FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cybercon Opens New St. Louis Internet Data Center
| | - Louis, MO -- August 15, 2000 -- Cybercon, a
leading provider of advanced Internet hosting and
managed services, today announced its new 22,000
square foot data center located at 210 North Tucker
Boulevard in St. Louis, MO. Cybercon's new data
center was designed to meet the intensifying
worldwide demand for increased bandwidth and help
clients face the challenges they encounter while
expanding their networks. Cybercon addresses these
issues by featuring direct multi-backbone
connections for high performance and redundancy,
rich fiber connections to all major carriers,
scalable bandwidth capacity from OC3 to OC192 and
- Network Operations Center (NOC) that is staffed
|
24x7.
| | - have aggressively expanded our data center
|
capacity to meet the growing worldwide market
demand," said Joshua Chen, CTO of Cybercon.
"Cybercon continues to enhance its position as a
leader in the advanced Web hosting market by
combining our high performance Internet network
with comprehensive Internet technologies."
| | - new data center has direct connections to UUNET
(WorldCom), Sprint, AT&T and Level 3 Communications,
allowing clients to outsource their E-business needs
- Cybercon without having to worry about their link
with top Internet backbone providers. Many small and
medium size businesses cannot afford to build their
- data center, therefore; E-business outsourcing
will also save clients tens of thousands of dollars
- equipment fees and thousands of dollars in
|
monthly fees.
| | - E-business grows and businesses need to have a
server that hosts only their site, the dedicated
server and collocation industry will also grow.
With a dedicated or collocated server, you no longer
have to worry about the loads being placed on a
single shared server and disk space being shared
with other sites. Cybercon can now host over 10,000
servers at its new data center and will provide each
with world-class Internet data center features. In
addition to the traditional dedicated server and
collocation clients, others who will benefit from
- new data center are those in need of services
designed for telecom providers and those needing
rack space, storage devices or dedicated ISDN, DSL,
- T3, OC3, 10mb and 100mb Ethernet connections.
|
| | - building in which Cybercon resides is supplied
with triple power feeds from the utility company.
- the event of a power outage, the data center is
|
equipped with a 1.5-Megawatt ONAN diesel generator.
This generator, which can keep the network up and
running indefinitely, will take over until the
utility company has power restored. The data center
also uses an MGE data center Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS). This UPS has been installed to
constantly monitor and regulate the quality of power
coming from the wall so that equipment always
receives the clean 120-volt power it was designed
for.
| | - new data center is protected with a pre-action
|
fire protection system. It also boasts complete
environmental control with its redundant Liebert
indoor cooling systems and is kept at an optimal
temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit. These cooling
systems provide precise, reliable control of room
temperature, humidity, and airflow that improves
operating conditions for sensitive electronic
equipment.
Access to the building can be achieved through an
automatic door, which is operated by a state-of-
the-art access control system. Since all employees
have access to the building, a detailed record of
employee and visitor entry is maintained at all
times. Fewer employees have access to responsive
areas of the data center and must pass through
multi-point security checks, including bio-metric
readers, for data center access. In addition to
security, the new data center offers all the
conveniences of a modern office, including a
reception area, personal workstations connected
| | - a Local Area Network (LAN) and conference room
|
facilities.
