eVise - Data Center
Home
The eVise Data Center is built to meet the most demanding requirements. Located in Cary, NC, it has more than 11,000 square feet of space. This center provides total system, application and mission-critical data management. With the highest level of security, safety, redundancy, reliability, scalability and technology, our state-of-the-art facility is capable of handling server management applications for customers worldwide.
 
Our Data Center security is state-of-the-art. With three levels of security, entry into the Data Center is not only restricted by proximity cards and access codes, but also controlled by biometric hand scanners. Facility security is managed centrally through a global facility management system. Video surveillance, and stringent Data Center escort requirements protect server access. All service center personnel must pass a background check, be trained in security procedures and complete a probationary period with the company before being cleared for Data Center work.
The electrical power system is fully redundant with backup generators and parallel, uninterruptible power systems (UPS) - minimizing the possibility of power failures to the lowest level. The same is true of the air conditioning system. In our Data Center there are three HVAC systems, each with two compressors. So at maximum cooling times, one system can be completely down and not affect room conditions. The company also has multiple network connections providers, each with diverse routing into the facility and separate fiber paths to the Customer. In essence, there is no single point of failure within the entire facility.
eVise focuses on providing the highest level of reliability, beginning with the electrical power and fiber coming into its buildings. The multiple UPS systems maintain constant electrical current during the time it takes for the generator to stabilize. Should a power outage last longer than a day, our Data Center has seven separate fuel vendors contracted to deliver energy supplies around the clock. Internally, every server is connected so that it has power supplied by two completely separate paths back to the building service. Fiber is brought in through SONET rings from a minimum of two different providers over separate fiber systems in such a way that the systems do not come together until they are at the Customer's system. All systems are monitored around the clock to detect and protect our clients from potential system or network failures. The sophisticated monitoring and management software is controlled from the Network Operations Center.
The Data Center narrow band (internal) connectivity is 100 percent fiber optic. Wide band (outgoing) connectivity straddles two OC-12 SONET rings combining "ground floor" connectivity, speed, and redundancy over redundancy. This combination means that our customers enjoy the very best, most scalable connectivity options available to any e-business. We offer a broad range of servers and systems, which allow customers to scale up quickly whenever the need arises for additional technology and services.


 
eVise provides redundant network connections to support your mission critical application. We bring fiber into our facility from multiple Local Exchange Carriers (LECs). Each LEC provides a "self healing" SONET backbone. We connect each of these LECs to different Tier-1 Internet backbones using Interexchange Carrier Service (IXC). This combination provides you with a multi-homed, redundant network solution. If one fiber path is lost due to construction, LEC or IXC outage, Springboard's multiple paths to the Internet will keep you connected.
eVise uses redundant OC-3 (155Mbps) fiber from both Cable & Wireless and Sprint. Our LAN architecture scales to keep pace with our customers' bandwidth requirements. Our architecture utilizes Riverstone wire speed Layer 3 routers all the way to the customer router, switch, or firewall. Unlike other hosting companies that utilize Layer 2 switches and VLANS, this architecture employs very reliable, secure routers running at gigabit speeds.
eVise operates a highly redundant and resilient Data Center. With over 5,000 square feet of raised floor space, our Data Center can accommodate almost any hardware platform. Space has been engineered to maximize airflow, cooling, and humidification so that your computing infrastructure operates at its' best.
eVise employs industry-leading technology such as Powerware UPS and PDUs for redundant electrical power to all systems located in our Data Center raised floor space. Each UPS can maintain uninterruptible power to Data Center for up to 15 minutes at full load. The Data Center is backed by a 900KW Diesel Generator maintained by the local utility company. The generator has enough fuel to supply the data center with power for up to 24 hours at full load.
eVise maintains a 24x7x365 Network Operations Center. The NOC is staffed by experienced engineers ready to help and assist customers if needed. The NOC is just feet away from our Data Center, so response is fast. Unlike other support models, We achieve high customer satisfaction ratings by eliminating excess customer service layers. Technical support is just a single phone call away.
