Login’s Tucson Datacenter
Login owns and operates their own carrier class, carrier neutral colocation
facility located conveniently in central Tucson near Speedway and Alvernon.
This document outlines the general specifications most commonly sought by
Login’s scrutinizing clients.
Natural Disaster Risk
Situated in the Sonoran Desert of South-Eastern Arizona, Login’s Tucson
datacenter is well situated outside of any significant natural disaster risk
such as tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or blizzards.

Internet Connectivity
Carrier neutral facility so internet access may be obtained from any
carrier willing to offer it
Login’s blend of internet access consists of full routes from Qwest
via a gigabit port and Limelight Networks, a premier content distribution
network that has outstanding connectivity domestically as well as to large Asian
and European interconnection points. Total lit upstream connectivity is
currently over 1.6Gbps with peak usage between 400-500Mbps. Login does not
employ an oversell model with regards to internet connectivity.
Cooling
27 tons of cooling is currently required to keep the 2500 square foot
facility at a constant 72F
3 x 27 ton APC-Airflow dual compressor downflow units are used to charge the
plenum under the raised floor to effectively cool the entire facility.
While one unit would suffice, Login expects the need to grow into the
second unit in the short term so in order to maintain N+1 redundancy,
Login positioned three units from the onset with plans to add a fourth if
needed in the future.
Login has a licensed HVAC technician and engineer on staff to keep a close
eye on the HVAC needs.
Convenience
For convenience of the technicians who work in the datacenter, Login has
two “crash carts” with a LCD monitor, keyboard and mouse.
