Data Center Overview
All of our primary shared and dedicated services are supported by privately owned data centers in Orlando,
Florida and the Phoenix, Arizona area. DimeNoc has the largest network capacity of any other data center in
the state of Florida, with even more connectivity on the way. The network
features automated BGP routing to provide you with the fastest possible route to
the server based on both network hops and speed.

Data Center 1 (DC1)
5,000 sq. feet
Launched January 2004
Approximately 6 miles from DC2
Data Center 2 (DC2)
DC2, located in north Orlando, began live operation in July of
2005. DC2 was designed and conditioned to the highest of standards.
DC2 has gone through over 150 hours of network testing, and
stress testing, with disaster recovery planners, and proved it can stand up to
any possible error.
The primary objective in designing this facility was to ensure the electrical
and mechanical systems were mission critical and equally important, efficiently
maintained to support scalability and sustain principal performance. Our data
centers include complete redundancy in power, network connectivity, fire
suppression, and unparalleled security & safety.
Building Description
- 12,000 square feet (Expandable to 50,000 sq. feet in phases)

and technology we proudly deliver exceptional service, support, and hosting
solutions in our region and throughout the world.
About Our Hardware
100% Cisco powered even down to the access layer. Cisco certified network engineers are
on-site 24/7 to handle any network
issues that may arise (i.e. denial of service attacks, connectivity issues, etc.)
At the network's core, there are (2) Cisco 6506 routers, providing Layer 3
routing. The network it's self is fault tolerant. If one provider was to fail,
BGP would notice the route going offline and would provide the next best route.
The same theory is applied to our routers. If one router was too fail
(physically down) the other router knows to pick up the traffic and load
till the failed router returns and is ready to pickup traffic. Traffic is split
between the routers at all times due to diverse provider entry.
Beyond the network core we have a distribution level. This level is equally
redundant as the core with every switch having a failover or alternative path.
This setup means if one main core switch goes down, it will use the secondary
switch, leaving traffic flowing, even in the event of equipment failure.
This setup allows us to be completely redundant to the core level, giving your
server the best route and reliability available.
