Physical Security

OHS18 maintains its physical plant in a world-class data facility located in Silicon Valley. Our servers have hot swappable components, access to the highest bandwidth in the industry and are backed up with redundant servers. The site has intruder detection services and state-of-the-art physical protection (fire, theft and access). The location is staffed with trained security and network personnel 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Security
Access to all server rooms is controlled by an access database, pass cards and video surveillance. Guards monitor all areas within the co-location area and are protected by bulletproof glass.

Security guards, as well as bullet-resistant glass, doors and walls protect a single point of entry to co-location areas 24 hours a day. All visits are logged against our defined access lists.

Surveillance cameras located throughout the facility capture all activity to help ensure no unauthorized entry to protected areas.

Continuous Power Supply
The data facility is among the first Internet data centers to utilize continuous power supply (CPS) online generators. These state-of-the-art generators are part of an overall power system that cleans and conditions commercial electrical power to remove any irregularities in the signal.

All power is run through the CPS generators before being passed into the facility, which builds momentum in the high-efficiency turbine. In the event of a loss of power from the grid, the momentum in the turbine ensures continuous power while the back-up generators come online.

The back-up diesel generator can power the facility at full power for approximately 40 hours before fuel re-supply is necessary.

The facilities also include the following features:
  Disaster-resistant construction of the facility and vaults that meet compliance issues
  Fire prevention systems that comply with NFPA Standards in the U.S.
  Proper environmental controls
  Fail-safe communication capabilities
