Facilities

MURCOM's Internet Data Center is located in the ONEOK plaza building in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma.  ONEOK is a class A facility that has become one of Tulsa's most popular facilities for Telecommunications Carriers.  By locating our facilities in ONEOK we are able to directly connect to Verizon/MCI, Level3/WilTel, Time Warner/Xspedius, SBC, Cox, and others with less than 400 feet of cable.  By eliminating local loops, MURCOM's reliability is increased by over 80%.

Cooling

MURCOM core network utilizes Dual Chilled Water cooling units with 42 degree water supplied by TRIGEN.  ONEOK also uses TRIGEN chilled water systems as their primary cooling system and ONEOK also has its own chilled water system as a secondary backup.

Power

MURCOM's electrical power has a number of fail safe systems and designs.  First, to avoid downed power lines, the facility is feed by underground electrical cables.  These power lines are feed by one of two AEP substations that supply power for the downtown area.   Second, MURCOM uses multiple rack based UPS systems so that no single UPS failure will cause a network outage.  Third, we have an on-site electrical generator to support our primary network infrastructure and client severs in case of extended power failures.

MURCOM has a primary 480V power feed that is stepped down to 120/208 for general server use.  Contact us for a custom quote if you need 480V power.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does MURCOM charge to provide colo?
A: We have a number of typical packages on our Colocation page.  If these packages do not suite your application, we will provide a custom quote for any colo configuration you request.

Q: What if I need custom racks for my equipment?
A: We will allow you to supply the racks or we will buy and install the racks that you specify.  Custom pricing would apply.

Q: Does MURCOM provide the servers?
A: No.  We give our colo clients the Freedom of Choice to use any OS, any Server, any type of equipment that best suits their needs.  We'll provide you with colo space and bandwidth of unsurpassed quality.  You provide the hardware and software of your choice.

Q: What if I want to colo a server with quad processors and tera bytes of RAID disks?  Do you charge more if I use powerful servers?
A: No & Yes.  Unlike other colo providers that may charge you a higher fee if you have a server with more RAM or RAID, we charge by the amount of rack space and electrical power the server uses, not by the computing capacity of the server.  We charge the same price for a 1U Celeron server with 128Meg and 20 Gig Drive as we do for a 1U Dual 3Mhz Xeon with 4Gigs of RAM and 500Gig of RAID Drives.  The rack space and bandwidth would be the same but you would probably have to pay an extra $34 for the additional electrical power required for the more powerful server.  If you need to colo small or monster servers, MURCOM probably will save you money over the other providers.  A number of MURCOM clients have recently upgraded their servers to more powerful yet smaller servers and have saved monthly colo fees by doing this.

Q: Does MURCOM provide any server administrative support?
A: Yes.  Your colo service includes remote hands of our techs.  They will assist you remotely if you need simple things such as a reboot, moving a network cable, or some other simple function.  MURCOM techs do not offer hardware replacement, installation, or software installation services.

Q: Are your facilities really in Tulsa, Oklahoma?
A: Yes.  Unlike other companies that you may find when you search with "Tulsa Colocation", MURCOM is located in Tulsa.  Most of the others that you may find do not have facilities in Tulsa or even in Oklahoma.  If you need access to your equipment in Tulsa, it is here.
