Primus Ottawa Data Centre - History

Primus Canada Business Services' first Ottawa, Ontario Data Centre opened in 2000 and the new, second Ottawa Data Centre officially opened in June 2007 and is located in a secure, unmarked facility. Ottawa's facilities are "class A" data centres with multiple connections to telco fibre rings, advanced security system, a 24 hour Network Operation Centre (NOC), fire suppression system, uninterrupted power supply (UPS) and a high capacity generator.

Primus Ottawa Data Centre - Building Specs

  • Anti-static 18" raised floors, leveled by laser for accuracy
  • Single secure entrance for customers and staff
  • Server room is divided into three areas:
    • An area dedicated for Primus equipment
    • An area for customers' servers
    • An area with dedicated cages for larger customers

Primus Ottawa Data Centre - Features

  • State-of-art security

    • Biometric security enforced through an iris scanner offers one of the most accurate, non-invasive security measures to ensure only authorized people enter the facility
    • Guarded entrances have security cameras to scan and digitally record the interior and exterior of the facility 24 hours a day
    • Security cameras incorporate low-light technology to allow clear visibility at night

  • UPS systems and a high capacity generator

    • 650 Kilowatt diesel generator that holds enough fuel for 24 hours of runtime at 100% capacity
    • Generator housed in a separate secure underground sound insulated bunker
    • In the event of a power failure, the generator requires only five seconds to start and reach maximum generating capacity
    • All equipment in the Internet Data Centre server room is powered from UPS systems designed with redundant NuWave modular UPS to ensure the equipment continues to operate in the event of a power failure

  • The Network Operation Centre (NOC)

    • Staff monitor the network and provide support for managed server and firewall services for clients
    • Staff use remote hands assistance, including rebooting servers or rotating tapes, and assist clients through the data centre

  • Redundant Cooling System

    • The server room has tonnes of redundant cooling delivered by Liebert systems, each unit with redundant compressors and AC units that are computer controlled to maintain temperature and humidity in the facility

  • Fire Suppression System

    • Fire suppression capabilities are executed through FM-200 gas that extinguishes fire without water, to ensure no water damage to the IDC's equipment
    • The back-up sprinkler system is installed and operates as a pre-action system, keeping pressurized air in the pipes
    • The air is only replaced with water when the pipes reach a high temperature and the smoke detection system determines there is an active fire due to smoke.
