ELECTRIC POWER - The facility’s onsite substation is served by two overhead 138kV transmission lines originating from two separate power generating sources.  The sub-station currently provides 25MVA redundant service to the facility and is expandable to 45MVA redundant.  Voltage (12.5kV) is stepped down to 480V inside the facility with electric redundancy ultimately terminating at primary and secondary load centers throughout the facility. Electric power is provided by OG&E (a publicly traded utility) at a wholesale billing rate, offering 3 very attractive electrical rates and lower opperating costs.  

COOLING - The facility is cooled by four 1250 ton York Lithium Bromide Chillers with their required steam generated by four 32 MBTU Cleaver Brooks boilers.  The boilers are fueled by natural gas with diesel fuel as an inter-changeable alternative.

FIBER – The facility has access to self-healing fiber optic services from three fiber network providers on five diverse entrances to the site. Available fiber optic networks include SONET (DS-0, DS-1, DS-3, OC-3 to OC192), RPR (DS-0, DS-1, DS-3, Ethernet 3 Mbps to multiple Gig-E), and HFC (DS-0 voice, video, and Cable Modem to 10 Mbps/1Mbps. DWDM services at 10 Gig, multiple 10 Gig, or Fibre Channel services. Virtually unlimited bandwidth is available from Cox Communications, AT&T, Qwest, Verizon/MCI, Sprint, Level 3/WilTel/Broadwing, or any other desired carrier. Nationwide Long-Haul Ethernet services are available as well OC-(N+1) carrier access. PSTN access is provided via a Nortel DMS500 (Class 4 & 5 switch fabric) with VOIP tandem. Carrier provided VOIP and SIP trunking is available within the year. ILEC facilities are also available to provide complete route/network diversity.

Internet services are available at multi-Gigabit speed, provided from five NAP’s on diverse routes out of Oklahoma City. Because of this robust connectivity, overall nationwide trace route latency from this site is among the very lowest in the nation.

FIRE SUPPRESSION – The facility is served by a “wet pipe” system that would easily convert, within a Data Center environment, to either a “dry pipe” or FM 200 type system.  Fire Suppression at 160 psi would ultimately be powered by two diesel primary fire pumps and an electric fire pump (with diesel generator back-up) powered generator. Three 12” City waterlines supply onsite water storage of 1.5 millon gallons.

SECURITY – The facility is served by a “card reader system” at all personnel entry points including the Security Checkpoints located at all locations of vehicle entry.  Security cameras are in place at all Security Checkpoints as well.  This system and infrastructure of conduits for power, data, phone, and fiber, is easily convertible to a biometric based systems.
