Recovery Point offers a series of interconnected, company-owned hosting sites equipped to offer the flexibility, scalability and availability needed in an ever-changing business environment.
In an industry where the terms “redundant infrastructure” and “secure hosting” are greatly overused, Recovery Point’s newest hosting site stands apart. It is demonstrably the most sophisticated and secure facility commercially available today.
Built on a company-owned, 17-acre parcel equipped with anti-ram vehicle perimeter barriers, the newest Recovery Point hosting facility has been designed to meet the High Level Threat design criteria for blast protection as published by GSA’s Interagency Security Committee. Design highlights include:
Electrical
• Dual underground power feeds via dispersed entrances
• Up to 10 Megawatt reserve power generation with N+1 configuration
• Seven-day, on-site fuel supply at full load
• Dual-corded internal power distribution
• 2N UPS support with 10-minute power supply at full load
Network
• Carrier-neutral services.
• Dark fiber to carrier hotels for cross connects to all major providers.
• Primary and secondary East Coast facilities are linked by a 15-mile,bi-directional,
self-healing dark fiber ring to create a secure, geographically dispersed campus.
• Multiple lit Tier One providers with diverse paths and building entries.
• Dual DMARCs 300 feet apart supporting redundant fiber entries.
Mechanical
• Fully redundant chiller plant (2N).
• Dual-fuel boiler plant – natural gas or diesel.
