Dogbark.com >> About Us >> Bandwidth and Connectivity

Hold on to your hat. There is some very technical sounding stuff here. Even we are impressed with our connectivity. TekLinks handles our connectivity and colocation; Our reliable and redundant connections as well as our UPS (uninterupted power supply) ensure continuous up-time. At this point, the greatest bottleneck will be the computer on your desk!

• Connectivity.

Here's the specifications on our primary connectivity. All of this leads to quick and stable communication with your web site. We use BGP4 routing between the three backbones over a fully redundant internal network including Cisco 7200 series routers and 6000 series catalyst switches. Network Operations Center (NOC) on site with back-up NOCs in 16 other cities.

Three Tier 1 Internet providers delivered via 3 separate carriers.

• Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS).

Our datacenter is equiped with both battery and diesel generator power. In the event that there is a major power outage our battery backup will automatically keep our facility and servers running. If the power outage is prolonged then the diesel generator will provide ongoing power supply to our facility. All the while your site is running as though nothing happened.

6 - 160 KVA/120V - dual - mod, redundant UPS
(Power fully loaded datacenter for approx. 30 minutes. Servers as buffer between city-side and generator power. Typical transition from city to generator last only 10 seconds) We guarantee 100% power availability.

2000 KW standby diesel generator.
3300 gallons diesel on site with 2 fueling contracts. (24 hours on one tank)

• Airflow & Cooling Action.

An often-overlooked factor in server stability is the ability to keep the servers cool and isolated from outside environmental factors. Our data center provides plenty of floor space to keep the air moving, and the machinery to keep it cool.

9 Data-Aire Air Handlers - 26 Tons each.
14,000 square feet of raised floor.
