Our Server

The hardware a hosting company uses is very important as it can have a large affect on its reliability and performance. This is why we take great care in selecting hardware used in our servers to enable us to have maximum reliability and performance.

		AMD Opteron (tm) 2.0GHz x 2 - One of the fastest processors available on the market today. Used in many enterprise servers and gives amazing performance.
		2GB DDRII RAM - This is the memory of the system where web pages and scripts are stored when being used. With a server, a large amount of memory is needed. We use DDR memory for maximum speed to make the system run as fast as possible.
		RAID 10 Disk Arrays - We use Wide Ultra-3 SCSI RAID 10 disk arrays to protect your data against hard disk failures, and allows us to offer our users generous web space allowances. RAID 10 gives amazing performance making the server run smoothly and your sites run as fast as possible.
		Dual Gigabit (1000Mbit) network cards - Having Gigabit network cards is a feature not seen on many servers, and is used by us to allow maximum data transfer for amazing performance.

Uninterruptible Power System

To guard against local power failures, our servers utilize two industrial-grade, three phase Liebert UPS systems. These act as back-up batteries, maintaining uninterrupted power in case of surges or power outages. With these backup systems in place, we can keep our network up and running indefinitely without relying on external power.

Force Filtered Cooling

All web servers are equipped with a positive pressure filtered-air system. Four large fans pull filtered air into each server's protective case and the components within are cooled by fans which circulate this purified air. This constant introduction of clean air into the case creates a positive pressure environment ensuring dust and particles remain outside of the server.

Hot Swap Drives

The drives and drive bays of all servers are constructed from high-grade aluminum, and rest in shock mounted drive cages, which adds to the durability of the hardware. Our drives proudly feature the lowest failure rate in the industry.

Redundant Hot Swap Power Supplies

Each server employs dual-redundant hot swap power supplies. If a power supply were to fail, the server would continue running with power from the alternate supply. Meanwhile, alarms would alert a technician, who would quickly restore redundancy. In the meantime, servers and client sites would experience no downtime.

Industrial-Grade Air Conditioners

Our NOC has two Liebert ten ton industrial air conditioners, which condition our computer rooms and operations center. Our computer room is kept at an optimal temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

Standby Servers

We keep spare servers on-line of all CPU configurations. If a server were to experience a hardware failure, we would turn a key, grab the handle on the drive, pull it out, and insert it into an identical standby CPU. We would then reboot the second machine and the server would be up and running again in a matter of minutes.

 

Our Network

Our Network Operations Center resides in Houston, Texas. Our network has such state of the art features as fiber optic networking, OC3 connections, bandwidth on demand ability, redundant UPS systems, generator backup, VESPA detection systems, closed circuit monitoring of all areas and entrances, card key access, 24 hour guard manned security, redundant a/c systems, and fiber from 3 separate providers.

 

Network Infrastructure

Our network architecture utilizes the Enterprise routing and switching engines from Juniper and Cisco. We utilize Juniper M20 routers as border routers, Cisco 6500 series switches in our distribution layer and Cisco 6500 switches in our aggregation layers, and Cisco 3500 and 2900 series switches at the customer layer. Our network is fully meshed and redundant with 11 backbone providers.

Network Redundancy

Utilization of intelligent end-user routing software called Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), between Qwest, GC and GTE, who use the same protocol. BGP identifies which path is the most efficient for each data packet and then routes the packet to its destination on the fastest path. This increases the speed at which web pages sent from our NOC arrive at their destination.

Raw Performance Equals Low Latency/High Throughput

Too often providers operate their networks at three to four times responsible capacity. As a result, their corresponding transfer times reach over 300ms. Our network daily average is 27% of its capacity, with midday peak spikes reaching only 33% capacity. We guarantee you will be carried off our network in less than 80ms over a five minute average at any time of day or night.
