Network and Security
When it comes to protecting your greatest
business asset, your data, we want you to be totally confident that Data Vault
is the best backup solution for your organization. For this reason, we have
contracted with Superb for professional onsite management and technical support
of our data storage equipment and telecommunications infrastructure.
Our equipment is located in McLean, Virginia. The Northern Virginia area is not
subject to earthquakes, tornadoes, floods or other natural disasters. We are
located at the true heart of the Internet, and in a very safe and secure area.
This central location ensures optimal connectivity and speed. 
The Data Center is a US military / NSA (National Security Agency) standard
compliant "tempest room", a Data Vault. Your data is fully secure from
electrical or magnetic interference, as well as safe from physical attack on the
facilities. Your critical data is
maintained in a secure "data vault".
Access to the facility is closely controlled and monitored by closed circuit TV
monitors. Keycard access is required to enter the data center which is
manned by uniformed security guards.
The Data Center is staffed by highly experienced Systems & Network
Administrators 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and features multiple heavy-duty
UPS (uninterrupted power) systems, multiple diesel generators, and AC systems.
Multiple OC-192 SONET rings each consists of two redundant OC-192s traversing
two separate paths and having two diverse routes to our facilities, thus
providing the ultimate in reliability and performance. Even if both of the lines
are cut at any point, the OC-192 ring is still operational, with less than 50 ms
(0.05 second) self-healing restoration time.
The multiple private SONET rings provide us the ultimate in reliability: no
downtime even in the case of a major fiber cut in the area (due to separate
paths and multiple fibers).
Every aspect of the network is fully redundant: there is no single point of
failure.
Data Vault uses highly-reliable Dell servers with multiple fiber-attached RAID-5
storage arrays. For added reliability, hot- spare drives which automatically
activate should any physical disk failure be detected. Along with daily backups,
all systems are
continuously monitored using predictive failure technology. Copyright © 2001,-
