6x uses state of the art Cisco router, Cisco IDS, and HP switches. We
use dual automatic redundant HVAC (climate control) for maximum
server reliability. We use dual power backup including UPS systems
for all equipment and a Natural gas powered generator system with
an automatic transfer panel. Should utility power ever fail, the
UPS systems kick in and powers 
the
entire network while the generator automatically starts, warms
up, and then switches from utility to generator power. This whole
process takes less then 1 minute. When utility power is restored,
the automatic transfer panel switches back. The UPS systems also
condition and voltage regulate incoming power to ensure consistent
and clean power to all servers, routers and switches. We support
all sizes and shapes of servers from 1U rackmount to full tower
cases. All servers have a dedicated switch port for the best in
speed and security. 
6x Technologies uses 24 count SONET Ring fiber optic connection.
This ring, at the absolute minimum, has the capability for at least
6 OC-192s. 6x is currently utilizing an OC12 MUX on this ring,
however, in less than 30 minutes this can be upgraded to anything
from a single OC-48 to multiple OC 192s. Fiber optic lines are much
more reliable then copper because they are not subject to electrical
interference and they do not require electrical repeaters to boost
the signal. This leaves less points of failure and exempts fiber
from failure do to weather conditions including lightning and water.
In addition, fiber optical cabling has a much greater capacity for
bandwidth then coppe
r.
In fact, a quarter inch fiber optical cable can easily carry as
much bandwidth as many many feet of copper cable. The SONET ring
technology carries the fiber optical cable in a ring giving any
point on the ring access to any other point on the ring even if
the cable (ring) is cut. With copper cable, a cut will disconnect
the two ends. It is important to note that many data centers and
hosting companies share bandwidth and lines, whether fiber optic
or copper. 6x uses private dedicated 24 count fiber line
and private dedicated internet connections (bandwidth).
Neither the fiber optic cabling, nor the bandwidth is shared.
