Data Center

Application Hosting Environment‘s data center is engineered to the highest levels, with extensive systems to address security and network redundancy, enabling us to offer our 100% infrastructure availability guarantee.

Security

Access to data centers is restricted. Public access is strictly forbidden. All entrances and common areas are monitored by a Federal guard force and security systems.

Environment

Our data centers' HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) systems are state of the art with an advanced fire-suppression system is in place to prevent any fire from spreading - in the unlikely event that one could start.

Power

Power systems in the AHE data center is designed to run uninterrupted even in the unlikely event of a total power outage. All servers are fed with conditioned UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) power that will run if utility power fails. In the event of an extended power outage, on-site diesel generators can run indefinitely. Generators are regularly tested to ensure functionality in the event of an emergency.
