The MindCentric
approach is to align site capacity to business needs, creating
an optimal customer experience minus unnecessary overcharges
and provisioning costs. Similar to just-in-time inventory
practices, MindCentric monitors
site performance metrics for pre-planned scale upgrades aligned
to business growth.
MindCentric
has engineered a network system independent of the real estate
and hardware constraints of the old world. Our HostingCity™
architecture is based on a combination of facilities. The
primary data center houses the 24x7 Network Operation Center
(NOC), all of our security devices, servers, networking routers,
switches, and SAN equipment. Our secondary data center is
utilized for high availability solutions. Both facilities
have full redundancy from power, AC, to multiple ISPs. Multiple
diesel generators can sustain the data center for 18 hours,
and if more fuel is needed, it is on contract for automatic
refuel. Each generator is started weekly. Multiple UPS systems
are in place to power the data center for over an hour, even
though it only take a few minutes for the generator to kick
in. The network is Cisco powered. The data center sits
directly on the Internet backbone (OC-192) and has 10 in-building
providers. There are redundant paths to the backbone, using
multiple ISPs. There are also redundant AC systems and a fire
suppression system.
