We own the data center..
Unlike most hosting companies, we own the facility our equipment is
housed in. The majority of hosting companies are co-located
with a outsourcing company. In the event there
are problems, we are right there to fix it.
Our Network Features:
Multiple DS1 connections. Network is fully
switched with top quality components from Cisco systems. The entire
N.O.C is wired with 100mbps Cat5 wiring. E-mail is delivered in
seconds, web pages load quickly, and file transfers are fast...
Full Router & Network backups
We have an extra cisco router (3600 series) on standby in the event one of our
routers had massive failure. We can simply plug in the ethernet
and wic cards to the other router. Within 5 minutes things would be up and running again.
We also have an additional 10/100 HP Switch on standby in the case we had switch failure.(Situation is highly unlikely)
Full power backup
The operation center is fully equipped with battery backups from APC.
A 40,000 Watt John Deere Diesel Generator is installed in a separate building in the event of a large
power outage.
An auto-transfer switch will kick the generator on within 30 seconds in the
event of an outage. No human intervention is needed to start it. The apc power backups buffer
power until the generator has started, in which is maintains power to the entire facility.
No overloaded servers
We do not overload our servers like most hosting companies do. Once we have
250 sites on a single server, we add another server to our network to accomodate
new customers. Most hosting companies will put between 500-1000 sites per
server.
