The Planet Information
Connectivity
The Planet's internal network architecture utilizes the Enterprise routing and switching engines from Juniper and Cisco. The Planet utilizes Juniper M20 routers as border routers, Cisco 6500 series switches in our distribution layer, Cisco 6500 and 5500 switches in our aggregation layers, and Cisco 3500 and 2900 series switches at the customer layer. The Planet's network is fully meshed and redundant with 6 backbone providers. The Planet's current network consists of, UUNet (GigE), Level 3 (GigE), Time Warner (GigE), Global Crossing (GigE), Verio (GigE), and ATT (DS3).
The Planet Data Center facility infrastructure starts with five diverse OC48 SONET fiber rings and 1 OC192 SONET fiber ring, providing the basic connectivity to six different Internet access carriers. The Planet's 35,000 square foot datacenter is state of the art. The bare essentials are:
- A preaction dry-pipe sprinkler system with 580 smoke detectors and a VESDA contaminate system to create a full proof fire prevention system.
- 23 - 26 ton Data Aire down flow air conditioners designed to run in complete redundancy for maximum cooling.
- 6 -500KVA Powerware UPS battery backup systems with 90 batteries each (540 total) for up to 80 minutes of UPS battery backup power.
- 2 - Cummins backup generators. Big Moe, that's his name, is a 1.5Megawatt 16 cylinder diesel with a 2200 gallon diesel fuel tank. Little Joe, the not-so-small guy, is a 1.0Megawatt 12 cylinder diesel with a 2000 gallon diesel fuel tank. We can operate for 15 days on generator power without a refuel.
- Couple these generators with our three input electrical feeds to two different city grids in downtown Dallas and our uptime guarantee on power is 100%.
