CrystalTech's New Datacenter

I don’t, too often, blog about CT upgrades unless it is big. This one definitely falls under the “big” category. I’m not going to go over all of the points rather I’ll paste some of the notes from CT’s president Robert Cichon’s email to CT customers.

To learn more, see photos and view an interactive layout of our new infrastructure, check out http://www.crystaltech.com/CTdatacenter.aspx

From the interactive layout, here are some of the points I felt are key to this new facility:

State-of-the-art security measures

  •  2 full multi-leveled 24X7X365 teams, eliminating all invalid entry possibilities
  •  Motion-recorded video surveillance system and biometric retinal scanning with a
     man-trap entry point

Absolute best in environmental management

  •  Balanced air handling and optimized air distribution
  •  State of the art humidification system
  •  A+B cooling loops and heat exchanger bypass with redundant pumps

Massive redundant energy generation

  •  Multiple redundant diesel generators with on site fuel reserves
  •  Top-quality Uninterruptible Power Supply systems (UPS)

Increased performance & redundant communication infrastructure

  •  Multiple Tier1 providers with full 10 GigE connectivity
  •  Multi-gigabit fiber backbone with a separate “maintenance” network
 Separate and redundant core network systems
