PRNNoc Data Center
Located in the heart of downtown Orlando, our data center
has had many advantages available but it was all hard work
to get started. In the end, there is nothing like being able
to say that we own all of our own equipment. Our 100% Cisco
and Linux powered network was built and is maintained by our
technicians. When a problem arises, our tech's are the ones
to respond.
75% of
web hosting companies do not have their own Data Center and
have no access to their servers without the assistance of a
3rd party. If an issue ever arises, we can physically go to
the server within 10 minutes and address the issue without
relying on someone else. That is priceless and peace of mind
for you, the client.
Security
Access to the data center floors is restricted to those
holding military grade pass cards. Furthermore, complete
access to our floor is only permitted by allowance from the
security guards at the front desk, around the clock. You can
be safe in the knowledge that only a handful of highly
trained, level-three technicians will be allowed within
close physical proximity to your server.
Equipment
All of our routers and switches are made by Cisco. Cisco is
a tried and true manufacturer and we use nothing but the
best, so Cisco is our only choice for all network hardware.
We have made major and wise investments with them because we
feel that using industry leading equipment that has a proven
track record is the best choice, and is well worth the extra
expense.
Connectivity
Our connections are the best connections, ran straight into
our data center and your servers are the first to get zapped
with these unrestrained highways. PRNNoc is located in a
multi-homed connection. We do not use 1 carrier nor do we
use cheap cogent bandwidth. We are connected to TIER 1
providers!
Our main lines are, AT&T DS-3, UUNET DS-3,
XO Communications DS3, and TimeWarner OC-48
Our bandwidth power is limitless for your account ...only
according to your plan. ;)
Power
The power systems in our data center are designed to run
uninterrupted even in the unlikely event of a total power
outage. All servers are fed with conditioned UPS
(Uninterruptible Power Supply) power that will run if
utility power fails. The UPS power subsystem is "N+1"
redundant with instantaneous fail over in case the primary
UPS fails.
Environment
Our data center's HVAC (Heating and Ventilation Air
Conditioning) system is "N+1" redundant to ensure that -
even in the event of an entire HVAC system failure - there
is a duplicate system on standby to take over. An advanced
fire-suppression system is in place to prevent any fire from
spreading - in the unlikely event that one could start. All
cables to servers and routing equipment are securely tied
down, and cable racks suspended from the ceiling provide
dual routes for all cables.This is so in the event that all
cables on a cable rack are cut or burned, packets of data
will automatically be routed to a second set of cables on
the other side of the data center.
Climate
control
We have 4 Data Aire air conditioning units that
provide optimal conditions for equipment operations. Climate
control means that the air conditioning units monitor the
temperature outside of the building and compare it to the
temperature inside of the building. Of course, it is much
more complicated than that description. Basically the
important factors are that the temperature is maintained at
a balance of the two, and also the humidity, airflow, and
cleanliness of the air is monitored. Click

a more detailed description of just how clean and cool the
air is inside of our data center. This is why our servers
run so smooth and fast.
Expertise
We invest a significant amount of time and money into our
staff to make sure that they are knowledgeable and are
capable of helping and handling our customers with patience
and care. They also invest a great amount of time and care
into us, knowing that they are working with a company that
places people first and affordable pricing to get their
dreams online. A company is only as good as the people who
manage it. A network is only as good as the people who
manage it. It all takes teamwork, and expertise.
Monitoring
That talented staff we speak of works around the clock to
ensure that our network is operating at the most optimum
state. We continually review our collected statistics and
with very precise care and attention. We closely watch for
traffic trends so that we can react with the proper routing
adjustments and bandwidth additions. We choose to have a
monitoring system projected on an entire wall and viewable
at all times by anyone who walks into our offices.
