Our Data Center is a world-class facility, and the first of its kind in San Diego. Completed in March 1998, our 2000 square-foot, 150 rack Data Center meets the high security and protection demands of any Internet presence. The SimpleNet Data Center has redundant systems for connectivity, electrical power, air conditioning and fire suppression to ensure that your Internet presence is always available.

The SimpleNet Data Center is monitored 24 hours per day, 7 days per week and 365 days per year. Our staff is committed and trained to provide you with continual, high-level network monitoring and load management of your connection. In addition, we offer engineering support for outage response, network performance analysis and network planning.

SimpleNet maintains connections to multiple upstream providers to provide redundancy and reliability for your connection to the Internet. These connections are multiple DS-3s (45Mb/s) with providers such as: Sprint, Level3, and Verio. SimpleNet optimizes the path your data takes so your customers don't have to wait.

The SimpleNet Data Center features a positive pressure, computer clean room with double filtration of fresh air before entering the center. In addition each air conditioner continuously filters the air within the room.

The Data Center offers up to 60 tons of redundant air conditioning. Each of the 6 air conditioning units handles 10 tons of cooling capacity and is fully independent from other units. This allows maintenance to be preformed or a failure of a unit without affecting your Internet presence.

In order to provide optimum performance, the condensing units are located on the same floor as the Data Center and are vented outside through custom louvers designed specifically for SimpleNet.

Inergen™ is an environmentally green, three-dimensional fire suppression agent. Inergen™ provides Data Centers with a non-water based agent that:

  · Is electrically nonconductive
  · Is safe for use in human occupied facilities
  · Does not damage sensitive electronic equipment
  · Has zero ozone depletion, zero global warming, and zero atmospheric lifetime

Inergen™ is a blend of three naturally occurring gases - Nitrogen, Argon, and Carbon Dioxide. stored in cylinders within the Data Center.

The Inergen™ system is like no other modern suppression system in use today. This system lowers the oxygen content of the room to a point sufficient to sustain human life, but insufficient to support combustion.

Because its not a chemical agent, the Inergen™ gas will not produce a heavy fog the way other extinguishing agents do, so escape routes remain visible. The Inergen™ gas discharges through specially designed nozzles fitted with discharge deflectors so that turbulence is minimized.
