The Seattle AT&T Internet Data Center utilized by Aliyance offers businesses Internet access capacity of 4.8 Gigabits (dual-OC48 service) on the AT&T IP Network. Network access is redundant with path-diverse entrances and exits. Dual access routers connect the Internet Data Center to the AT&T IP backbone.

Security is provided 24 X 7 and includes closed-circuit monitors, secure-card key access, biometric scanners, man traps and alarmed doors. Guards maintain access to the loading dock and security personnel also monitor each center. Building and environmental alarms are monitored locally in each of the centers by a 24 X 7 maintenance staff and remotely by the AT&T Network Operations Center in San Diego, CA.

Each center has dual Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), with multiple modules synchronized to work in unison or independently. UPS systems receive power from commercial power feeders and standby generators and are designed to support the full load at 90 Watt per square foot for 15 minutes via its "external" battery plant.

In case of a commercial power failure, multiple standby generators are available to provide power to the center within one minute of a commercial power outage. The one-minute gap is covered by the UPS battery system to ensure no impact on your equipment is experienced. During an extended commercial power outage, the diesel generators provide power using the fuel stored on site. Fuel suppliers are on standby to provide additional service.

Fire suppression in the centers is achieved through pre-action dry pipe systems and state-of-the-art VESDA (air sampling) smoke detection and alarm systems. VESDA systems are 100 times more sensitive than conventional fire detection systems. Detectors are grouped into different zones. When one or more detectors detect smoke, the fire alarm panel opens the deluge valve to fill the sprinkler piping with water. In case of an actual fire, the seal on the sprinkler heads will melt and discharge water on the affected area. Water will not be discharged in unaffected areas.

Chiller plants and multiple CRAC units provide air conditioning. The CRAC units are strategically located to deliver lower temperature conditioned air to maintain a room temperature of 72°F.

AT&T Business has designed and built reliability into the network infrastructure of each of the Internet Data Centers through the use of proven network components, backup or failover hardware, and configurations engineered to provide no single point of failure. Each Internet Data Center utilizes two or more Cisco 7513 or Cisco 12000 Gigabit routers to transmit and receive data over high-speed connections that leave the facility through separate exits and travel physically diverse paths to multiple backbone nodes.

AT&T Business provisions and maintains all network connections from the Internet Data Centers to the AT&T Global IP Network.
