Located in the heart of downtown Orlando, our data center has had many advantages
available but it was all hard work to get started. In the end, there is nothing like being
able to say that we own all of our own equipment. Our 100% Cisco and Linux powered network
was built and is maintained by our technicians. When a problem arises, our tech's are the
ones to respond.

Nic4u Data Center
75% of web hosting companies do not have their own Data Center and have
no access to their servers without the assistance of a 3rd party. If an issue ever arises,
we can physically go to the server within 10 minutes and address the issue without relying
on someone else. That is priceless and peace of mind for you, the client.
Security.
Access to the data center floors is restricted to those holding military grade pass cards.
Furthermore, complete access to our floor is only permitted by allowance from the security
guards at the front desk, around the clock. You can be safe in the knowledge that only a
handful of highly trained, level-three technicians will be allowed within close physical
proximity to your server.
Equipment.
All of our routers and switches are made by Cisco. Cisco is a tried and true manufacturer
and we use nothing but the best, so Cisco is our only choice for all network hardware. We
have made major and wise investments with them because we feel that using industry leading
equipment that has a proven track record is the best choice, and is well worth the extra
expense.
Connectivity.
Our connections are the best connections, ran straight into our data center and your
servers are the first to get zapped with these unrestrained highways. Nic4u Noc is located
in a multi-homed connection. We do not use 1 carrier nor do we use cheap cogent bandwidth.
We are connected to TIER 1 providers!
Our main lines are,
Level3 gigE , UUNET OC-12, and TimeWarner OC-48
Our bandwidth power is limitless for your account ...only according to your plan. ;)
OC-48 = 2,488 Mbps ... .....OC-12 =
655 Mbps .. .......gigE = 1,000 Mbps
Power.
The power systems in our data center are designed to run uninterrupted even in the
unlikely event of a total power outage. All servers are fed with conditioned UPS
(Uninterruptible Power Supply) power that will run if utility power fails. The UPS power
subsystem is "N+1" redundant with instantaneous fail over in case the primary
UPS fails.
Environment.
Our data center's HVAC (Heating and Ventilation Air Conditioning) system is
"N+1" redundant to ensure that - even in the event of an entire HVAC system
failure - there is a duplicate system on standby to take over. An advanced
fire-suppression system is in place to prevent any fire from spreading - in the unlikely
event that one could start. All cables to servers and routing equipment are securely tied
down, and cable racks suspended from the ceiling provide dual routes for all cables.This
is so in the event that all cables on a cable rack are cut or burned, packets of data will
automatically be routed to a second set of cables on the other side of the data center.
Climate control.
We have 4 Data Aire air conditioning units that provide optimal conditions for
equipment operations. Climate control means that the air conditioning units monitor the
temperature outside of the building and compare it to the temperature inside of the
building. Of course, it is much more complicated than that description. Basically the
important factors are that the temperature is maintained at a balance of the two, and also
the humidity, airflow, and cleanliness of the air is monitored. This is why
our servers run so smooth and fast.
Expertise.
We invest a significant amount of time and money into our staff to make sure that they are
knowledgeable and are capable of helping and handling our customers with patience and
care. They also invest a great amount of time and care into us, knowing that they are
working with a company that places people first and affordable pricing to get their dreams
online. A company is only as good as the people who manage it. A network is only as good
as the people who manage it. It all takes teamwork, and expertise.
Monitoring.
That talented staff we speak of works around the clock to ensure that our network is
operating at the most optimum state. We continually review our collected statistics and
with very precise care and attention. We closely watch for traffic trends so that we can
react with the proper routing adjustments and bandwidth additions. We choose to have a
monitoring system projected on an entire wall and viewable at all times by anyone who
walks into our offices.
