Datacenter
based in Atlanta for Servers & Co-Location
::
Our Atlanta based Datacentre operates a
single, highly secure, state-of-the-art Internet Data Center (IDC).
Located on the 4th floor of the 56 Marietta Street facility in the
heart of the technology sector in downtown Atlanta Georgia. This
building is strictly a carrier hotel and is the largest POP in the
Southeast providing access to most of the IP network providers
operating contenential United States. This facility basically serves
as the NAP for the Southeast without carrying that official title.
Locating our IDC in this facility has allowed Global Compass to take
advantage of the infrastructure already available in the building.

Global Compass has spared no expense deploying
the hardware and network infrastructure required to support the
mission critical applications of our data center customers. Unlike
many collocation companies that have incurred huge expenses deploying
and maintaining their own IP backbones, Global Compass has taken
advantage of the large number of providers with POP's already
installed in the 56 Marietta Street facility. We have leveraged these
options to provide the best price and the network diversity required
to support a 100% uptime guarantee.
The Core Infrastructure Consists of:
- Cisco 12008 GSR Gateway Routers
Redundant Cisco 12008 GSR's provide the flexibility and the
horsepower we require to uninterrupted interconnectivity with our
IP backbone providers.
- Foundry Big Iron 4000
Each customer is provided a secure VLAN port on our Foundry
Big Iron 4000 customer aggregate platform. This platform provides
the features and throughput required to insure your data will be
transmitted and unencumbered by other platforms in the facility.
- Cisco 2500 GigE Switches
The gateway and customer platform are interconnect with Cisco 2500
GigE switches and run OSPF internally to insure all data
transmission inside Global Compass' internal network are performed
as efficiently as possible.
- 4 Redundant Layer 3 GigE Circuits
4 GigE circuits to 4 separate IP backbones insure Global Compass
can always provide functional ingress and egress to a Tier 1 IP
backbone.
- Redundant Power Feeds
The building provides redundant power feeds and manages the power
to the Global Compass IDC from the Grady Hospital and Federal
Reserve power grids in downtown Atlanta. Should there be a massive
power outage in Atlanta the Grady Grid is always restored first.
- Class B IP Assingment
Global Compass has a class B assingment that insures we have the
flexibility to provide you with the IP allocation you require.
Transient Gig E Circuits:
- Atlanta - GigE Directly to UUnet Via Bellsouth
- Atlanta - GigE Directly to Epik
- Atlanta - GigE Directly to Sprint via Epik
- Atlanta - GigE Directly to Level 3
- Atlanta - GigE Directly to Verio
- Atlanta - GigE to MFN/Pnap providing interconnectivity to:
- Internap, AT&T, Cable and Wireless and UUnet
- Dual Bonded 100BaseT Directly to Cogent
Additionally, we allow our customers to
contract for IP backbone connectivity from any provider of their
choosing. We have the facilities in place to cross-connect and deliver
to your collocated platform any inbound telephony or IP network
capability from the vendor of your choice.
