Our facilities are
located in the
Planet's data center [ private suite ].
The Planet's data centers are among the best-connected
hosting facilities in the world. Our data centers
are implemented through a high-speed network
specifically designed for dedicated server hosting.
The Planet has invested in both network equipment
and backbone connections to ensure that customers
get the fastest access possible to their content
and applications.
Facilities
The Planet owns and
operates a state of the art datacenter facilities
located in Dallas, Texas. The facility 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, The facility sit atop multiple
power grids driven
by TXU electric, we have multiple Liebert
UPS and PowerWare
UPS battery backup power, and 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 6 managed backbone providers.
Fire suppression includes a pre-action dry pipe
system in both facilities including VESDA
along with over 600 smoke detectors. Security
is also concern for The Planet and our customers
so all facilities are key card access with CCTV
for maximum security. The goal is to provide
maximum redundancy in every facet of the datacenter
environment to facilitate 100% uptime for our
entire hosting infrastructure.
Monitoring
We monitors all customer
equipment and datacenter infrastructure at
all times. Our internal monitoring system
is an open source code highly modified by
our technicians to satisfy our customer needs.
The IPAlert system monitors up to 16 different
services over a private or public IP network
without a client install. Our premium IPAlert
system also includes a client based monitoring
application that will allow us to drill down
and monitor all internal server services such
as ram usage, CPU usage, applications, services,
and internal temperature. The IPAlert system
is available online 24/7/365 for viewing services
and up to date statistical information. The
IPAlert system also houses key escalation
procedures designed and supplied by each customer
to ensure the correct escalation path is utilized
at the first sign of trouble. Our NOC personnel
monitor the IPAlert system 24/7/365 from both
datacenter locations with technician's onsite
around the clock to assist you in your needs.
Monitoring includes free "hands and eyes"
service to all customers for emergency situations
that require additional assistance.
We also monitors all internal
datacenter infrastructure through a commercial
software application called Datatrax©.
Datatrax allows our NOC technicians to monitor
electrical, UPS, HVAC, and generator systems
from their desktops. This information is key
in controlling the datacenter environmentals
and to make certain all equipment is housed
in the most favorable conditions. Click here

Datatrax will protect your investment.
Network Infrastructure
Our internal network architecture
utilizes the Enterprise routing and switching
engines from Juniper
and Cisco.
We utilize Juniper
M20 routers as border routers, Cisco
6500 series switches in our distribution
layer, Cisco 6500 and 5500 switches in our
aggregation layers, and Cisco 3500 and 2900
series switches at the customer layer. The
data center have multiple network connections
to different Internet
backbones, allowing data to be distributed
though many sources - meaning that our network
is not dependent upon any single Internet
backbone. Our network is fully meshed and
redundant with 2 backbone providers. Our current
network consists of, HE.net
(1000Mbps fiber uplink) and Yipes
OC3 (100 Mbps) multihomed,
