Datacenter Environmental Redundant datacenter grade HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) systems configured as N+1 redundancy to ensure proper cooling in event of HVAC unit malfunction. Fire suppression sprinkler system with Pre-action pipes to stop fire from spreading in the Datacenter facility. FM 200 fire suppression systems installed in some areas of the datacenter. Monitored heat detection systems.	Conditioned Power UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) systems are installed in our datacenters to provide conditioned power to all equipment. Wow's UPS design will also provide short term protection against any unexpected power losses. This allows allow enough time for the main power to be transferred to the building Backup generator. Backup Generator systems are installed to provide long term projection against utility power loss. Our datacenters have multiple service contracts with local fueling companies the event of a city-wide power loss. Backup Generators are routinely tested to ensure proper uptime and reliability during any extended periods of city or building power failures.
Network Wowrack datacenters are running on a 100% fully redundant Cisco enterprise network with BGP and HSRP protocols. Flow Control Protocols are enabled to ensure high network service levels with low latencies and high availability. Multi Gigabit and 10-Gigabit capable backbone providers. Wowrack's network is directly peered with over 100 other networks which include the nation’s largest ISP, corporations and Internet Organizations.	Staff Wowrack staff monitors its network 24 x 7 x365 to ensure SLA and systems availability. Our automated process allows our engineers to be notified of any downtime and our automatic restore processes reduce our manual workloads. Wowrack's professional staff include certified engineers in fields such as Cisco, Microsoft, CISSP, and Red Hat.
