The state-of-the-art Renaissance Application Facility provides efficient, secure and redundant services. The following measures are employed to protect the equipment and the services they provide:

Premises
Physical facility is housed in a poured concrete room with steel reinforced doors.
State-of-the-art security monitoring system including intelligent card access and 24/7 video surveillance.
All facility equipment is monitored by a 24/7 instant alert system with 15 minute response time.

Environmental controls
Air conditioning and humidification control are provided by a fifteen ton Dual Compressor Liebert System.
Power Redundancy
The facility has a three stage monitored power redundancy system.
NES Power grid 300 KVA Kohler power generator (with a 72 hour fuel supply)
EMG 100 KVA UPS system.
In the event of a NES power outage the EMG UPS will provide power to the room for up to 90 minutes. Within 7 seconds of a failure the Kohler generator will be at full operating capacity with a run time of 3 days.
Diverse Communications Loops
The facility has two diverse Sonnet Rings for communications backbones (1 to Adelphia and 1 to BellSouth). If a fiber cut occurs anywhere, the traffic is automatically re-routed.
Two diverse fiber paths exiting the building at opposite ends. This protects against outages due to a fiber cut on one circuit.

Backbone Internet Connectivity
Achieved by having multiple pipes to separate carriers (i.e. MCI, AT&T, etc.).
Redundancy is provided using BGP based routing. BGP allows for carrier independent routing; so if one carrier goes down, BGP routing automatically moves the traffic to the carrier that is up.
24/7 monitored services
State-of-the-art monitoring is accomplished by using TNG Enterprise management systems.
Data facility is currently staffed twelve hours a day. (24/7 available on contract)
Facility Equipment
The facility equipment consists of high availability multiprocessor HP, Digital, and IBM servers. NOTE: Facility servers configured in redundant clusters to allow for fail over capability.
The facility backbone consists of Foundry Gigabit switches, HP ProCurve switches and Cisco routers.
Backup services are completed using HP DLT Tape arrays. (Current capacity is 8 Terabytes) all backups are taken to offsite vaults.
