The Internet Data Centers are strategically located on AT&T’s, Global Crossing and Cable & Wireless' OC48 / OC192 Global IP backbones. These locations, together with the extensive public and private peering arrangements, are designed to maximize your Internet reach, bandwidth capacity and to optimize performance. To ensure your data’s security, the facilities are staffed 24 hours a day with on-site guards and equipped with both interior and exterior closed circuit television.

The NOCs are staffed on a 24/7 basis by skilled network technicians and analysts, who continuously monitor the data center network infrastructure for any signs of problems. Automated features as well as customized options help network managers to predict - and often, resolve - problems before they arise.

They offer an array of equipment options, network utilities and software packages that are readily available for fast and easy deployment. Their servers are managed by Systems Administrators, who maintain operating systems, software and hardware for approved servers. Their staff is trained to manage hot swappable devices, supplementary equipment and upgrades with remarkable speed.

To ensure that all servers, monitoring equipment, and infrastructure are fully protected during a power failure, their Internet Data Centers are equipped with redundant dual AC and DC power feeds with multiple backup systems.

AT&T Internet Data Centers are equipped with fully redundant fire detection and suppression systems. These include the VESDA advanced fire detection system — 100 times more sensitive than conventional fire detection systems, an additional cross-zoned fire detection system, and either the ozone-safe Inergen "clean agent" fire suppression system, or pre-action (dry type) sprinkler systems.

You can rest assured knowing that rapid-response disaster preparedness and recovery measures are in place. In addition, redundant cooling, heating and humidity controls keep servers in an optimum operating environment.
