Hostmaker servers are located in the planet network.The Planet currently owns and operates two state-of-the-art
data centers in Dallas, Texas, offering 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 Planet has an offering to fit any need. Our
product offerings include private caged suites, cabinets,
half-cabinets, tri-cabinets, and rack space by the Unit. The
datacenter facility sits atop multiple power grids driven by TXU
electric, with Power Ware UPS battery backup power and dual
diesel generators onsite. Our 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.

Our network architecture utilizes the Enterprise routing and switching engines
from Juniper and Cisco. We utilize Juniper M20 routers as border routers, Cisco
6500 series switches in our distribution layer and Cisco 6500 switches in our
aggregation layers, and Cisco 3500 and 2900 series switches at the customer layer.
Our network is fully meshed and redundant with 11 backbone providers.
