Agreements with two major carriers to provide additional diesel fuel
Generators assumes building load within 20 seconds
Generators are tested on weekly basis under load
Tanks are kept at least 80% full at all times
Two utility feeds from independent substations
Diverse paths to the building
Feeds to building are encased in concrete
Fed from two independent substations

HVAC chiller system
Hosting space HVAC system includes (16) AHUs and (16) ACCUs manufactured by Trane
AHUs are DX type and located in the mechanical mezzanine; the ACCUs are located on the roof
There is adequate capacity to withstand a HVAC unit failure or an entire bus failure
Cooling is provided by both overhead and under floor air
HVAC systems have wetted media for humidification, VFDs for each supply fan, exhaust fans to control building pressure, and economizers to utilize cool outside air
Separate Dectron outside air handling units provide conditioned air for the hosting space
UPS Room cooling is provided by Trane RTUs in a N+1 configuration
Node room cooling is provided by Liebert DX CRAC units in a N+1 configuration
Network facilities - Main Node Room
Multiple fiber providers for diversity - provides diversity and redundancy
Each vendor can deliver additional bandwidth capacity with minimal turn-around time
Can be delivered using existing 'lit' fiber
Fiber pathways into the Data Center are truly diverse
Fiber enters building in steel conduit from multiple points in the building
Savvis Network
AS3561 - The SAVVIS backbone network SAVVIS has engineered its network around a single platform - AS3561 - which enables one global IP backbone, rather than regional Autonomous Systems stitched together. That means that once data gets on the network, it's a single BGP hop to the global network node nearest its destination. This minimizes the number of router hops and reduces the risk of downtime when traffic has to traverse multiple networks.
Some of our international competitors support services on multiple continents through joint ventures and partnerships. SAVVIS owns its own network - there are no joint ventures that may affect performance and support.
A single AS means:
Customers are only one hop away from content hosted on the SAVVIS network
Access to all of the routes on the Internet
A single end-to-end Service Level Agreement
Network features include:
Based on industry-leading Juniper core routers and Cisco equipment specifically designed for the needs of Tier 1 "carrier-class" customers
