Sparkstation works closely with QALA to host their servers in their datacenter that is designed to provide an environment necessary to keep your servers running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We have the following protection systems in place to ensure maximum operation regardless of the disruption:

Power
Sparkstation power system is made up of:

• Commercial Utility Underground Conduits
• Redundant UPS System
• 30-45 minutes of backup time (Industry Standard: 15 minutes)
• Multiple incoming power supplies
• Dual-feed secondary switchboard and critical load distribution boards
• Backup Diesel Generator

Security
Security is paramount to all our customers. Hence, the datacenter and network have been designed with that in mind. We provide a comprehensive security system which includes:

• visitation controls
• visitation logging
• dedicated Ethernet system,
• network monitoring

All visitors to the datacenter are identified against a client-defined access control list. Each visitor is also issued a badge and his entry and exit to the center is logged. Visitors in the datacenter are monitored from an open glass view panel. Each server housed in Sparkstation's datacenter is connected via a dedicated Ethernet switch rather than hubs. This arrangement protects the confidentiality of traffic within our network and ensures no other server housed on our network can tap the data flowing through our network.

Environment

• Raised Flooring
• HVAC temperature control systems
• Separate Cooling zones
• Individual Rack Level Circuit Breaker

Our datacenter is equipped with multiple units of conditioning units, a complete FM-200 fire suppression system, a complete smoke detection system and a piped sprinkler system. Each rack is also earth-grounded and has its own individual circuit breaker for that extra redundancy.
