Intergate.Manhattan A Stronghold for Data
Sabey purchased 375 Pearl Street in 2011 to create
Intergate.Manhattan (IGM), our agship Tier III New York City
data center. During our forty years of construction and develop-
ment, Sabey has acquired extensive expertise in appraising the
condition of existing buildings. IGM stands out for its robust
construction and, particularly, for the fact that it is purpose-built
for housing essential data center infrastructure.
375 Pearl Street was built in 1974 for New York Telephone to
serve as one of the main telecom switching centers for New York
City. The building is 32 stories high (552ft) and is made of con-
crete and steel, cross-braced for strength and stability.
This building is unique among data centers in that the structure
was designed and built specically for data center infrastructure
and required no retrotting. Ceiling heights range from 14ft to
23ft to accommodate any height cabinetry while providing deep
plenums for air circulation and cooling. Floor weight loads are
heavy and run from 150lbs to 400lbs/square foot. Massive
bustles run the height of the building on three sides to accom-modate IGMs robust electrical, ber and HVAC infrastructure.
Utilities enter each oor from several locations for maximum
exibility and efciency in laying out thedata center.The freight
elevator is 9ft high and 15ft wide and can support a maximum
weight of 12,000 lbs to accommodate bulky equipment.
I. Building Description
During an episode of extreme weather
conditions, Sabey Data Centers
priority is that our data centers remain
on line and operational at all times.
Faced with earthquake, ood or
hurricane, our data centers are sited,
designed and built to survive mostcatastrophic events. 375 Pearl Street,
our Intergate.Manhattan (IGM) location
in New York City, is a case in point.

When selecting a data center there are several important factors
to consider. Operations, building infrastructure and the natural
and built environments are the most important. Below is an
in-depth look at these factors.
Operations Management Team
Engineering and Security have staff on site 24x7x365. Engineerin
staff is carefully selected and trained on such things as formal
Emergency Operating Procedures (EOP) for various contingencie
IGM has contracts with key vendors for emergency response.
The building has shelter-in-place supplies for the operations team
should a local or regional event require personnel to stay at the
building for an extended period.
Building Infrastructure & Utilities
Electrical Power Distribution Resiliency
Upon completion of its new feed, IGM will have 18MW of power
with an ultimate capacity of 40MW. The building is served with
13.2kv high tension service feeders in an N+2 conguration.
The Con Edison IGM substation is deployed on the 2nd oor whic
is 46ft above sea level. Conduits carrying the feeders are
encased in concrete from the point of entry up to the Con Edison
IGM substation, thereby providing an additional measure of
protection from tampering, re and ooding.
Emergency Generator Resiliency & Fuel Capacity
IGM is served by two 3MW backup generators for the turnkey
data center oors and two 2.5MW generators to support the base
building. These generators were installed in an N+1 conguration
IGM can support up to twenty-four 3MW generators for powered
shell customers. The newly installed generators are located on
the 4th oor which is 96ft above street level. Floors 31, 4, 3 and 2
have space reserved for future generator installation.
IGM is equipped with fuel tanks with a capacity of 155,000
gallons. It has an approved permit to add additional fuel tanks
that will increase maximum capacity to 255,000 gallons. With
40MW of available power, Sabey estimates there will be enoughon site fuel reserve to power the generators for 72 hours on full
load. No other data center in the city is known to have equivalent
fuel storage capacity. Sabey also maintains contracts with three
individual fuel companies requiring fuel delivery on notice.
Due to New York City environmental codes, all fuel storage tanks
must be installed underground. (Section II continues)

II. Planning for a Catastrophe
Maintaining connectivity during extreme weather conditions and other disasters is an essential requirement for high-performing data
centers. Sabey safeguards its customers network access through the robustness of the ber plant, its location on IGMs 2nd oor
and through a redundant topology. Sabey is unique in its Intergate.Exchange feature, a carrier class service that connects all Sabeycampuses and is exclusive to our customers. Through IGX, customers at IGM can connect to any carrier in the country via one of
our west coast or central Washington campuses. Fully diverse and fully redundant, IGX provides business continuity and disaster
recovery capability. (Section II continues)

IGMs ber plant currently has two Points of Entry (POE) for carrier
cable. Sabey installed six (6-inch) conduits from each POE up to
the redundant Carrier Equipment Room/Meet Me Room (CER/
MMR) located on the 6th oor. Sabey is currently coordinating
efforts to install a third POE by Q1 2014.
Due to IGMs height and unimpeded line of sight, Sabey also
provides customers the ability to install GPS and microwave
antennas for networking and redundant data links. Sabey manages
and owns a ber ring between carrier hotels/colocations such as
60 Hudson, 32 Avenue of the Americas, 111 8th Ave and Seattle,
Washingtons Westin Building, a major west coast carrier hotel.
Some carrier hotels in Manhattan have heightened vulnerability
to ooding, e.g., both 60 Hudson and 111 8th Avenue are located
within FEMA Flood Zone A (see Figure 1). In the event of a disaster
that impacts service from any of the carrier hotels/colocations,Sabey has the ability via IGX to re-establish connections to any
carrier through its west coast data centers in Seattle and central
Washington. (Section II continues)

Natural and Built Environment
IGM is located in the Lower East Side and is at least a mile from Wall Street and the Freedom Tower, areas identied as potential high
value targets. IGM is also located within a one block circumference to 26 Federal Plaza, Department of Homeland Security and One
Police Plaza (NYPD headquarters). Close proximity to these highly secure structures enhances Intergate.Manhattans safety.
Between IGM and the East River is the Governor Alfred E. Smith apartment complex. In the event of ooding in the East River, water
must travel through the apartment complex up a 17ft grade and 1,056ft inward. IGM is designated within FEMA Zone C (Figure 1)
and in Zone 5 of the NYC Hurricane Evacuation map (Figure 2). To the south, the Brooklyn Bridge and its support structure provide a
breakwater. (Section II continues)

Figure 1 2013 FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map
Flood zones are geographic areas that FEMA has dened according to varying levels of ood risk.
These zones are depicted on a communitys Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) or Flood Hazard
Boundary Map. Each zone reects the severity or type of ooding in the area. The following are
FEMAs descriptions of moderate to low risk areas:
In communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program, ood insurance is
available to all property owners and renters in these zones:
Zone Description
B and X (shaded) Area of moderate ood hazard, usually the area between the limits of the
100-year and 500-year oods. Are also used to designate base oodplains of lesser hazards,
such as areas protected by levees from 100-year ood, or shallow ooding areas with average
depths of less than one foot or drainage areas less than one square mile.
C and X (unshaded)Area of minimal ood hazard, usually depicted on FIRMs as above the
500-year ood level.
IGM is located in FEMA Zone C (unshaded), the safest zone. (Section II continues)

Impacts
The impact of Hurricane Sandy
was devastating to many com-
panies located in downtown New
York City. Data centers were out of
commission for several months.
In fact, as of Q3 2013, the Wall
Street area is still in recovery.
Intergate.Manhattan experienced
no ooding as a result of storm
surge or any signicant damage
to the building from the storm
itself. Sabey operations and
management teams were on site
during the storm, monitoringthe building. Although Intergate.
Manhattan was not an operational
data center at the time, Verizon
Business Unit at 375 Pearl Street
remained up and operational
during and after the storm,
experiencing no loss of service.
This was, in part, due to careful
site selection. Sabey chose the
375 Pearl Street site a year and
a half prior to Sandy with theintention of re-designing it to
withstand a Category 3 hurricane
intact. Hurricane Sandy was a
Category 1 Hurricane at landfall.

**Results
Note From ASA: This chart was produced for the National Environmental Trust by Applied Science Associates and predicts worst case ooding from a Category II
Hurricane Storm Surge in the year 2100; the future ood elevation was determined by combining sea level rise predictions with storm surge elevations. Sea level
rise estimates were made using the Canadian Climate Centers GCM1 model. The storm surge elevations estimates came from the National Weather Services Storm
Surge Group at the National Hurricane Center and represent the maximum storm surge elevations that can be expected from a Category II Hurricane as calculated by
the SLOSH model.

Additional Findings
Sabey has submitted IGMs data to a qualied third party, RPS
Groups Applied Science Associates (ASA), to conrm that IGM
will meet the challenge of a Category 3 storm.
ASA provided Sabey with the NOAAs location specic worst
case storm surge estimates. IGM-375 Pearl Street is on the
edge of two model SLOSH (Sea Lake Overland Surges from
Hurricanes) cells (51,92 and 51,91). Based on the estimates
provided in the table below, IGM will sustain a Category 4
hurricane. This is based on the following criteria:
Conclusion
Hurricane Sandy was a tragic event for a great many people inthe Northeast. From an operational standpoint, Sabey has used
the event as an opportunity to evaluate IGMs performance and
take appropriate actions to assure its ability to withstand extreme
weather conditions.
1. 17.28ft elevation between 375 Pearl Street (IGM) and the
East River*
2. 1056ft straight line distance between the East River and
375 Pearl Street with multiple buildings in between.3. Con Edison switch gear installed on the second oor 46ft
above sea level
4. Con Edison feeders installed in conduit encased in concrete
from the POE to the 2nd oor.
*The 17.28ft elevation was validated by an independent study performed in 2013 by
Munoz Engineering.
