Cloud Server Hosting

High Availability (HA) allows for an automatic restart on diverse hardware within the VMware cluster should hardware or software failure occur.
SAN Storage provides Highly Available redundant storage for advanced VMware Features
DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler allows VDS servers to be balanced across physical hardware to ensure best possible resource optimization
The VDS's are deployed across enterprise class infrastructure, Highly Available redundant SAN storage provides the foundation for VMware enterprise features (FT & HA) with full layer 2 and layer 3 N+1 architecture. Clustered compute nodes ensure your VDS performs at the level you demand and expect from this enterprise grade platform.

Data Center Specs

Main Supply

Power to all hosting systems is conditioned and supported by 4 high capacity UPS.
Power is distributed through multiple Power Distribution Units (PDUs).
The environment is supported via a high capacity generator supply
In the event of an interruption to mains supply, Power loads will be temporarily supported by UPS battery power while the on-site generator is engaged. If the interruption is brief, the power loads will remain supported by the UPS, otherwise the power loads will be automatically transferred to the generator supply.

Air Conditioning

The Data Centre has 18+ Process cooling units, of which four are separate air cooled units.
All air conditioning units are supported by the emergency power backup systems.

Building Management

The Building Management System (BMS) that provides automated control and monitoring of all building services and environmental support systems.
Critical functions are alarmed and monitored 24x7 by staff for immediate intervention and control.
Critical environmental services are continuously monitored.

Fire Detection and Suppression

Fire detection systems installed in the IDC include Passive Smoke Detectors (under floor, ceiling and above ceiling), Thermal Detectors (under floor, ceiling and above ceiling) and VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus). The fire detection systems are integrated with the BMS, and monitored by the NOC.
VESDA detects early signs of smoke particles within the data centre by actively sampling the air.

Security

Physical and electronic security is managed by the Security/Administration office.
Entry into the Data Center is via the Main Reception which has a staffed Security Station. Access is strictly by appointment.
Customer security cages in the Data Hall are individually keyed. Issuing of keys is controlled by the Security/Administration office.
CCTV cameras are continually active
The site has ASIO T4 certification and ISO 27001 certification.

Cabling Topology & Data Providers

Multiple telecommunications carriers are used to supply the external data communications links, enabling external connectivity redundancy. Currently these providers are Vocus Connect, Pipe Networks, Verizon and UECOMM
Category-6 cabling is used throughout the facility, and fibre-based connections can be used between the Data Hall and Node.
All cabling is laid in suspended trays that run under walkways between the caged areas. This design allows ready access for laying new cables to a new or existing cage, without having to enter a customer’s caged area.
Power and data are segregated as per Australian electrical and telecommunications installation standards.
