How is an ISP different?
An ISP has drastically different infrastructure requirements:
Engineered with 24/7/365 as requirement
ISPs deserve continual uptime infrastructure
Efficient 2N Power delivery
generator backed redundant mains
UPS backed cooling – what happens if they’re not
cooling units shutdown & take between 30 to 60 seconds to come back up to speed after power is restored
inlet temperatures increase by as much as 9 degrees F per minute
in less than 5 minutes servers and network devices begin shutting down
devices need to be manually powered up
a brief shutdown will cause a 2 hour minimum interruption in productivity
4. State of the art battery technology in each UPS
efficient IGBT rectifier and inverter technology maintain clean and stable power which means longer lasting power supplies
5. Secure access and cameras
keeping the facility secure and safe
6. Exceptional customer service
timely response to requests and issues
recognize the importance of services ISPs provide for their customers and the reputation they have to uphold in this segment
7. Emphasis on fiber delivery and connectivity
provide timely cross connect delivery
ensure fiber endfaces are clean and not damaged
tools to test and troubleshoot ensuring minimal dB loss
