| Data Center |
| We have chosen to locate our mission critical
equiptment in the Texas.net Data Foundry facility in Austin
Texas. We found their combination of physical and network security,
proximity to our key people and their bottom line profitability
as an organization an easy choice. While many data centers are
somewhat dirty or industrial in feel, the attention to detail
in this center speaks for itself. The photographs on this page
are of the Data Foundry data center. |

| 24/7 Human Presence |
| The data center is manned 24 hours
a day 365 days a year by network engineers. Personnel monitor
the condition of the networks, the physical plant and even the
incoming weather and the local news. The distance from the Network
Operation Center (shown) to Red Widget equipment is about 15
feet. |
|
| Security |
| Built inside a bank vault, with access by
biometrics means, security in the data center is first rate.
After passing the palm scan and entering the bank vault, qualified
personnel are then left in a man trap until they are identified
by Network personnel. |

|
| Network |
| All traffic flowing to Red Widget sites pass
through here. Multiple independent fiber channels bring the
network to the building. Bandwidth is provided by three OC12 circuits
(AT&T, Broadwing, and Cable & Wireless). |
