Canadian
Hosting is located in two state of the art datacenter facilities located in Dallas,
Texas USA and Edmonton, Alberta Canada. Both facilities offer complete redundancy
in power, HVAC, fire suppression, network connectivity, and security. With over
35,000 sq ft of raised floor and 15,000 sq ft of static free tile in the Dallas
facility, Canadian Hosting has an offering to fit any need. Both facilities sit
atop multiple power grids driven by TXU electric and EPCOR, with the Dallas facilities
having multiple Liebert and PowerWare UPS battery backup power, and both facilities
have onsite permanent
generator power.
Our
HVAC systems are a combination of glycol, chilled water, and condenser units by
Liebert and Data Aire to provide redundancy in cooling coupled with 9 managed
backbone providers. Twelve more third party backbone providers are available in
the Dallas building via cross connect. Fire suppression includes a pre-action
dry pipe system including VESDA (very early smoke detection apparatus) along with
over 600 smoke detectors in the Dallas location. Security is also a concern, so
Both facilities are key card access with Dallas having CCTV for maximum security.
All
visitors to the datacenters must check in and out of the facility. The goal is
to provide maximum redundancy in every facet of the datacenter environment to
facilitate 100% uptime for your entire hosting infrastructure.
