About PlanetHosted! Reseller WebHosting! Virtually Private Servers! Support Center! PlanetHosted Network!
 
     PlanetHosted has its servers located in ThePlanet's Datacenter. The Planet currently owns and operates two state of the art data centers in Dallas, Texas, offering complete redundancy in power, HVAC, fire suppression, network connectivity, and security.

     With over 53,000 sq ft of raised floor between the two facilities, The Planet has an offering to fit any need. Our product offerings include private caged suites, cabinets, half-cabinets, tri-cabinets, and rackspace by the Unit. The datacenter facility sits atop multiple power grids driven by TXU electric, with PowerWare UPS battery backup power and dual diesel generators onsite. Our HVAC systems are condenser units by Data Aire to provide redundancy in cooling coupled with ten managed backbone providers. Twelve more third party backbone providers are available in the building via cross connect. Fire suppression includes a pre-action dry pipe system including VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) with over 700 smoke detectors between the two facilities.

Our network architecture utilizes the Enterprise routing and switching engines from Juniper and Cisco. We utilize Juniper M20 routers as border routers, Cisco 6500 series switches in our distribution layer and Cisco 6500 switches in our aggregation layers, and Cisco 3500 and 2900 series switches at the customer layer. Our network is fully meshed and redundant with 11 backbone providers.
