When you’re looking for the optimum facility to colocate your company servers, you’re entitled to be a little picky. After all, a company without its data is like a car without an engine, so where you store the core of your business is a decision that deserves some special attention.

It’s also a decision that Fibernet doesn’t take very lightly either, which is why we’ve outfitted our facility with all the specifications you need to feel confident in choosing us as your Utah Colocation Provider.

I’m not only referring to our:

• Class A data center facility, which as been built to Zone 4  earthquake standards, or
• our surveillance cameras,
• biometric readers,
• monitored data center access, etc., etc. , but also to the fact that we are carrier-neutral, which can be highly beneficial from a user perspective.

Because we are carrier-neutral, our clients can connect directly to specific carriers, including Integra, Verizon, XO, Qwest, Utopia, and local municipalities like American Fork City, or use Fibernet’s bandwidth while still receiving on-net discounts.

Now you have the option of private, fully-enclosed colocation suites with custom, built-to-suit layout options. Differing from a cage-scenario, the private suite offers clients privacy and flexibility. The colocation suite is fully-enclosed with a keyed door. Consider it a mini data center for only the client to access.

Suites provide growth, flexibility, additional security, and volume discounts for space. These suites are designed to accommodate up to 2 racks with working room in front and behind the racks. Private suites are the most secure method for collocating servers, and guarantee the continual operation of servers and the permanent availability of company data.

Our private colocation suites allow our customers to benefit from all of the amenities of our data center as well as the security of a completely private room.

Open source and custom designed systems are used to monitor bandwidth usage, internal, and external network status.

Fibernet is designed to Zone 4 earthquake specifications. All utilities, including water pipes, are incased in the inner cement core of the building and each level of the center is actually designed as a seamless cement slab with drainage systems to move water in the event of a fire without damage to other locations of the center. Fibernet is equipped with a double-interlock, pre-action, dry pipe fire suppression system that deploys on a localized basis or on a specific zone basis.

In September of 2006, the leading payment brands, including American Express, Discover, MasterCard, Visa, and JCB International, founded the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council with the express purpose of establishing and promoting-on a global scale-the adoption of certain, consistent data security measures. These measures are outlined in a comprehensive set of requirements called the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS); such requirements include stringent mandates for security management, policies, procedures, network infrastructure, software design, and other security elements.

The specific requirements stated in the PCI DSS can be found on the official website of the PCI Security Standards Council as follows:

Build and Maintain a Secure Network

Requirement 1: Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data

Requirement 2: Do not use vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters

Protect Cardholder Data

Requirement 3: Protect stored cardholder data

Requirement 4: Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks

Maintain a Vulnerability Management Program

Requirement 5: Use and regularly update anti-virus software

Requirement 6: Develop and maintain secure systems and applications

Implement Strong Access Control Measures

Requirement 7: Restrict access to cardholder data by business need-to-know

Requirement 8: Assign a unique ID to each person with computer access

Regularly Monitor and Test Networks

Requirement 10: Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data

Requirement 11: Regularly test security systems and processes

Maintain an Information Security Policy

Requirement 12: Maintain a policy that addresses information security

The PCI DSS is foremost intended to help organizations that accept, process, and store sensitive payment account information protect that data from being compromised. The PCI Security Standards Council understands that the PCI DSS may be subject to modifications as new security risks arise and will enhance the listed protocol as needed, while continuing to promote PCI compliancy wherever it applies.
