Secure Disaster Recovery Planning by Sterling Network Services

One of the most important aspects to services provided by SNS, and one that current clients view as most valuable, is the facility's security infrastructure. Located in downtown Phoenix, Arizona in the Downtown Phoenix Technology Exchange, the facility features biometric, physical and other access control devices, as well as manned security and video surveillance. Customers maintain secure 24/7/365 access to the data center. This factor is key when creating an IT disaster recovery plan. The data center features concrete walls, floors and ceilings, conforming to the strictest physical security standards. While the building is extremely secure in the eyes of possible intruders and natural disasters, the environment is ideal for data center and mechanical equipment. SNS data center environments are temperature and particulate controlled. Raised floor systems, overhead duct systems, Liebert HVAC units and other elements are used to create superior airflow and heat dissipation. Finally, the building is equipped with advanced fire detection and suppression. This includes state-of-the-art automated pre-action fire protection and life safety systems.
