These locations, together with the extensive public and private peering arrangements, are designed to maximize the customer's Internet reach, bandwidth capacity and to optimize performance.

To ensure that customer's data’s security, iPowerWeb facilities are staffed 24 hours a day with on-site guards and equipped with both interior and exterior closed circuit television.

Servers
iPowerWeb uses the best servers in the industry, they are extremely fast and reliable. We conducted some pings on 5 different sites hosted by iPowerWeb. We compared the ping time to globat and lunarpages servers and the response times were upto 40% faster in some cases.

iPowerWeb uses industry leading equipment like Dell™ PowerEdge and HP ProLiant™ Servers, Cisco™ Firewalls and Routers and premium bandwidth through their partnership with AT&T and Cable & Wireless. They have two world-class quality Tier 1 Internet Data Centers which are optimized to provide an industry-leading web, data, and applications hosting environment. These centers are designed to stay up and running, protected from power failure, physical intrusion and network outages by extensive back-up power and cooling systems, multi-layered security, and network redundancy and diversity. iPowerWeb Data Centers are connected to the Internet using the highest performing OC48/OC192 IP backbone available.

Backup
To ensure that all iPowerWeb servers, monitoring equipment, and infrastructure are fully protected during a power failure, iPowerWeb's Internet Data Centers are equipped with redundant dual AC and DC power feeds with multiple backup systems. This includes generators to support the Internet Data Centers in the case of utility power failure. These generators support all Center infrastructure including: UPS, PDUs, connectivity, security, air conditioning, chillers, pumps, fire suppression, and life safety equipment. The stand-by diesel generators are provided at N+1 capacity for redundancy and have with a three-day fuel capacity stored on site. Fuel vendors are under contract to "stand-by" in the event of an extended outage.

To guard against power loss, IPOWERWEB has incorporated dedicated emergency power systems into every Internet Data Center. For further protection, they ’ve instituted a minimum of N+1 electrical infrastructure for support of systems operations, including Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and Power Distribution Units (PDUs).

Climate
Redundant cooling, heating and humidity controls keep iPowerWeb servers in an optimum operating environment.

Fire Suppression System
IPOWERWEB Internet Data Centers are equipped with fully redundant fire detection and suppression systems. These include the VESDA advanced fire detection system — 100 times more sensitive than conventional fire detection systems, an additional cross-zoned fire detection system, and either the ozone-safe Inergen "clean agent" fire suppression system, or pre-action (dry type) sprinkler systems.
