GlobalHosting Network
| Multi-Homed Backbone Connection |
| GlobalHosting is directly connected to 9 Tier-1 providers, including MCI, AT&T, Qwest, Level(3), Sprint, Cable & Wireless, Digex, NTT/Verio, and Global Crossing providing the best speed and redundancy possible. Our Intelligent Routing Technology selects the best path out of 9 major backbones and gets your data get from point A to point B in the fastest, most reliable, and least-congested path possible.
|
| Power Redundancy
|
| The facility draws power from four separate power grids. In the event of a power outage, the UPS systems will provide power to the facility for 120 minutes, and within 7 seconds of a failure, the diesel
generators will be at full operating capacity. |
| Dedicated Connection |
| Some web providers operate an additional dial-up Internet service
which slows down their connection to the Internet. We are not Internet Access providers - our scalable bandwidth
connection is entirely dedicated to web hosting. |
| Machine Uptime Monitor |
| We
have software that pings your server every minute to make sure
that the box is accessible from within our network as well as from outside
our network. If the server cannot be pinged, the software will send an e-mail and page our system engineers immediately. |
| Web Server Monitor |
| One
of our tools monitors the Apache web server on a one minute interval to
ensure that it is up and serving pages. Every minute, we request a page
from the http daemon. If it does not respond, our software will flag it and
test it next time through. After 3 attempts the tool executes a reload on
the http daemon. Then a minute later it will request a page again. If
there is still no response, after one more attempt, a page is sent to our
support to manually look into the situation. This software works to make
sure that your server is serving pages 24/7. |
| Memory Monitor |
| This
monitoring tool will make sure that no process takes up more than a
certain percentage of your machines’ available memory. If a process
consumes more than the maximum allotment, it will be temporarily killed
off and the situation will be reported to our NOC staff. |
| Port Monitor |
| We
actively monitor all commonly used ports, not only to make sure that they
are open, but to verify that they are actually passing data. The script
does this by asking for data. if the port does not respond, it will be
restarted by the monitoring tool. |
| Firewalls |
| A firewall is a security device that
secures the server from possible attacks. It is placed between the server and the Internet to moderate and document
requests for data access according to a predefined set of security policies. Every GlobalHosting server comes
equipped with a software firewall. In addition to the server firewalls, our entire network is secured through a circuit level firewall (NetScreen), providing one more
level of security for mission-critical data. |
| Automated Security Monitoring |
| GlobalHosting provides a full range of
security services to ensure the safety and integrity of mission-critical data. As more businesses harness the power
of the web, reliable and secure public communication is an ever-increasing need. We proactively monitor system processes on each server as well as across our entire network.
These monitoring programs are designed to halt and report all intrusions to the system and provide our customers with the peace of mind they need to conduct secure business transactions from your servers. |
