Security facilities are engineered to offer a superior infrastructure for continuous Internet operations. IDC has invested in its facilities and network infrastructure to ensure continuous availability, reliability and scalability. The key features of the data centers are as follows -

Each Internet Data Center is designed to eliminate any single point of failure Combine high speed Internet backbones with robust peering agreements to ensure effective distribution of data, reducing the time it takes for the end customer to reach the servers.

Each state-of-the-art Internet Data Center provides the reliable, redundant and high-performance infrastructure demanded by today’s mission-critical Internet systems.

N+1 Engineering

IDC uses the "n+1" engineering model for all its design. The total capacity requirement of any specific element of infrastructure (bandwidth, power, air conditioning, etc) is calculated based on the design assumptions.

This capacity requirement is then spread across "n+1" (or "n+multiple") infrastructure components (Telecom lines / Routers / UPS systems / Air handlers, etc), with "n" components being sufficient to carry the full capacity requirement. This design thus ensures that even if one of the components were to fail, the remaining "n" components would automatically take up the load with absolutely no reduction in the level of performance of the Data center.
