Data Center Details

Power

APC - Legendary Reliability APC Battery Backups
Server Racks at our data center are isolated into sections. Each section has a dedicated APC Battery Backup Unit which serves as a power "cleaner" for that section of rack space. Problems with power spikes, brown-outs, or loss of power are not a concern.

Cummins Onan - Powerful Change Natural Gas Generator
Unlike diesel generators, Natural Gas generators burn cleanly, producing an environmentally friendly source of generating backup power whenever city power goes down. Our generators are tested weekly to ensure that backup power will be ready and available whenever we need it.

The Network

Cisco Systems - Empowering the Internet Generation Cisco Core Routers
Redundant power supplies, redundant processor cores, and redundant memory; our enterprise line of Cisco routers are packed with redundancy to ensure that if there is ever a problem, network traffic will continue to flow unhindered. Multiple Backbone Connections

The network is powered by multiple connections with no less than DS3-capable speeds to the following providers:

  • Spectrum Networks
  • PocketINet

Cooling System

Trane
The data center is cooled by Trane brand air conditioners. In addition to keeping our data center the ideal temperature for servers, our air conditioners also come equipped with economizers. Economizers take advantage of chilly weather conditions by using the cold outside air as a supplement to conditioned air. This lowers the amount of energy required to power our air conditioners, and lowers our Carbon Footprint. This helps keep costs low and is much better for the environment.

Environment

Wind-Generated Power
The Data Center is located in the relatively small city of Walla Walla, in Washington State. The city of Walla Walla sits right at the base of the Blue Mountain range, and is ideal because of it's low risk for natural disasters. Walla Walla is not subject to hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, volcanoes, or similar natural occurrences that could jeopardize the safety of your data.

The Data Center works with local power authorities, paying extra for it's power in order to participate in green-energy initiatives, such as wind-generated power programs. One of these programs is the Blue Sky program available through the Pacific Power Company.  Electricity is also generated by the Columbia River hydroelectric system. Be assured that your business with Viviotech is environmentally friendly.
