The facility houses 56 server racks, each supported by two independent service providers, with connections routed through both a dedicated Demarcation Room and a Disaster Recovery Room to provide continuous operation and fault tolerance. A redundant fiber backbone, utilizing both multimode and singlemode cabling, links the data center and disaster recovery infrastructure to every Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF) throughout the building, supporting secure, high-speed connectivity across the campus.
To safeguard uninterrupted operations, the data center is powered by two 400 kVA Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) configured in a redundant arrangement and backed by the facility’s emergency generator systems. Together, these systems create a robust, resilient infrastructure platform capable of supporting the organization’s evolving technology needs while maintaining business continuity and operational security.
