Whale Head Productions own their servers and they are not leased. The
servers are co-located in the Cybercon Data Center in St. Louis, Missouri,
USA. THE Cybercon data center building is a steel framed building with
triple power feeds from the electric utility company. All major carriers
(AT&T, MCI Worldcom, Level 3, Southwestern Bell, ... etc.) have POPs in the
building.
The 22,000 square ft. data center can host over 10,000 servers
and is monitored by Cybercon's 24x7 on-site tech staff. Cybercon only
linked to the world's best Internet backbones such as UUNET, Sprint, AT&T
and Level 3. They purchase their backbone connections from these top rated
providers where network uptime is guaranteed. They do not exchange traffic
free with other providers at public exchange points such as MAE-East and
MAE-West.
Such peering agreement has no service quality guarantee. You often
see packet loss at these public exchange points. Cybercon state-of-the-art
Internet data center is engineered for high performance and redundancy. It
has rich fiber connections to all major carriers and scalable bandwidth
capacity from OC3 to OC192
The building in which Cybercon resides is supplied with triple power feeds
from the utility company. In the event of a power outage, the data center is
equipped with a 1500 KVA ONAN diesel generator. The generator is tested
every week. If a power outage is ever detected, the generator will start
automatically within 15 seconds. With one tank of gas in the generator, it
can power 15,000 servers for 36 hours. Fuel can be added to keep the network
up and running indefinitely. 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.
