 :: OUR DATA CENTER ::
Most all of our servers are stored in the state of the art The Planet
data center located in Dallas, Texas. (One of the largest and most secure
dedicated server data centers in the world)
The Planet data center offers complete redundancy in power,
HVAC, fire suppression, network connectivity, and security.
The Planet data center facility sits atop multiple power grids
driven by TXU electric, with PowerWare UPS battery backup power and dual diesel
generators onsite. The HVAC systems are condenser units by Data Aire to provide
redundancy in cooling coupled with 10 managed backbone providers. Twelve more
third party backbone providers are available in the building via cross connect.
Fire suppression includes a pre-action dry pipe system including VESDA (Very
Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) with over 500 smoke detectors.

:: NETWORK
INFRUSTRUCTURE ::
The Planet data center network architecture utilizes the
Enterprise routing and switching engines from Juniper and Cisco. The Planet
data center utilizes Juniper M20 routers as border routers, Cisco 6500 series
switches in distribution layer and Cisco 6500 switches in aggregation layers,
and Cisco 3500 and 2900 series switches at the customer layer. The network is
fully meshed and redundant with 10 backbone providers. The current network
consists of UUNet (GigE), Sprint (GigE), Level 3 (GigE), Global Crossing
(GigE), Verio (GigE), AT&T (GigE), Time Warner (GigE), Allegiance Telecom
(2 x GigE), Broadwing (GigE) and AboveNet (2 x GigE).
