA
Our state of the art Data Center is located in downtown Los Angeles, right next door to One Wilshire (One Wilshire - The World's Most
Connected Bulding and Telecom Carrier Hotel).
The data center offers complete redundancy in power, HVAC, network connectivity, and security.
The data center facility is serviced through multiple power grids, with full UPS battery backup power and diesel
generators on-site. Our network is supplied by several separate networks including, Level(3), SAVVIS, UUNet, Verio and DTAG
and is supplemented by local peering.
Why Los Angeles?
Clients located anywhere in the US West Coast, US Pacific North West or in Western Canada will experience the lowest latency to our
LAX data center. Internet routes to this data center are also very favorable to clients located in the Asia/Pacific region due to our
direct connection to the NTT/Verio network (arguably Asia's top Internet backbone). Our multi-homed network provdes ample routes that
offer low latency to both the East and West coasts.

Fire Suppression System
A state-of-the-art fire suppression system constantly monitors the physical environment for smoke, chemicals and other hazardous
materials that might spark a fire. The data center uses a dual-interlock pre-action sprinkler system throughout the facility. These
pipes are dry-filled with compressed air - until two alarm conditions are reached thereby releasing the valve to charge the system.
Water is only released in the area when a sprinkler head has lost its seal, or is actuated, due to heat, AND the fire detection
system has detected a fire condition. If a head is accidentally knocked off, water does not flow into the system. Any water
discharged will be sprinkler-head specific, which will limit the potential for damage caused by over-spray.
Redundant and Precise HVAC System
Air control is critical in maintaining fast, efficient performance from our customers' equipment. To create the right environment,
the data center is fitted with a comprehensive Liebert HVAC system that delivers constant, ideal air conditions, between 68 and 74
degrees Fahrenheit and between 40% and 50% relative humidity at all times. Our HVAC system uses efficient and effective chilled
water cooling, not a standard forced/chilled air configuration. HVAC systems maintain a minimum of N+1 redundancy, allowing the
data center to maintain a constant, cool environment that is conducive to our customers' mission-critical equipment and operations.
Redundant Power and UPS
The power systems are equipped with a level of redundancy that guarantees continuous operation. To ensure that the data center is
always operational all the time, a multi-layer power generation system, using some of the highest grade equipment available, is in
place. Conditioned AC power with two independent A & B power buses, respectively, is available. In addition, UPS, battery and diesel
generators back up every power system. Unlike some other data centers the climate control and security measures are also backed up
with redundant power to ensure clean operation during power outages. The UPS systems maintain three hours of battery backup and a 2
MW diesel generator is onsite for longer outages. If there are issues with the diesel generator the three hours of battery backup
gives ample time to dispatch a portable diesel generator system, if needed.
Security
Visual confirmation and strict sign-in procedures, both conducted by trained security personnel, along with key cards,
and photo ID verification ensure that only authorized personnel have access to our data center. Our staff is on-site 24/7. In
addition, all aspects of the data center are monitored and recorded via color, hi-resolution digital video cameras. All video footage
is kept on hand for a period of at least 30 days.
