State of the Art Facility

Our web servers are housed within the Equinix Data Centers located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Web servers are directly connected to world-class fibre optic networks which ensure that your web site experiences superior performance in a fully-redundant and secure environment.


Web Servers
We deploy and maintain the latest in web server technology. All web sites are hosted on Dell web servers running Dual Quad Core Processors with 16 GB RAM and backended with NetApp Storage arrays. Speed, reliability and performance define our web server technology.


Physical Security
The physical security of the IBX data center is one of Equinix's highest priorities. Each data center utilizes an array of security equipment, techniques and procedures to control, monitor and record access to the facility. Some key features* include:

  • IBX is manned by onsite security on a 24x365 basis
  • All doors, including cages, are secured with biometric hand geometry readers
  • CCTV digital camera coverage of entire center, including cages, with archival system
  • A silent alarm and automatic notification of appropriate law enforcement officials protect all exterior entrances
  • CCTV integrated with access control and alarm system
  • Motion-detection for lighting and CCTV coverage
  • All equipment checked/screened upon arrival
  • Visitors are screened upon entry to verify their identity, and in shared situations, are escorted to their appropriate locations
  • Shipping and receiving area walled off from colocation areas


Network Security
Access to the data centres isn't only physical, we provide customers an unparalleled level of security via virus protection, enterprise class firewalls with a layered architecture, real-time security alerting using intrusion detection scanners, and 24 hour monitoring from our Certified Information Systems Security Professionals.


World Class Network
By combining bundles of fiber optics with the redundant network engineering on multiple tier 1 service providers, our networks are able to create alternate routes for data transmission. This maximizes the throughput speed and capacity of each strand of fiber-optic cable. The result is a fast and reliable network connection on which our customers can rely.


Power Systems
Equinix IBX data centers are designed with power systems that have built-in redundancy, full Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems with N+1 levels or greater, and backup generator systems in the event of a local utility failure.


Constant Cooling System
The precision HVAC systems cool the most demanding high-power deployments. The HVAC system provides appropriate airflow, temperature, and humidity to provide optimum conditions for equipment operation and to minimize downtime due to equipment failure.


Fire Suppression System
FM-200 is an environmentally safe, non-toxic, rapid-acting fire suppression agent. It was developed as a zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) replacement for Halon 1301.The system's primary role is to suppress any fire hazards before the pre-action system activates. The major benefit in a data centre is the reduction in damage to equipment in the event of a discharge, in comparison to a water based system.
