Network Operations Center
Customers Deserve Uptime!
The GIS data center provides the Tier
1 infrastructure required to remain competitive in today's
tough e-business environment. Our distinguished customers
must have their servers available 24x7x365, without
exception. At GIS, we employ every reasonably
available commercial technology to achieve this goal.
From connectivity and power, to HVAC, our Ashburn data
center has been engineered to avoid any single point
of failure.
With uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems and
emergency backup diesel generators, our electrical distribution
system is designed to power your systems, even during
a blackout.
UPS systems prevent power spikes, surges and brownouts
while redundant backup diesel generators provide additional
fuel to keep the data center powered up in the event
that public utility fails. The entire electrical system
has built-in redundancy to guarantee continuous operation.
The overall system is N+1 redundant, including each
component within the parallel electrical systems.
Keep unwanted guests away from
your equipment!
A combination of biometric hand geometry readers, an
encrypted database and visual confirmation ensure that
only authorized individuals have appropriate access
to the GIS data center. Using Recognition
Systems, Inc's Handkey® ll Access Control
Reader, GIS has proven, biometric technology.
Because authorized personnel must pass through biometric
hand scanners at every access point, GIS
is able to keep track of where and when someone has
entered and exited the facility.
