JavaPie's NOC details
JavaPie IS
CONNECTED TO THREE MAJOR BACKBONES. We use the same provider as Yahoo.com and
Google. The JavaPie NOC, located in Baltimore, Maryland, is OnNet with
GlobalCenter (GC), Qwest Communications and GTE through three separate
bandwidth-on-demand connections that enter Baltimore in our building.
GC, a Tier 1 provider with a 13,000-mile fiber optic network and Dense Wave
Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology that provides an enormous 460 gigabytes
per second (Gbps) of capacity worldwide, has an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
fiber node located just a few floors below the JavaPie NOC.
Qwest comes into Baltimore with an OC-12 line and plans to upgrade its
connection to an OC-48 in the near future. Qwest also has an ATM fiber node just
floors below the JavaPie NOC. Our Qwest connection enables JavaPie to offer
additional redundancy and better routes to Europe, Latin America and Asia. With
our carriers, our router has up to 150,000 possible routes to send each packet
of traffic.
Genuity, a division of GTE, is our third Tier One Internet backbone. Genuity
provides excellent network performance as a result of high-speed peering
arrangements with other Tier One Internet backbone providers. The GTE global
network delivers customers directly onto the Internet via a high-speed
connection to its private, super-capacity backbone, including 17,000 miles of
fiber and OC192 capacity. It is comprised of more than 800 U.S. local access
points and approximately 1,500 international local access points in more than
150 countries.
PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY
JavaPie recognizes that downtime is not an option for your
servers. That's why we invest heavily in hardware and facilities that ensure
that your clients are up and running on the web 24 hours a day, seven days a
week.
NETWORK OPERATIONS CENTER (NOC)
JavaPie's Network Operations Center (NOC) features raised
flooring. This enables a constant flow of conditioned air and helps to maintain
uniform room temperature at all times. In addition, raised flooring reduces
static and ensures a professional, computer-grade environment for your servers.
FIRE PRECAUTIONS
The facility is equipped with a Raytheon fire suppression
system, designed to immediately extinguish fire and protect equipment and
personnel. The command center is controlled via automatic doors to further
secure and protect the equipment.
SECURITY
The NOC is located in a secure, monitored, class A building with a minimum
number of approved personnel allowed access to highly sensitive areas and
equipment. A detailed record of employee and visitor entry is maintained at all
times.
