Connectivity to the Internet

The Data Center is connected via a fiber connection to our backbone provider. Thompson utilizes a DS3, running at 45mbps thru Sprint™. A 2nd DS3, thru AT&T™, Broadwing™, Cable & Wireless™, or Global Crossing™, is in place for redundancy. An OC3, has also been added. The connection runs BGP4 (border gateway routing protocol) & SONET to maintain the speed and uptime. If one backbone line goes down, it will balance the load to the others. If one line gets congested, it will load balance the traffic. SONET technology is a high capacity, 100% fiber optic network deployed in a ring topology with a working, or "hot," path carrying data in one direction and a standby, or protect, path transmitting in the opposite direction around the ring. In the event of a fiber cut or service degradation, SONET equipment at the edge of each failing fiber segment isolates the failure and uses both working and standby fibers to create a new temporary ring. All of this happens within 50 milliseconds.

Battery Backups and Generators

The Data Center is backed up and protected by UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems. In a very rare case of utility outages, our auto-start generators start automatically, taking over for the UPS system and supplying all necessary power for our Network Operations Center. APC™, Tripp-Lite™, & Liebert™ UPS Systems provide the power backups, along with Kohler™ generator systems.

Data Center Security

The Data Center is a high security facility. Double metal security doors, with interior gating, protect the main entrance to the facility. The windows-less facility has advanced security, fire, temperature, and flood alarms, directly piped into the Security Monitoring Company via phone, cellular, and Internet connections. A Police Station is less than two blocks away, and a Fire Station less than six blocks. A 16-camera digital video system monitors the interior and exterior of the Data Center. This video system is monitored internally at the facility and externally from the Thompson Support office. The video data is recorded live both on and off site, and stored for several months ahead. Visitors cannot gain access into the facility without employee escort. The physical servers and equipment area is secured from the visitor's area by huge metal doors, as well as metal sheeting and bulletproof glass walls.

Software Upgrades

Thompson handles all software upgrades/patches on our servers. We fully follow all trends in the industry, and monitor all support/bug announcement groups. If a new bug or security vulnerability is found, Thompson  immediately upgrades our systems. Thompson auto-updates the Linux systems every night from security patch web sites. As new software is released, including new versions of operating systems, Thompson evaluates the new software. If the software's new version does not have any security issues, or bug problems, the upgrade is implemented.
