How Orlando Colocation Operators Design for Hurricanes

Sponsored by DataCenterLeadGen.com

Because they operate in a region prone to hurricanes,

Orlando colocation centers have been structurally and operationally designed to cope with the hazards

that storms like Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Katrina represent

Asset Protection

In Orlando colocation centers, equipment and other physical assets are positioned off the floor,

to minimize the chance of water damage, and away from doors and windows

In multi-story facilities, servers and other valuable assets are stored on the upper floors,

with the exception of the top level, as gale-force winds can damage the roof

Emergency Power Strategies

Orlando facilities have a centralized uninterruptible power supply (UPS)

capable of maintaining the center in the event that commercial power sources become unavailable

When the UPS system senses the interruption, it transmits a signal to power up the generator

Regular System Maintenance

All disaster recovery systems are regularly maintained

• Routine inspections

• Primary power system testing

• Backup power system testing

All testing protocols are benchmarked,

meaning that they are tracked over time instead of treated as standalone ‘pass/fail’ tests

Staff Attention and Involvement

Orlando colocation center IT staff, department heads, and other employees

are fully versed on disaster recovery steps and business continuity protocols

The Bottom Line

Orlando colocation centers position all hosted servers in advantageous locations, maintain emergency power supply sources,

and train staff on rapid disaster recovery procedures

Is your colocation center in a hurricane-prone area?

If so, what protective measures have been implemented to keep the hosted servers safe during high-risk weather conditions?
