Network Operations Center
Flighthost.com recognizes that downtime is not an option for
your servers. That's why we invest heavily in hardware and facilities
that ensure that your site is up and running on the web 24 hours
a day, seven days a week.
Flighthost's Network Operations Center (NOC) features raised
flooring. This enables a constant flow of conditioned air and
helps to maintain uniform room temperature at all times. In
addition, raised flooring reduces static and ensures a professional,
computer-grade environment for your servers. The facility
is equipped with a Raytheon fire suppression system, designed
to immediately extinguish fire and protect equipment and personnel.
The command center is controlled via automatic doors to further
secure and protect the equipment.
Finally, the NOC is located in a secure, monitored, class A
building with a minimum number of approved personnel allowed
access to highly sensitive areas and equipment. A detailed record
of employee and visitor entry is maintained at all times. |
