To
insure optimal performance and to
maximize uptime & availability,
Timberland Hosting houses it's servers
in multiple geographical datacenters.
Currently, All primary servers are
located in our DCSM2 & DCSM4
datacenters, and all backup/redundancy
servers are located in the DCCI
datacenter.
Below
is detailed information regarding each
datacenter: |

DCSM2 & DCSM4: |
|
The DCSM2 & DCSM4 offer complete
redundancy in power, HVAC, fire
suppression, network connectivity, and
security. With over 53,000 sq ft of raised
floor between the two facilities. The
datacenter facilities sit atop multiple
power grids driven by TXU electric, with
PowerWare UPS battery backup power and
dual diesel generators onsite. The
datacenter HVAC systems are condenser
units by Data Aire to provide redundancy
in cooling coupled with ten managed
backbone providers. Twelve more third
party backbone providers are available in
the building via cross connect. Fire
suppression includes a pre-action dry pipe
system including VESDA (Very Early Smoke
Detection Apparatus) with over 700 smoke
detectors between the two facilities.

Network
Infrastructure
The DCSM2 & DCSM4 network architecture
utilizes the Enterprise routing and
switching engines from Juniper and Cisco.
They utilize Juniper M20 routers as border
routers, Cisco 6500 series switches in
their distribution layer and Cisco 6500
switches in their aggregation layers, and
Cisco 3500 and 2900 series switches at the
customer layer. The network is fully
meshed and redundant with 11 backbone
providers.
