CalPOP Colocation – Your Server is ALWAYS available!
CalPOP is located in the only commercial building in Los Angeles completely dedicated to data center tenants. Backup power generators are in the basement and roof. CalPOP also has its own battery powered generators. All servers have multiple network inputs so if one internet network has a failure numerous back ups are available. CalPOP boasts around the clock, 24/7, even on national holidays, technicians keeping your server working.
Housing your companyâs server in the utility room is becoming antiquated as the hard line telephone and whole milk. Modern business organizations increasingly value the benefits of collocating their mission-critical servers inside secure, around the clock data centers. Colocating â moving your server to a data center, is becoming popular and practical because internet connections are now more than 99% stable, and business realize the time and cost of using a premiere data centerâs infrastructure, containing all the information technology and communications facilities in a well guarded, secure location with highly trained and experience IT professionals constantly monitoring the customers servers.
Customers reduce their businessâ âbackhaul networkâ costs, the extra amount of bandwidth necessary to transmit messages, and hence their internal networks perform at faster data speeds for other bandwidth uses. And by outsourcing network traffic to a colocation service provider with greater bandwidth capacity, server and web site access speeds usually improve considerably.
Most importantly, the amount of server downtime, even with a power outage, is almost totally eliminated, as CalPOP has redundant backup power supply, server backup, and computer technicians always available should any problem arise.
Why Colocation is better than In-house
| Problem | Server at your Business | Colocation at CalPOP |
|---|---|---|
| Power Failure | Your Business is at a standstill until the power comes back. There is a risk of data loss if your servers do not shut down cleanly before the power is interrupted. |
CalPOP’s redundant arrays of diesel generators, our weeklong emergency fuel supply, and our redundant battery-backed uninterpretable power supplies and automatic transfer switches ensure reliable operation and minimize the risk of data loss due to the loss of electrical power. |
| Overheating | Most commercial buildings do not run their air conditioners after hours, or have redundant air conditioning systems. Few commercial buildings have high-powered Computer Room Air Handlers required to cool large numbers of servers. Servers will begin to fail at 90 degrees Fahrenheit; an overheated server room with no air conditioning can reach temperatures of 120 degrees Fahrenheit, which will destroy most hard drives, causing severe data loss, and also cause severe damage to other parts of the equipment. |
CalPOPâs massive air cooling system is particularly engineered to insure optimum server temperatures. |
| Network Reliability | Most buildings have at most two internet uplinks, and you will not be able to BGP peer with your internet service providers; thus, your site will typically become inaccessible even if one of the uplinks remains online. |
CalPOP has redundant 10 gigabit ethernet connections to a large number of providers; and the CalPOP network is fully redundant both at the network edge, in the core, and at the distribution layer. The physical fiber connections entering the building are also redundant, eliminating the risk of outages due to accidental cutting of a single fiber otpic cable. |
| Maintenance | While you can remotely access your servers, unless you have onsite techs 24/7, you cannot respond to a wide array of malfunctions, including failures that disrupt your remote management infrastructure. |
CalPOP datacenter technicians are available 24/7/365 to provide all needed maintenance to your servers, including emergency reboots and troubleshooting operating system reinstallation, virus removal, and file recovery. |
| Hardware Failure | If the physical hardware of your server fails outside of normal business hours, you must send someone onsite to repair it, which can result in an extended outage and significant expense. You must also maintain a spare parts inventory, which can be expensive, or face further outages while waiting for replacement parts. |
CalPOP maintains an extensive spare parts inventory, and our experienced technicians are capable of performing any needed repairs on your equipment. |
| Software Failure | While many application or operating system faults can be corrected remotely; a range of severe operating system level malfunctions can cause a crash and prevent your system from rebooting, requiring onsite intervention to correct. |
We also provide complimentary monitoring services, that allow us to immediately detect and respond to operating system and application level faults in your infrastructure. |
| Physical Security | Most office and industrial buildings lack a continual 24/7 presence of security guards within the building, pervasive video surveillance, and multiple layers of access controls. Thus, your servers are exposed to dangers ranging from criminal activity, to employee mischief, to the negligence of nighttime cleaning crews. |
A team of armed guards patrols the datacenter facility at all times. Access to the building is via keycard; the elevators are also operated via keycard. Multiple layers of internal security prevent unauthorized access to equipment, including biometric scanners, physical combination locks, and RFID badges. Pervasive video surveillance is maintained in all server rooms. |
