Whether you run an enterprise data center or a small computer room, you can’t afford losing data. Natural disasters are the biggest threats to the security of a data center. Hence, protecting data center from natural disaster becomes foremost priority of a datacenter owner. Go4hosting is a state-of-the-art datacenter that embraces the best measures to protect its datacenter against natural disasters.
Earthquake: The best way to protect a
datacenter against earthquake is keeping it away from fault lines and outside earthquake zone. Keeping this in mind, Go4hosting has established its datacenters. Besides, it has placed each rack on structures that can be moved independently of the building in case of earthquake. The foundation and entire structure of the data center buildings are constructed following international measures for earthquake resistant.
Hurricane / Tornado: Hurricane or tornado can be more devastating for any data center, as it can blast the data center building with immense force, which can lead to structural failure and power outages. To make sure our buildings remain unaffected even hurricane or tornado strikes, we have adopted several methods and technologies. Our data center buildings are F5 Tornado resistant that can tolerate winds of 300 mph.
Flood: To protect our data centers against flood, we have placed them on higher ground. In addition to this, we place data racks on raised floors.
Fire: If a fire breaks into a data center, it can destroy data and the entire infrastructure completely. To protect our data center against any possible fire break, we have incorporated firefighting systems. Smoke and heat detectors, fire walls, fire retardant cables and alarms have also been placed.
