Hardware
| Intel-Based Servers |
| Your site will be hosted on one of our continuously monitored, high performance servers. We only use the highest
quality parts and test all servers before we put an clients on them. All virtual hosting boxes are Dual Processor, Dual SCSI Hard Drives with RAID mirroring, so if one of the drives was to fail,
the other drive would continue to run normally until we replaced the failed drive. |
| State-of-the-Art
Facility |
|
Physical
facility is housed in a poured concrete sealed underground room, making it
resistant to natural disasters. State
of the art security monitoring system including intelligent card access
and 24x7 video surveillance. The temperature
and humidity in our NOC is regulated and monitored 24/7 and held at a constant 65 Degrees (F).
|
| Force-Filtered Cooling |
|
All the drives, motherboards, and power supplies of our computers are in cases
with a positive pressure filtered air environment. Two large fans pull air into
the protective case through filters, and the components within are cooled by
fans which circulate this purified air. The constant introduction of clean air
into the case creates a positive pressure environment, ensuring that dust and
particulates are swept out and never in. Raised floors that push air up through force filtered-air up through server cabinets. |
| Environmental Controls |
|
Liebert Systems provide air conditioning and
humidification control, keeping the NOC at a constant 65 Degrees (F).
If
spark or fire is detected, the alarm will go off and a technician will use a FM-200 extinguisher to remove all oxygen from the area (FM-200 is an environmentally friendly version of halon and is
safe on sensitive equipment).
|
| Standby Servers |
|
We keep spares on-line of all CPU configurations. If your server were to
experience a hardware failure we would literally turn a key, grab the handle on
your drive, pull it out, and insert it into an identical standby CPU. We would
reboot the second machine and your site would be up and running again in a
matter of minutes. |
| Hot Swap Drives |
|
The drives and drive bays of our servers are all constructed from high-grade aluminum, and rest in a Shock Mounted
Drive Cage, which adds to the durability of the hardware. The drives are hot swappable, which means that if any part
of the server were to fail we could simply insert your drive into an identical standby machine. This entire process
takes under 5 minutes. In addition, we backup our servers nightly. If a drive has a problem, all we have
to do is copy your backup (never more than 24 hours old) onto a standby machine which is already on-line. Your
virtual hosting
site is up and running within a matter of minutes. |
| Redundant Hot
Swap Power Supplies |
|
Each server has dual redundant hot swap power supplies. If one of these power supplies were to fail, the
server would not go down because each power supply is capable of running the server by itself, indefinitely.
Meanwhile, alarms would alert our technicians to the problem; they would restore redundancy by swapping out the
failed unit with one of our spares and then service the old unit. During all this, your site would never be down
(virtual hosting). |
| Facility Equipment
|
-
All
servers connected to our network via Fast Ethernet (100MB/second).
-
The facility backbone consists of Foundry Gigabit switches, Cisco Catalyst switches, HP ProCurve switches, and Cisco routers.
-
Full Backup System on network
with daily backups (virtual hosting).
