VisionOnline’s co-located servers in its Tier 1 Provider facility (NY1) boasts more than 20,000 square feet of state-of-the-art technologies. It has been designed with just one goal in mind -- keeping client equipment running optimally at all times to support their business success. From a tight security protocol to an advanced power system, the NY1 facility offers the ultimate in efficiency and redundancy for co-location facilities.

The Tier 1 Provider shares the clients' concerns about the security of customer equipment and data, and employs a series of measures designed to protect all of its customers' vital assets. Physical security includes secure access and 24x7 monitoring. Proof of identity is required from visitors, and is checked against client-defined access lists. All visits are logged, and surveillance cameras capture activity within secured areas.

Customer equipment is secured within locked cabinets for added compartmentalization and security. These cabinets are accessed with an individual pin code and special proximity card. NY1 facility is also designed to protect data. Unlike other facilities, which aggregate their customers through the use of hubs, the NY1 facility hosts every client on a dedicated Ethernet segment, preventing clients from sniffing each other's traffic within the facility.

ADVANCED POWER SUPPLY ASSURES NON-STOP OPERATION

The NY1 facility is serviced by a world-class power system that delivers superior redundancy and reliability. At its center is the Automatic Transfer Control Logic (ATCL) system, which constantly monitors the entire power system and automatically draws power from the most reliable of multiple sources. The ATCL system ensures that the highest quality, most reliable power will always be delivered to client's systems. In addition, the facility has draw-out breakers throughout the facility. These state-of-the art draw-out breakers permit maintenance and replacement of feeder breakers without de-energizing the critical load switchboard -- allowing maintenance teams to perform far more proactive scheduled maintenance without client outages than other data centers. 

Internet Connectivity is provided by the Tier-1 network provider and has an all fiber-optic network that spans entire United States with direct connections to Europe and to major Asia-Pacific countries. The all fiber-optic Tier-1 network has 30Gbit/s (30000Mbits/s) of capacity with over 380 peering arrangements and 1000 sessions with other major Internet Providers and to the original Internet backbone. Both the Tier-1 network provider and VisionOnline provide continuous (24/7) professional management of the network, facilities and servers. 

In addition the first phase of our Tier-1 network provider’s network has just been completed. This now means that VisionOnline servers have direct access to the following Internet connections to major cities all connected via a fully meshed Cisco 12000 Router based network (redundancy in HSRP mode) from within the server facility.
