Network
Our servers are located in ThePlanet's world-class data center. The Planet
currently owns and operates two state-of-the-art data centers in Dallas, Texas,
offering complete redundancy in power, HVAC, fire suppression, network
connectivity, and security. With over 53,000 sq ft of raised floor between the
two facilities, The Planet has an offering to fit any need. Our product
offerings include private caged suites, cabinets, half-cabinets, tri-cabinets,
and rackspace by the Unit. The datacenter facility sits atop multiple power
grids driven by TXU electric, with PowerWare UPS battery backup power and dual
diesel generators onsite. Our HVAC systems are condenser units by Data Aire to
provide redundancy in cooling coupled with nine managed backbone providers.
Twelve more third party backbone providers are available in the building via
cross connect. Fire suppression includes a pre-action dry pipe system including
VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) with over 700 smoke detectors
between the two facilities.
Our Intel PIII to PIV 1 GHz to 2.8 GHz servers are part of a network that have
high speed redundant Internet connectivity as shown below:
