All servers are wired into an uninterruptible power supply, as well as connected to a seperate power sub-station we share with MCI. We also utilize Lorain DC inverters and rectifiers.
Our network operations center is cooled by dual 20 ton Liebert air conditioning units with a direct back-up water feed from the City of Kansas City, Missouri.
The Community Hosting network utilizes a direct fiber feed to Global Crossing and Level3 via American Fiber Systems.
Our building itself is home to multiple tier-1 providers such as Wiltel, Qwest, AT&T, MCI, and Cogent. If we don't have a provider you like, it's simply a matter of running fiber from their floor to ours.
Security
Facility (interior and exterior) monitoring is provided by a Sensormatic Virtual Real-Time & Time Lapse HD Video System over Sensormatic CCTV cameras.
Building access is secured 24/7 by live personnel with electronic key access as the only means of building entry after normal business hours. The NOC itself resides on the 9th floor of the Bryant Building, with no exterior access, behind dual sets of solid, 2 inch thick, oak doors built especially for a Class A data center like ours.
Located in downtown Kansas City, the Bryant
Building is registered as a national historic
property. It joined the KC skyline in 1930.
With 13,200 volt 3-phase power supplied by
two separate power grids with different transformers,
the power supplied to the building is very
reliable.
The site has become a "technology hotel",
with many technology / communications / fiber
optic companies, ikncluding Williams Communications,
Cogent Communications, Alltel, Level 3, Global Crossing, and a host
of others.
