A seamless blending of UNIX and
Microsoft® technologies
The functionality of
closed source "Windows® hosting" and open source "UNIX hosting"
onto one platform. With this seamless blending of UNIX and
Microsoft technologies, our hosting system is truly
"cross-platform". Cross-platform systems are accepted by the
industry academics as they way of the future. Only cross-platform
solutions offer enhance functionality today without reducing your
technology choices tomorrow. "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"
That's a question worth asking.
Take advantage of BGP4
technology
Multiple redundant
Internet connections, currently provided by UUNET, LOOK
Communications and Sprint are implemented through the use of BGP4
(Border Gateway Protocol). Bandwidth is monitored and
upgraded as needed.
Multiple routers and
load balancers
Multiple routers are made
redundant through the use of Cisco's HSRP (Hot Swappable Router
Protocol). Server clusters use multiple load balancing hardware,
designed for failover in the event of a load balancer fault.
Network Appliance
filers assure speed and data integrity
Data integrity and speed
are assured by multiple Network Appliance Filers using RAID-5
technology. Three backup systems are in place; one is on-site and
two are off-site at geographically separated data centers. The
systems are continually monitored for reliability and performance
by NOC staff. The data centers are protected through electrical
power backup, independent air conditioning units and physical
security measures.
Fully redundant server
clusters AND networks!
Networks are as reliable
as they get, but to ensure the reliability of our systems each
site is hosted on two independent networks. Yes that's right!
Every domain is hosted on two fully redundant server and network
platforms. In the rare event that one server or network goes down,
the other keeps your site running. It's like having two hosts,
only better, since failover is instant and automatic! When we say
99.9% uptime, we mean it!
