About Our Data Centre
The Web Factory's servers are located in a small
privately run data centre that offers all of the systems and
redundancy of many large data centres but on a smaller scale:
The
Facility:
Located
in the suburb of Kilsythe in Melbourne, Micron21 provides a
robust, reliable and secure environment to host our servers.
The network room
includes redundant temperature and humidity control, an array
of physical security features, smoke detection and fire
suppression systems, motion sensors, closed circuit video
monitoring and 24 x 7 secured access.
Redundant subsystems including multiple Internet connections,
power on the premises and backup generator provides the
highest levels of reliability.
Network:
Micron21 has multiple redundant links to the internet through
several providers.
Air Conditioning:
The environment within the facility is constantly monitored
and air conditioned maintaining both temperature and
humidity. There is N+1 redundancy in the air conditioning
system and the units are rotated weekly to ensure all units
are working correctly.
Security:
The building and network room within are independently
secured. A closed circuit video system records all access to
the facility. Lockable front and rear doors on each cabinet
provides additional security for equipment and cables.
