Micfo.com Network Operations Center
(NOC) is served by separate high-speed
fiber optic connections and utilizes
multiple Tier-1 Internet backbone
providers. The facility is fitted
with waterless fire-suppression systems,
UPS and back-up generators, and environmental
controls to ensure high-quality, uninterrupted
service. The NOC is continuously monitored
24 hours a day, seven days a week.
We've taken several crucial measures
to make our world-class network infrastructure
reliable and secure:

Imagine having the top 10 Tier One Providers
in 1 our Chicago
datacenter. Now Imagine have a routing
technology that is smart enough to choose
the best route from one of the top 10 providers!
Physical
security for safeguarding your site and
data
At our datacenter
in Chicago, the latest in camera systems
monitors both interior and exterior facilities
around the clock. Access is limited to authorized
personnel only, and strictly enforced by
electronic access cards, biometrics scanning,
and guards.
Environmental control features for maximum
reliability
To reduce web
hosting downtime, our centers feature
advanced fire suppression systems, surge
suppression, specialized heat and smoke
sensors, separate fire zones below the floor
and above the ceiling, raised flooring for
improved server environment, as well as
temperature, humidity, static and airborne
particle controls.
Redundant systems to maximize your connectivity
and uptime
We build in redundancy to ensure that your
site is open for business. This includes
Cisco routers, Layer 2 and 3 switches, our
power system generator in addition to our
regular grid electrical power, and our backbone.
Each server is protected by our fire suppression
system and multiple air conditioning systems
(HVAC: Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning).
In addition, we keep a supply of drives,
network cards, processors, motherboards
and every other piece of equipment that
has even a remote chance of failure. We
also use a multiple-SCSI backup cluster
system for data storage and recovery.

Our
datacenter
in London, UK is fully switched,
with multiple redundant routers, and
multiple connections to different
ISPs, allowing us to provide absolute
availability of the network with no
down time. Our uk
dedicated servers are all located
in carrier-neutral data centers in
Docklands, London. We use exclusively
Redbus data centers, due to their
class-leading SLA, security and power
facilities. Redbus also has the great
advantage of being carrier-neutral,
allowing us to connect to several
providers for redundancy. The network
is designed around a high-speed switched
architecture. Each server is plugged
into at least a 100mbit, fully-switched
port on an edge switch. |
Each edge switch is then in turn plugged into
two separate aggregation switches at 1gbit,
with fail-over redundancy allowing either
1gbit link to fail.

Security
Our UK datacenter
feature totally comprehensive 24/7 security.
This includes the protection of security barriers,
24x7x365 monitoring by on-site personnel to
include visual verification of all persons
entering the building, CCTV video camera surveillance
and a security breach alarm provides the control
room with information. All persons entering
the data floor have proximity tags to gain
access which are logged and verified.
Power
Within our London
datacenter, we have a scalable and sustainable
power supply. A minimum of 1Kw per square
meter secure power is available, with power
isolated between customer and maintained indefinitely,
plus on-site generation which can deal with
both customer and plant load whilst recharging
the UPS. All the facilities are built to at
least an N+1 standard; put simply, this means
that if two generators are required to provide
nonstop power, then there’ll be three
installed. So rather than guaranteeing 99.99%
availability, the guarantee is 100%.
Fire Protection
The fire detection and suppression system
is one of the most advanced available. Very
Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) is
installed in every facility. These highly
sensitive aspirating smoke detectors are linked
to the Building Management system which is
monitored continually from a network operations
center, provide very early detection. This
is coupled with a gas based fire retardant
that is environmentally friendly, to put out
fires instantly, without damaging equipment.
Air Conditioning
To ensure optimum performance for your UK
dedicated server, all data floors are
maintained at a constant 21°C ±
2°C and relative humidity is kept at 50%
± 10%. Both are continually monitored
via the building management system.
