We leverage best-in-class connectivity and
technology to innovate industry-leading, fully automated solutions that empower enterprises with complete
access, control, security, and scalability. With this insightful strategy and our peerless technical execution,
we have created the truly virtual data center—and made traditional hosting and managed/unmanaged services
obsolete
We are proud of our high speed connection. In fact, one of our most frequent compliments from our customers is how fast their site loads... read on and you will see why. When you combine high speed connectivity and high quality equipment, you get a fast and reliable web site. We have invested in the equipment and staff so you can rest assured that your site will load fast every time. We host sites all over the world, and with our multiple backbone connections, your customers will get through to your site fast.
ASPHostCentral currently operates four state of the art data centers,
namely Seattle Data Center (US West Coast), Dallas Data Center
(US Central Coast), Washington DC Data Center (US Eastern Coast) and Amsterdam (European) Data Center,
offering complete redundancy in power, HVAC, fire suppression, network connectivity, and security. With over 53,000 sq ft of raised floor between the two facilities, ASPHostCentral has an offering to fit any need. The datacenter facility sits atop multiple power grids driven by TXU electric, with PowerWare UPS battery backup power and dual diesel generators onsite. Our HVAC systems are condenser units by Data Aire to provide redundancy in cooling coupled with nine managed backbone providers
You can rest assured that your websites or dedicated servers are secured, managed and monitored in a state-of-the-art facility, and as a customer you have access to our engineers and the most reliable Support team.
Our Network Operations Center (NOC) is built right in the center of our
support facilities and is staffed 24/7/365 by certified systems administrators and
network engineers. The 21 screens that make up our NOC monitor everything from
network traffic and performance to power, temperature and security systems to
services, applications, known vulnerabilities and RAID array status on customer
servers.
- Large on-site NOC with 24/7 Engineers
- Real-time monitoring and alerts for all critical systems
- Customer level service and application monitoring

Our data centers are built upon a unique pod design concept, making them
functionally independent with distinct and redundant resources, and fully integrated
through our revolutionary network architecture. You can have direct control over your
system in any data center and full access to all of our back-end services—all fully
automated and on demand
Each data center facility features one or more pods, each built to the same specifications with
best-in-class methodologies to support up to 5,000 servers. Leveraging this standardization
across all geographic locations, we optimize key data center performance variables including:
space, power, network, personnel, and internal infrastructure

We have tremendous cooling infrastructure, with dual redundant chilled
water supply loops and multiple Liebert air conditioning units pumping
cold air into the pressurized raised floor of our data center
- n+1 Liebert VACs w/n+1 supply loops and chillers
- Up to 300 tons of cooling capacity that runs on MCI’s chilled water systems
- Raised floor system for efficient distribution of cooling

Our state-of-the-art fire suppression has three levels of protection.
The facility is designed and constructed to sustain a seismic event while
maintaining business functions and boasts low latency through superior
connections to Seattle’s robust fiber optic loops, 55MW of existing
electrical capacity, 45 on-site generators with .5-million gallons of
on-site fuel storage, and a carrier vault system supported by more than 50 miles of embedded, secure conduits.
- Halon Fire Extinguishers
- VESDA laser smoke detection with dry pipe suppression
- Tightly defined preaction zones for localized fire extinguishing
- Monitored and maintained by both ServePath and MCI 24X7 on & off-site

We operate the Screaming-Fast Network™, featuring multi-homed bandwidth with connections to over 40 networks.
We route traffic over major Tier 1 Internet backbones such as UUNet/MCI, Level 3, NTT/Verio, and
AboveNet, with no low-quality bandwidth and plenty of network capacity for maximum reliability and scalability.

Our data center power is fed by conditioned UPS (uninterruptible power supply) electricity and with the following systems in place to ensure power back-up
- 55MW of existing electrical capacity
- 45 on-site generators with .5-million gallons of on-site fuel storage
- A carrier vault system supported by more than 50 miles of embedded, secure conduits
|

Our data center maintains the highest possible standards for physical security. The followings
are just several standards of security practice on all our data centers:
- 24 x 7 security guards at front entrance
- Secondary check-in at our second floor data center
- 24 x 7 systems administrators / NOC on the data center floor
