Power Systems and Back Up

- 35-kilovolt primary feed established from PG&E
- Ten 2.1 megawatt Hitec CPS (Continuous Power Systems) units on-site, identical to  

  power backup systems utilized by the U.S. Department of Treasury, NATO Radar Silo

  installations, Intel, IBM and the air forces of Israel and Brazil.
- Power backup system features N+2 redundant architecture with multiple levels

  of manual bypass for system maintenance.
- Each server room equipped with multiple static transfer switch PDU’s (Power Distribution

  Units), redundantly fed from separate sources.
- State-of-the-art induction coupling (flywheel) system stores energy to cover power

  interruptions or switchover to backup power. Constant-on status provides power

  conditioning for critical loads.
- Less than 1/4 cycle (0.004 second) transfer time for any power outage or anomaly.
- Flywheel system eliminates need for legacy battery-based UPS systems, which account

  for 79% of core power failures in large-scale data center environments.
- 60,000 gallons of fuel stored on-site for 72 hour full-load power capacity.
- Contracts in place with two fuel providers for ongoing self-generation.
- Diesel fuel fill ports at building exterior for convenient tanker access during majorevents.

HVAC Systems and Backup

- Six 800-ton cooling towers provide N+2 redundant cooling water capacity.
- Redundant pumps (15), heat exchangers and valving allow for uninterrupted service at

  full capacity during any maintenance period.
- Multiple 20-ton CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioning) units cool up to 1,000,000

  kilowatts load in each computing area with N+2 level redundancy.
- Automated energy-saving climate and building management controls monitor and adjust

  all points in the HVAC systems.
- Diverse loop system allows water supply & return to be established at various points in

  any direction.
- State of the art leak detectors continuously monitor computing room areas, with

  accuracy to 12 inches.
- Capacity to cool rack/cabinet densities up to 350 watts per square foot.

- 300,000-gallon make-up water tank provides up to 14 days of water supply
- Redundant make-up water and building water pumps provide 2N capacity to cooling

  tower’s water supply.
- Chemical treatment stations minimize HVAC system corrosion.

Security and Safety

- CCTV monitoring 24/7/365 by both hidden & visible CCTV systems in all essential

  perimeter and interior areas. Remote joystick control of camera heads. All surveillance

  videotape is archived on-site.
- Designed for on-site security staff 24/7/365 with responsibility for access control, CCTV

  monitoring, and asset protection for facility.

- Outer perimeter walls of computing spaces are Level III resistant against bullet and

   explosive attacks.
- Card access system controls all entry points.
- Physical alarms on stairwells and exterior doors.
- Limited access by authorized personnel only beyond lobby entrance.
- Key access only to computing vaults, cages and cabinets.
- Computing areas are separated by access codes. Tenants will have access to their

  specific locations only.
- Proprietary alarm systems within tenant spaces.
- Corridors remotely sealable from CCTV station to create “man-trap”.
- Equipment and parcels checked in at front desk.

Connectivity

- Two connection entry vaults at building property line, currently supporting thousands of

  strands of fiber-optic cable.
- Redundant cable and fiber-optic vaults guarantee room for massive network expansion

  through multiple existing duct banks.
- Diverse, redundant paths to MDF and Telco rooms.
- Telco environments with 8,000 amps of DC distribution are available on the first floor.
- One MDF (Main Distribution Frame) room per two computing rooms, assuring survivability

  through an isolated disaster.
- POP (Point of Presence) services on-site.
- Cross Connecting services available on-site.

Intelligent Planning & Design

- Highly sophisticated Building Monitoring System operates 24/7/365 with forensic

  capabilities.
- Network-neutral connection platform located on first floor. Easy access to multiple carrier

  cross connects.
- Easy-access data center floor plates are raised 24” above cement, with identical central

  trunk architecture on each floor for shortest wire runs.
- Laser-based VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection) combines with heat detectors in

  tightly defined zones. Fire events are quickly isolated and extinguished without impact to

  surrounding areas.
- Ceilings have pre-installed main run cable troughs for connectivity to MDF (Main

  Distribution Frame) rooms.
- Central MDF rooms are isolated from computing floor areas.
