Colocation Facilities are not alike-the ISP Deserves more now

by | Mar 28, 2023 | Opinion

How is an ISP different?

An ISP has drastically different infrastructure requirements:

  1. Engineered with 24/7/365 as requirement
    • ISPs deserve continual uptime infrastructure
  2. Efficient 2N Power delivery
    • generator backed redundant mains
  3. 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

ISP’s plan to stay online without interruptions. A reliable & stable Data Center gives them that chance.
