Our network utalizes some of the newest server technologies available from Microsoft, Dell and Citrix. Our datacenter utalizes 100% built by us, virtualized servers utalizing a Dell/Equalogic SANS Array. Through virtualization technology we are able to provide excellent redundancy and server consolidation while significantly reducing our engery costs and thermal output. What would normally take 16 servers, we can reduce down to 2 physical servers, plus two storage arrays, with a power savings of nearly 80% over our prior network costs.

In late 2010 we are upgrading our Data Center to Citrix XenServer 5.6 which incorporates many new technoligies including perhaps the most green technology to date, which will enable us to fully power down physical devices which are not needed during off-peak times, and power them on when demand requires additional processing power. We except this to contribue to at least an addition 20% power reduction at each center in North America.

MySecureChurch >> Security

• An onsite, third-party professional security team monitors the MySecureChurch datacenter at all times, every day of the year, with high-tech electronic, motion, and video surveillance, in addition to our own 24/7/365 staff.
• Man-trap entry point features bullet proof glass, weight-measurement to deter unauthorized "piggy-backing", and state-of-the-art biometric retinal scanning.
• If an unauthorized individual attempts to enter the datacenter through the man-trap, an alarm is activated and the man trap doors lock and trap the unauthorized individual inside.

MySecureChurch >> Location

• With virtually zero risk of experiencing natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, blizzards, or landslides, Arizona is located in a geographical area free from nearly all catastrophic threats that could cripple networks located in other parts of the globe.
• Our primary datacenter ranks low among large cities as a target of terrorist or malicious activity.

MySecureChurch >> Power

• Our Arizona and Southern California datacenter receives power via dual feed from separate sub stations.
• Multiple and redundant 2Mw Caterpillar diesel generators supply robust power for increased system reliability.
• Onsite fuel reserves provide multiple days of uninterrupted availability.
• Backup generators are tested weekly.
• In the event of a prolonged outage, generators can power the datacenter indefinitely.

MySecureChurch >> Humidification

• Eliminates static electrical discharges that can cause circuit boards to expand and contract, damaging servers and decreasing uptime levels.
• Maintains proper humidity levels to ensure longest life for all equipment in Arizona's dry climate.
• Reduces and suspends airborne dust with use of ultrasonic, ultra clean water for increased stabilization.

MySecureChurch >> Climate Control

• EC Fans provide optimized air distribution with no belt abrasion and less vibration for optimal operating conditions.
• Advanced Computer Air Conditioning (CRAC) units monitor and maintain temperature, air distribution, and humidity to keep the data center cool.
• A + B cooling loops, heat exchanger bypass, and redundant pumps are used for reliable performance.

MySecureChurch >> Cooling

• In Arizona and Southern California, two 600 ton Chiller System pumps recycle cold water underneath an elevated floor so air can rise through the separated sections via floor vents, forming cold aisles; Northern California features a private data center with an N+1 integrated 100 ton Chillder System.
• The Cold air flows through the server racks where it picks up heat before exiting from the rear of the racks.
• The warm exit air forms "hot aisles" behind the racks, and the hot air dissipates through the ceiling vents.

MySecureChurch >> Datacenter Features

• Pre-action fire suppression with VESDA detection.
• Shipping docks are located separately from receiving areas to minimize unauthorized access.
• Raised datacenter floors allow chilled pumped air to cool server aisles through selected floor vents.

MySecureChurch >> SAS 70

• MySecureChurch's procedures and controls were formally and thoroughly reviewed, evaluated and found to meet this standard by an independent accounting firm.
• The SAS 70 audit included comprehensive reviews and tests of MySecureChurch's infrastructure, including datacenter operations, server monitoring, and security measures. This certification demonstrates that MySecureChurch has the proper procedures and safeguards in place to protect websites and critical data.

MySecureChurch >> Network Operations Center (NOC)

• MySecureChurch only hires highly qualified datacenter and network administrators, providing each new employee with months of additional specialized training.
• Network and system administrators are staffed and available at all times, everyday of the year, including major holidays, to make certain any and all issues are resolved quickly, no matter the date or time.

MySecureChurch >> Network

• All network equipment is enterprise, service-provider grade with redundancy within all devices as well.
• Our network incorporates Multiple Tier 1 connectivity providers with GigE (Gigabit Ethernet) Internet connections for a superior level of thru-put and uptime.
• Each server set utilizes a multi-gigabit fiber optic backbone, and each server segment is supported by a separate gigabit sub, or "maintenance," network to eliminate data saturation.

MySecureChurch >> Servers

• Raid technology uses multiple hard disk drives within each server to achieve a higher level of performance and reliability.
• An expansive amount of hardware is stored on-site so that our datacenter administrators can quickly perform any necessary hardware maintenance.
