Power Monitoring Systems

Fiber and telecommunications connectivity is diversely routed via separate physical building entrances, and diverse conduit paths into the Cleveland data center itself. Most of the major global carriers with large regional network footprints are fiber terminated directly inside of the BlueBridge Data Center.  All network services are distributed via an overhead multi-tier ladder rack system. • AT&T/SBC • Level3/ICG • American Fiber Systems • Global Crossing • XO • Time-Warner • Verizon Business • OneCommunity • Third Frontier

Telecommunications

Redundant Networks

BlueBridge operates disparate and redundant fiber optic networks on both East 13th street and Euclid Avenue fiber conduits. Internet connectivity is delivered on BlueBridge’s gigabit collocate backbone via redundant Cisco routers, switches, and firewalls in a high availability configuration with Gigabit connectivity to multiple Tier 1 Carriers.

BlueBridge’s network elements and security systems are monitored 24x7x365 for availability, traffic trends, irregular firewall activity and intrusion events by experts in its Network Operations Center based in Cleveland, Ohio.

Generator Systems

Auto Transfer Switches

Redundant (A+B) ASCO auto transfer switches instantaneously failover the external power feed to generator power should utility feeds drop below acceptable levels.

Generator Systems

BlueBridge supplies the regions 911 Emergency Services Response Center with backup generator power.

BlueBridge customers enjoy an advantage over other data centers due to a priority status conferred upon BlueBridge by refueling providers.

Generator Systems

Constant temperature and humidity control is maintained by 300 tons of HVAC cooling, distributed via a pressurized downdraft system under 19” of raised floor.

Environmental Systems

Fenwal AnaLASER HSSD

The air sampling system is capable of detecting particles of combustion as low as 0.0015%/ft (0.005%/m), which is 2000 times more sensitive than conventional smoke detectors. 

The higher sensitivity of the detector allows it to detect low energy fires even in high airflow environments, which tend to dilute smoke concentrations. 

The Cleveland Data Center is protected by a state-of-the-art laser air sampling fire detection technology, backed by a pre-action, double interlocked dry pipe fire protection system.

Environmental Systems

Network Operations Center (NOC) 24x7x365 Monitors the security and video systems Provides access control for physical security. Physical patrols of the data center occur on a regular basis around the clock.

Security

BlueBridge’s state-of-the-art security system Maintains access control to authorized personnel via proximity card and key pad at all data center entrances. Monitored by two redundant and geographically diverse monitoring centers, as well as the BlueBridge NOC. Video surveillance is applied at every entrance and throughout the data center facility. Recorded archives are maintained for a minimum of 90 days.

Security

Uniformed lobby security guards control access to the building entrances and elevators after hours, on weekends, and holidays. There is no access to the 5th floor and data center off hours that is unescorted. Regular patrols of the entire building occur after hours, weekends and holidays.
