Robust Power
The Cleveland, Ohio Collocation Data Center provides 20,000 square feet of anti-static, 19" raised
floor. The raised floor area is supplied by Industrial class Uninterruptable Power Systems
[UPS] boasting 940 Kilovolt amperes (kVA) of power capacity, with
expansion capabilities up to 2.1 Megawatts.
The UPS
systems are redundantly supplied by diversely distributed utility
power and backed up by a 2.1 Megawatt diesel generator. The
diesel generator is supplied by a fuel capacity of 6,800 gallons.
In an emergency, BlueBridge
customers enjoy an advantage over other data centers due to a
priority status conferred upon BlueBridge by refueling providers, as
BlueBridge supplies the regions 911 Emergency Services Response
Center with emergency generator power.
State-of-the-art Power Monitoring
BlueBridge's Cleveland, Ohio Collocation Data Center employs a
state-of-the-art proactive electronic monitoring system that will
alert BlueBridge personnel of changes in
electrical load levels for every individual branch circuit.
This system also allows BlueBridge engineers to
“model” changes to the electrical infrastructure before
actual changes are made, providing an invaluable tool for planning prior to deployment of new systems to the
environment.
Environmental Systems
Constant temperature and humidity control is
maintained by 240 tons of HVAC cooling, distributed via a
pressurized downdraft system under 19” of raised floor.
Fire Protection
The Cleveland, Ohio Collocation Data Center is protected by a
state-of-the-art laser air sampling fire detection technology,
backed by a pre-action, double interlocked dry pipe fire protection
system.
The laser air sampling system is capable of detecting
particles of combustion as low as 0.0015%/ft (0.005%/m), which is
2000 times more sensitive than conventional smoke detectors.
The higher sensitivity of the detector allows it to detect low
energy fires even in high airflow environments, which tend to dilute
smoke concentrations.
Security
BlueBridge Network's Cleveland, Ohio Collocation Data Center maintains a
'round the clock onsite Network Operations Center (NOC) which
monitors the security and video systems 24x7x365, and provides
access control for physical security. Physical patrols of the data
center occur on a regular basis around the clock.
Uniformed lobby security guards control access to
the building entrances and elevators after hours, on weekends, and
holidays. There is no
access to the 5th floor data center off hours that is
unescorted. An hourly
patrol of the entire building occurs from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
Monday through Friday and 24 hours a day on weekends and holidays.
The state-of-the-art DSX security system
maintains access control to authorized personnel via proximity card
and key pad at all data center entrances. A violation of the systems
protocol automatically triggers an alarm that is monitored by two
redundant and geographically diverse monitoring centers.
Video surveillance is applied
at every entrance and throughout the data center facility. Recorded
archives are maintained for a minimum of 90 days.
Physical
Construction
The Cleveland, Ohio Collocation Data Center perimeter is
constructed with two physical layers of concrete reinforced
material. There are two physical layers of doors to the data center
consisting of heavy gauge steel security grade construction.
Telecommunications
Fiber and telecommunications connectivity is
diversely routed via separate physical building entrances, and
diverse conduit paths into the Cleveland data center itself. All of the major
global carriers with large regional network footprints are fiber
terminated directly inside of the BlueBridge Data Center.
All network services are distributed via an
overhead multi-tier ladder rack system.
