At Hostscreamer we utilize the services of a top of the line Data Center with proven track record for excellence, located in heart of downtown Orlando, FL. USA.

Orlando Data Center Highlights:
The 100% Cisco and Linux powered network is owned by the data center and maintained by highly trained, level-three technicians 24/7 365.5. Hostscreamer's leased servers are in very good hands at the Orlando Data Center.

Security
Access to the Orlando Data Center floors is restricted to those holding military grade pass cards. Furthermore, complete access to the server floor is only permitted by allowance from the security guards at the front desk, who are there 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 Hostscreamer's leased servers.

Equipment
All of the Orlando Data Center routers and switches are made by Cisco. Cisco is a tried and true manufacturer and the Orlando Data Center uses nothing but the best, so Cisco is their only choice for all network hardware. They have made major and wise investments with them because they feel that using industry leading equipment that has a proven track record is the best choice, and is well worth the extra expense.

Connectivity
The Orlando Data Center connections are the best connections. The Orlando Data Center utilizes a multi-homed connection. They do not use one carrier nor do they use "cheap" cogent bandwidth. The Orlando Data Center is connected to TIER 1 providers!

Main lines are:
UUNET DS-3
XO Communications DS3
TimeWarner OC-48

Bandwidth power for Hostscreamer is limitless.
Note:
OC-48 = 2.488 GG p/s
DS-3 = 45 MB p/s

Power
The power systems in the Orlando Data Center are designed to run uninterrupted even in the unlikely event of a total power outage. All Hostscreamer leased 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
The Orlando 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
The Orlando Data Center has 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. How clean and cool the air is inside of the data center is the reason Hostscreamer's leased servers run so smooth and fast.

Expertise
The Orlando Data Center invests a significant amount of time and money into their staff to make sure that they are knowledgeable. They also invest a great amount of time and care into us, Hostscreamer, knowing that they are working with a company that places people and affordable pricing first. Working together so those very people can 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 at the Orlando Data Center works around the clock to ensure that the network is operating at the most optimum state. Technicians continually review collected statistics with precise care, closely watching for traffic trends so that they can react with the proper routing adjustments and bandwidth additions.
