• Hosting matters: Once your website, web-based content management or application solution is completed and in production, you want to be confident beyond any doubt that it's securely, professionally hosted and highly available for users and administrators. Monolithic hosting vendors where you're just another face in the crowd, hosting system outages, security threats, and third party vendor failures can jeopardize any web solution no matter how well built and configured it may be. Hosting outages = bad news for you and your users. 

• Your hosting advantage: With Parkview, your hosted solution is as secure and reliable as it gets. Parkview has a long term colocation partnership with an industry leading data center just 10 minutes from our office in nearby Oak Brook, IL. Our data center partner has achieved Tier III SAS70 Type II compliant status, the highest data center quality standard awarded. In plain English, this means that when you get a Parkview hosted web solution, you get one of the most sophisticated, powerful and secure data centers in the country along with it.

• Quality data center: Our world-class data center was zoned, designed and constructed to provide a complete range of hosting, colocation and managed IT service options, while providing business continuity, disaster avoidance, and disaster recovery solutions. This helps Parkview reduce operational, maintenance, and manpower expenses while increasing security and reliability.

• At 86,000 square feet, this is one of the largest Tier III data centers in the Midwest. It has specifically been built to safeguard mission critical data and accommodate both Parkview's and your future growth and change. When viewing the outside of the building, one can see that it maintains a very low profile. The exterior is completely anonymous, while blending with the surrounding area.

• To protect our/your in-production web solutions, the data center maintains a tight and multi-layered security system. Video surveillance and electronic motion sensors provide continuous interior and exterior observation and 30-day retained storage.

• The building’s single entry point is outfitted with sophisticated security sensors, vandal-resistant and bullet-proof glass, full biometric hand scanning and CircleLock mantraps.

• To complement the data center’s physical security features, an armed guard monitors the data center 24/7/365. The outside of the building, or building envelope, was designed and constructed to withstand extreme temperatures, high winds, floods, fire, impact, pollution and electro-magnetic interference.

      Fire Safety 

• Fire safety begins with prevention and early detection. The data center's dry-pipe, four stage VESDA® air-sampling smoke detector uses laser detection and light scattering technologies to provide the earliest possible warning of an impending fire.

• In the unlikely event of fire, the fire suppression system is automatically triggered to prevent damage, disruption and injury. Additionally, CleanGuard® fire extinguishers are strategically located throughout the data center.

      Water Protection 

• Inside, water and moisture protection is paramount. The roof of the data center has a fully adhered, rubber membrane system with isocyanurate insulation.

• Below ground, there is an enclosed containment pump evacuation system which controls all water run off. 

      Cooling System 

• To eliminate hot spots in the data center and constantly maintain the availability of all systems, there are twenty rooftop 135-ton Trane compressors. They provide optimum cooling power to the colocation area, are 2N+1 capable and run with efficiency and reliability.

• Three 20-ton Liebert cooling loops provide focused, high-efficiency cooling to the Network Core and Power Room areas.

      Primary and Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS)

• Uninterrupted access and premium bandwidth are critical to Parkview's colocation needs and your web solution requirements. That’s why our data center provides multiple, diverse fiber routing to Tier 1 carriers.

• Primary power is robust. The data center supplies more watts per square foot than any other data center in the Midwest and has the availability of 12.5 megawatts.

• A redundant Uninterrupted Power Supply prevents power spikes, surges and brownouts. And because it's equipped with N + 1 diesel generators, each with a 2,000-gallon belly tank, the data center has enough stand-by power to stay up and running in the event of a commercial power failure.                 

      Service and Support  

• All this high quality technology means very little without a highly qualified team of professionals on-site standing behind every aspect of data center operations, security, quality assurance, and troubleshooting. Our data center includes a highly secure Network Operations Center staffed by skilled, experienced Internetworking professionals.

• The data center provides real-time monitoring and traffic management for all detected issues. Problems are proactively detected, tracked, and acted upon for immediate resolution. The trained staff of engineers and support personnel provide technical and logistical support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

• Parkview has on-demand access to expert on-site help with custom installations, equipment troubleshooting, and remote management.
