WORLD-CLASS DATA CENTERS.

NetMass uses a Tier IV network-neutral data center and internet exchange service for enterprises and network services. With direct access to the top global networks, our data centers and services surpass the limitations of typical data centers and network and internet operations through direct interconnection to the largest aggregation of networks for unmatched service diversity, flexibility and reliability.

SECURITY

Every data center is staffed with 24-hour security officers to augment the physical security features. Visitors are screened upon entry to verify their identity and escorted to their destinations by security staff. A fully monitored and secure welcome lobby area is separate from the center proper.

• All doors, including cages, are secured with biometric hand geometry readers.
• Exteriors are fully anonymous and have no windows.
• CCTV digital camera coverage of entire center, including cages, with archival system.
• All exterior walls are bullet resistant.
• Entire perimeter bounded by concrete bollards/planters.
• A silent alarm and automatic notification of appropriate law enforcement officials protect all exterior entrances.
• CCTV integrated with access control and alarm system.
• Motion-detection for lighting and CCTV coverage.
  

RESOURCES

Our data centers are the world-class industry standard for premium facilities. Customers are guaranteed to experience superior technological benefits at each and every center. Our facilities provide the highest level of security and optimal operating conditions for equipments. All setups are engineered with direct access to the data distribution system to allow a virtually infinite number of interconnections at any speed. The patented IBX cabling infrastructure forms a high-performance backbone for customers, with multiple redundant core switches and powerful routers.

Unstoppable Power

With Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems and emergency backup diesel generators, the electrical distribution system is designed to power your systems, even during a total blackout.

UPS systems prevent power spikes, surges and brownouts while redundant backup diesel generators provide additional fuel to keep the data center powered up in the event that public utility fails. The entire electrical system has built-in redundancy to guarantee continuous operation. The overall system is N+1 redundant, including each component within the parallel electrical systems.

SAFEGUARDS

Each data center is completely fitted with redundancy for precision HVAC, power and fire detection/suppression systems.

Redundant HVAC

To provide optimum conditions for equipment operation and minimize downtime due to equipment failure, the HVAC system provides appropriate airflow, temperature and humidity. Air-cooled package chillers arranged in N+1 redundancy configuration and backed up by generator supply is adopted to provide round-the-clock chilled water supply to the precision air conditioner units throughout the IBX center.

Fire Detection and Suppressions

Multi-zoned, dry pipe, water-based fire suppression system with sensory mechanisms (sniffers) to sample air and provide alarms prior to pressurization. Dual alarm (heat and/or smoke) activation necessary for water pressurization of system. Water only enters the fire suppression system in the event of two cross-zone alarms, and will only disperse in the event of a broken or melted sprinkler-head. Any water discharge will be sprinkler-head specific, which will limit the potential for damage caused by over-spray.

Flood Control

Built above sea-level with no basements, tightly sealed conduits, moisture barriers on exterior walls, and dedicated pump rooms; drainage/evacuation systems; moisture detection sensors.

Earthquake

Location-specific seismic compliance. Structural systems meet or exceed seismic design requirements of local building codes for lateral seismic design forces. In addition, equipment and nonstructural components, including cabinets, are anchored and braced in accordance with the requirements of the 1997 Uniform Building Code.
