Security Center

The Premiere Mission Critical Datacenter in the Midwest

The facility is served by an industrial strength infrastructure that includes four fiber vaults and three electric power feeds, providing more than 100 megawatts of power. The building is currently the second‐largest power customer for Commonwealth Edison, trailing only Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. More than 50 generators throughout the building and multiple 30,000-gallon tanks of diesel fuel support grid power.

System Overview

  • Screened Subnet Topology - The most secure (and most expensive) option .In this case, the DMZ is placed between two firewalls from two different vendors, (for better security performance).
  • DMZ
    • NetScreen Firewall
    • IIS Web Server
  • Internal Network
    • Netgear Firewall VPN
    • Microsoft SQL Server
    • iSCSI Storage
    • The internal network has no external IPs, so it cannot be accessed from outside the network
  • PCI Compliance
  • Extended Validation SSL
