Co-location Features

Highlights

	Geographic diversity / Global Presence – Primus has sites in Los Angeles, Washington DC, New York City, New Jersey, and McLean,Virginia. The diversity will allow customer to launch and expand their service globally in a much faster manner.
	Diverse fiber entry – reduced risk of service outage due to single fiber entry into the facility.
	Physical Security – escorted access.
	Unescorted Access – customer access to Co-location and work areas 24 / 7 (on appointment).
	Redundant Power – redundant DC-AC Inverter to provide stable AC power supply for essential loads.
	Receiving and Storage – inventory controls to secure customer equipment arriving at the site.

HVAC Design

All of the air conditioning equipment is sized to support typical Co-location facility needs of telecommunication carriers, ISPs, content providers, and customers requiring hosted facilities to support telecommunications and computer applications.

Co-location Power

Uninterruptible Power Sources
Depending on location, Central UPS can be provided.  In the locations that do not have Central UPS, a Cabinet based UPS or an inverter can be provided for mission critical power.

Generators / Battery back up provides enough back-up power to keep the entire facility operational at maximum load.

Facility Lighting and Other Non-Critical Primus Communications Equipment
Battery back up for emergency lighting is provided as per building code.  Upon a power failure, the emergency lights will continue to operate.  Once the generator starts up (typically, this is a 7 second delay), all lights and all non-critical equipment in the facility will regain power and become fully operational.
