Colocation 
Infrastructure - Cooling
Infrastructure is at the heart of any datacenter that all the Cloud services depend on. At UnitedLayer Infrastructure means the following:
- Safe and Secure Data Centers
- SSAE 16 Type II Compliant
- Uptime for Power and Cooling
- Serviceability of Infrastructure Components
- Monitoring and Alerting
- Continuous Improvement processes
Security:
Our Data Centers offer the following security features for our customers and employees:
- Perimeter security
- Biometric security
- Video monitoring and recording
Within our data centers, we offer our customers the following security features:
- Locking Cabinets
- Custom Locking Cages.
- Motion detectors and custom bars on cages.
Power and Cooling:
To provide Power and Cooling to our customer’s IT infrastructure, our dedicated world class facilities team designs, operates and monitors the critical power and cooling equipment that are monitored on a 24x7x365 basis.
Our goal to reduce our carbon footprint means that we continue to invest in state of the art design and methodologies to meet these objectives, while maintaining an industry leading average uptime.
Cooling Architectures are fundamental to achieving high power density cabinet configurations. The following architectural features allow us to ensure that our cooling systems are running at maximum efficiency:
- N+1 CRAC units for cooling uptime
- Raised floor designs
- Cold-aisle containment
- Anemometer flow monitoring
- Cabinet temperature sensors
- Data center temperature sensors for hot-spot detection
- Short-cycling mitigation.
Continuous Efficiency Improvements:
Our continuous improvement processes to ensure that UnitedLayer operates a green data center means that our facilities teams are working on projects on a continuous basis to reduce the Power Utilization Efficiency (PUE) of our data centers.
In conjunction with our local utilities, we mitigate our carbon footprint by using cooling strategies such as Air Side Economizing that reduce cooling related equipment usage by significant amounts. We achieve this through constant measurement; monitoring and adjusting airflow and temperatures throughout our facilities.
