Server Location and Internet Connectivity
WunderSolutions.com own their servers and they are not leased. The servers are co-located in the
Cybercon Data Center in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. THE Cybercon data center building is a steel
framed building with triple power feeds from the electric utility company. All major carriers (ATT,
MCI Worldcom, Level 3, Southwestern Bell, ... etc.) have POPs in the building.
The 22,000 square ft. data center can host over 10,000 servers and is monitored by Cybercon's
24x7 on-site tech staff. Cybercon only linked to the world's best Internet backbones such as UUNET,
Sprint, ATT and Level 3. They purchase their backbone connections from these top rated providers
where network uptime is guaranteed. They do not exchange traffic free with other providers at public
exchange points such as MAE-East and MAE-West.
Such peering agreement has no service quality guarantee. You often see packet loss at these public
exchange points. Cybercon state-of-the-art Internet data center is engineered for high performance
and redundancy. It has rich fiber connections to all major carriers and scalable bandwidth capacity
from OC3 to OC192
Power Protection
The building in which Cybercon resides is supplied with triple power feeds from the utility company.
In the event of a power outage, the data center is equipped with a 1500 KVA ONAN diesel generator.
The generator is tested every week. If a power outage is ever detected, the generator will start
automatically within 15 seconds. With one tank of gas in the generator, it can power 15,000 servers
for 36 hours. Fuel can be added to keep the network up and running indefinitely. The data center
also uses an MGE data center Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). This UPS has been installed to
constantly monitor and regulate the quality of power coming from the wall so that equipment always
receives the clean 120-volt power it was designed for.
