All our servers are located in the NAC Data Centre in New Jersey, US.
Developing within the NAC Data Centre, we utilize all the services and protection offered within the facility. FM-200 Fire Suppression, Multiple UPS Systems, Backup Diesel Generators, 24-7-365 Network Operations staff, ensuring the safety and reliability of your websites and data.




connectivity
We have fast, reliable connectivity to the internet via multiple OC-12 connections to over 75 diverse providers. Making sure your data can be reached, viewed, updated, and accessible with incredible connectivity and network strength.


 

location
Your hosting account is located on a server, which is similar to the PC you are sitting at. It is designed to operate continually. More than likely your desktop is using a version of windows. Our servers do not use the Windows operating system, instead, for increased stability and security we use Linux. The server is then placed in one of the cabinets shown, providing it a direct connection to the internet.




 

environment
As servers run continuously, they generate a lot of heat. Just think of how hot your desktop or notebook gets after a couple of hours! In order to prevent this heat from damaging the components of the server, the whole building need to be kept at a very low temperature. Hence these massive air-conditioning units.




 

power
Most Data Centres run off utility power, due to the high usage of power 24/7 they usually have a direct dedicated cable to the local transformer. NAC have numerous Backup Diesel Generators which are used to power the facility should the power fail. They also have Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) which kicks in automatically should utility power go down.




security
Within the Data Centre environment, security must be taken seriously. This involves both Physical and Network security. The Data Centre is a secure area, requiring authorized access by fingerprint recognition, there is also 24/7 onsite security personal and hi-tech security monitoring systems.




 

fire
Due to the nature of a Data Centre (high heat generation, UPS, generators, large density of electrical components) there is always a danger of a fire. As you can imagine, a fire in a Data Centre would be similar to a bull in… (do I need to finish it?) For this reason NAC have invested large sums of money in fire detection and suppression systems.
