Macminicolo.net
is housed in Las Vegas at Switch Communications, one of the most advanced data
centers in the world. Their focus on both physical
and network security, combined
with
ready accessibility for our key people
made their
selection
an ideal one. To the
right is a shot of the "man trap " where all human traffic passes after a visual test and biometrics.
This facility is manned 24 hours a day, 365 days
a year by a group of dedicated network engineers. These individuals
monitor
the condition
of the networks, the AC,
physical plant, and even the local weather and news; watching for events
which
could disrupt service. Shown here is part of the controls
for the advanced fire suppression system.
We host over 500 Mac minis in the facility. The number is continually growing.
Keeping your server up and running is what it is
all about. In addition to UPS power, the entire center can be powered
indefinitely on diesel generators. To the right is a photo of one of
the generators.
All traffic flowing to and from macminicolo.net
passes through any array of cutting edge routers. Multiple independent
fiber channels bring the network to the building. Bandwidth is provided
by multiple circuits (Cox, Broadwing, Level (3), MCI/UUNET, Qwest,
SBC Electric Lightwave, Sierra Pacific and Sprint*).
