EXIST Hosting DataCenter
		In March 2006, EXIST Hosting announced the launch of its latest Montreal Datacenter location. The new datacenter's primary focus is to meet the increasing demand for dedicated servers and colocation services. Measuring over 10,000 sq ft, the new Montreal datacenter gives us the possibility and flexibility to meet our customers needs and demands.

SECURITY & ACCESS

	The access control system is composed of accesscard readers, biometric readers to authenticate fingerprints and a series of surveillance cameras. Our Datacenter is equipped with a closed camera surveillance system. We monitor the datacenter 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The activity is recorded and archived.

COLOCATION & DATACENTER

The servers are setup in a way to help our technicians have access to them easily in order to fix issues in a timely fashion. The servers are secured in their cabinets and accessed using keys. Our cabinets are designed to have integrated cooling systems and secured access to the cabinets using keys. All cabinets have space between them to help the servers keep the proper temperature. Raised Flooring technology allows for much more efficient cooling system throughout the datacenter as well as clean cable management. All electricity and network wirings are passed under the floor.

DEDICATED SERVER ZONE

	This dedicated zone is setup in its own separate cage. This cage is reserved only for dedicated servers and is secured from the rest of the datacenter and colocation zone. Only EXIST Hosting employees are authorized to access this zone.

NETWORK & CONNECTIONS

	All Fiber connections enter our network room where Cisco equipments are responsible for the network distributions throughout the datacenter. We optimize our network for optimal security, speed and reliability.

VENTILATION & TEMPERATURE CONTROL

	Our Datacenter has a full cooling system, powered by LIEBERT equipment. All cooling equipments are linked to separate compressors to ensure constant temperature and humidity in the datacenter. Temperature is kept constant at all times.

UPS BACKUP & DIESEL GENERATORS

	Our Datacenter is fully equipped with Dedicated Uninterruptible Power with UPS and Diesel Generator. In case of a power failure the UPS and Diesel Generators immediately kick in.
