We've Got It

Our equipment is housed in the GSI AirWorld Technology Center. Located near Kansas City International Airport in the AirWorld Technology Park. The Air World Technology Center (ATC) covers over 5 acres, with over 70,000 square feet of secure raised-floor computing space.

Servers:

ServersOur server equipment belongs to us, not some third party that we barely know.  Many hosting providers are merely resellers, i7MEDIA is not a reseller.  Owning the equipment gives us a vested interest in its viability.  That means we take good care of our equipment so that we can get the most out of it and provide the best to our customers.

Power:

Diesel Generator

  • Dual feed from Aquila provides independent/redundant 25,000 V main power feeds
  • Generators are in place in the event of a natural disaster
  • 3 megawatt transformer for power failure protection

 

 

 

Environment and Cooling:

CRAC units  

  • ATC has taken additional steps to ensure that our servers are kept at the right temperature
  • ATC is one of the first dually diverse cooling configuration systems which ensures temperature, humidity and air flow consistency
  • High-capacity chilled water loop system with 320 tons cooling capacity to datacenters
  • Dual external chillers
  • 150 tons of precision split (DX) air cooling
  • No water facilities are above the data center floor
  • FOUR chilled water pumps with a capacity of 600 tons feed two chilled water loops
  • Water pumps are linked with an exterior chiller

 

Fiber Capacity & Core IP Network & Bandwidth

CRAC units

  • Core network is Cisco-powered.
  • ATC has diverse fiber entry points from 6 different vendors:
    • AT&T
    • TimeWarner
    • Qwest
    • Sprint
    • Telecove
    • Unite
  • And 5 upstream Tier 1 providers:
    • AT&T
    • Sprint
    • Level3
    • Cogent
    • Global Crossing

Physical Security:

  • Interiors and exteriors are vigilantly monitored 24/7/365 via closed-circuit video surveillance system, covered with over 24 cameras feeding a time-lapse digital video recorder (DVR) with 90 days retention.
  • Access to ATC is tightly controlled by various protocols including proximity keycards, and a man-trap with a guard shack requiring valid picture identification. Additionally, visitors and/or vendors must have registered and verified an access ticket prior to their arrival, and will be escorted to their servers once they get there.
  • Data center floors are located in a building-within-a-building, completely isolated from exterior access.

Disaster Prevention & Protection

  • Smoke and fire suppression starts with an early warning smoke detection system using ion and laser-based detection units.
  • In the unlikely event of a fire, we have a dual-interlock, pre-action, dry-pipe sprinkler system.
