On-Site Facility Security

The facility has 24 hour access for customers via a keypad and biometric security system that is independently monitored.

Video Surveillance & Electronic Motion Sensors – Our surveillance systems provide continuous and comprehensive observation. We detect and record who accesses each room and cabinet, ensuring unparalleled protection against tampering.

A Comprehensive 6 tier security perimeter access system is employed to control entry / exit (Parking Lot, Outside Parameter, Building, common area, Operations , Data Center (per Tier 4 Standards))

Fire Protection

Cyber Continuity Center Fire Protection Infrastructure is based on a three-step process: fire prevention, fire detection, and fire suppression.

Fire Prevention

All Data Center Facilities have 24*7 real-time monitoring for amperage usage and BTU output to reduce the risk of power surge, heat overload and corresponding electrical fires in the data center.

Prohibitions on flammable materials are strictly enforced.

Fire Detection

A Very Early Smoke Detection Alarm (VESDA) system for the detection of smoke and fire is employed throughout the facility.

Real-time NOC monitoring of the VESDA system with direct interconnect to master fire alarm control panel.

Fire Suppression

A facility wide multi-zone Sapphire / FM-200 (non-toxic gas) system with a dry pipe, double interlock pre-action fire sprinkler system as defined by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) shall be installed throughout the data center facilities

The fire suppression system works in conjunction with the VESDA system in all data center facilities.

Dry-Chemical fire extinguishers are also located throughout the facility.

Network Operations Center (NOC)

Cyber Continuity Center’s Network Operations Center (NOC) operates 24x7 with a full contingent of highly trained engineers and technicians.

The NOC is the focal point of all monitoring, problem tracking, remote management and problem resolution in supporting InteleNet's Managed Hosting clients.

Cyber Continuity Center NOC uses a real-time trouble ticket management system that keeps the customer informed on a real-time basis and is able to dispatch the correct resource, whether it be Cyber Continuity Center personnel, customer personnel or even third party providers, to ensure a speedy resolution to every issue.

The NOC receives all incoming operations calls for faults and issues detected by the customer as well as requests for additional services.

The NOC ensures that our customers are always informed, in control, and receiving the best services available in the industry
