OVER 20,000 SQUARE FEET OF CODITIONED
DATA CENTRE SPACE
Our HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) systems have
full filtering and humidity control. The environment within the data
center is maintained at a cool 68 degrees to ensure that your server
is functioning at its best in an optimal environment.
24 x & unescorted personal access
24 hours or less provisioning time
Backup Power Systems
We do not rely upon the local power grid to guarantee uptime. Our
data centers’ on-site, diesel-powered generators and centralized
Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS) provide power conditioning and
ensure 100% uninterrupted data center operation. The generators are
regularly tested to make certain that they will function as needed
in the event of an emergency.
151
Front Street West
INTRODUCTION
151 Front acts as a primary North American communications
hub for telecommunications carriers and data centre firms from around
the globe. As an connection point for corporate data network, local
and long distance telephony, Internet peering, and critical data storage
facilities, the 151 Front Street building has been designed to accommodate
the highest standards of security reliability and connectivity.
1. Points of Entry
151 Front has more than 25 Points of Entry (POE) penetrating the building,
offering an extensively diverse pathway “Fiber Connectivity”
solution for any subscriber or service provider wishing to enter.
151 Front can be entered from all sides, increasing the number of
right-of-ways that can be used to gain access. Further, the proximity
to the rail lines, a major right-of way for national fiber optic loops,
enhances access to national networks.
2.
Meet-Me Room
Located in the heart of the building, 151 Front Street manages a highly
secure fiber optic Meet-Me Room, offering easy access from building
entry points; it is adjoined by a diverse riser system. Built in 2000,
this room now houses access points for networks literally room now
houses access points for networks literally spanning the globe. Phase
II or a secondary Meet-Me Room coming to the building soon!
3. Riser System
The Riser System consists of two diverse pathways linked directly
to the Meet-Me Room and connecting vertical pathway to the penthouse
level. The system offers diversity for your networking requirements,
ease of installation for speed and cost savings.
4.
Security
Uniformed security patrol the premises and surrounding area 24/7/365
as part of a customized security system and protocol while optical
turnstiles and door entry card access provide a second level of security.
Tenants also deploy their own proprietary security systems. Access
to all high-security areas, such as the Meet-Me Room and Riser Systems,
require a supervisor to monitor all personnel.
5.
Electrical
A reliable source of primary power is of paramount importance to 151
Front’s 7/24/365 operation – an expensive but necessary
venture to secure a reliable power supply from the local substation.
In 2001, two new 4000/5000KVA transformers were added to ensure the
reliability of 151 Front’s power supply. These transformers
are fed by dual underground 13.8 Kv feeder lines from the local substation.
6. Cooling
New district cooling provides chilled water to the building according
to pre-determined temperature capacity, and consumption. With our
tenants’ higher than normal cooling requirements, this ensures
a reliable chilled water supply that can easily grow with the building’s
needs. Many 151 Front tenants have installed secondary cooling units
“Condensers” on the roof area.
7.
Diesel Fuel Farm
To support the generator power plant, 151 Front’s environmentally
compliant diesel fuel storage facilities can house up to 44,000 gallons
in tenant-owned tanks providing fuel to the generators. 151 Front
owns the street at the back of the property, thus refueling trucks
and roll-up generators enjoy unrestricted access to ensure their facilities
7/24/365 operation during an emergency.
8.
Rooftop
151 Front pre-engineered the placement of a structural steel to support
the added weight and vibration (now housing 18 generators) in full
operation. To facilitate tenant requirements for secondary cooling,
a similar structural steel grid was installed on the uppermost roof
to accommodate the array of condensers, fluid coolers, glycol pumps
and chillers.
