WEB HOSTING
To ensure that your mission critical Internet initiatives are secure and running 24 x 7 x 365, Get Real Interactive houses its publishing servers in a maximum security, disaster resistant data center located in Allentown, PA, which provides:
  • Infrastructure / Environment
  • Security
  • Disaster Control
  • Connectivity
  • Power Systems
  • System Monitoring and Management
Infrastructure / Environment
  • Racks and locked cages to host Turnaround's equipment, and that of our clients, in a secure environment.
  • Raised flooring for cabling and special wiring needs.
  • Temperature and humidity controlled environment.
  • Need+1 (N+1) design of cooling towers, water pumps and chillers.
  • Multiple air handling units providing another level of redundancy.
  • Cooling units maintain uniform 72° and 50 percent relative humidity levels.
Security
 
Security of the data and systems are especially critical in a Web hosting environment. The data center is designed with security of these critical assets as a primary objective. Some of the important security features of the data center include:
  • 24/7 on-site security guard.
  • Indoor and outdoor security monitoring.
  • Badge/picture ID access screening.
  • Biometric access screening.
  • Dual door floor trap design for access to the raised floor area.
  • Escort requirements for access to raised floor areas.
Disaster Control
 
The data center is designed to withstand disastrous conditions pertinent to its location, ensuring that Turnaround's systems and equipment continue to run even under extreme conditions.
  • Fire detection and suppression systems for 24/7 operations of critical systems.
  • Dual fire detection (photoelectronic/ionization and sniffer) systems.
  • Central fire alarm system notification with a direct alarm to the local fire department.
  • Multi-zone pre-action dry pipe suppression system allowing suppression to be contained to the affected area and not disrupt conditions elsewhere.
Connectivity
 
The data center is equipped to provide Turnaround's Internet protocol (IP) connectivity via the QwestŪ fiber network. Other connectivity features include:
  • Built-in redundancy through redundant router and switch configuration of the CyberCenter LAN design.
  • Dual ports available from unique switches.
  • Scalability through 10 to 1000 Mbps bandwidth ports.
Power systems
 
Web hosting support systems must be always available, and the system availability is only as predictable as the availability of power to those systems. The data center is therefore designed for redundancy and high availability of power to critical server systems.
  • Dual power availability to each rack unit from independent power distribution units (PDUs), removing PDU loss as a single point of failure.
  • Redundant N+1 design of uninterruptable power supplies.
  • Redundant stand-by generator power supplies, in the event of a power failure from commercial power.
System Monitoring and Management
 
The data center is equipped with sophisticated equipment and technical talent to provide 24/7 system monitoring and management of critical systems.
  • Concord NetHealth (server health monitoring).
  • Agilent FireHunter (throughput monitoring).
  • Veritas Nerve Center (router and switch event correlation).
  • HP Open View (base network monitoring).
  • Remedy (problem tracking, trouble ticketing and resolution management)
