The Network
Our servers are housed in the planets
greatest data centre. We have joined six (6) different Tier one backbone
providers together to form the best network infrastructure in the industry.
If you want the lowest ping times, lowest latency, and best redundancy
available, host with us. Our backbone border routers are Juniper M20's and
our fully redundant switching layer comprises a certified six pack design of
Cisco™ 6500 series switches. All customer access switches in the datacenter,
and there are hundreds of them, are Cisco™ 2950 series switches designed for
maximum performance and uptime availability. Our current backbone provider
list running the BGP4 protocol is listed below.
The Datacenter
The data center is staffed 24/7/365.
The Data Center facility infrastructure starts with five diverse OC48 SONET
fiber rings and 1 OC192 SONET fiber ring, providing the basic connectivity
to six different Internet access carriers. The 35,000 square foot datacenter
is state of the art. The bare essentials are: A preaction dry-pipe sprinkler
system with 580 smoke detectors and a VESDA contaminate system to create a
full proof fire prevention system. 23 - 26 ton Data Aire down flow air
conditioners designed to run in complete redundancy formaximum cooling. 6
-500KVA Powerware UPS battery backup systems with 90 batteries each (540
total) for up to 80 minutes of UPS battery backup power. 2 - Cummins backup
generators. Big Moe, that's his name, is a 1.5Megawatt 16 cylinder diesel
with a 2200 gallon diesel fuel tank. Little Joe, the not-so-small guy, is a
1.0Megawatt 12 cylinder diesel with a 2000 gallon diesel fuel tank. The Data
Center can operate for 15 days on generator power without a refuel. Couple
these generators with three input electrical feeds to two different city
grids in downtown Dallas and our uptime guarantee on power is 100%.
The Guarantee
99.9% uptime guarantee. We stand by
our SLA. If we fail to deliver the level of service as promised, you get
dollars off your bill. It's that easy. |
