Web Hosting Infrastructure

Our network is powered by Cisco technologies, and is connected to redundant Tier 1 providers. We're also Certified by Security Metrics and PCI/DSS compliant with all of the major credit card security programs.

• All hosting is backed by our 99.8% uptime guarantee.
• We use DELL PowerEdge servers which are dual Xeon/SCSI based for the best performance.
• We do not overload our servers, this allows our servers to be fast and responsive.
• Each service provided is hosted on it's own dedicated Windows 2008 server. IE: SQL Server, WWW, etc.
• All hosting is backed-up daily and recoverable up to 3 days.

Speed & Scalability - The physical layer of our network consists of a number of interconnected OC-192 backbones. With transit from only Tier 1 backbone providers, including AT&T, Qwest and Level 3, UUNET & Verio, and have multi-gigabytes of high quality provisioned data capacity with virtually unlimited scalability. We do not utilize bandwidth from any "discount" providers.

Intelligent Routing - We utilize dynamically controlled BGP to provide intelligent, fail-safe routing, to assure uptime and deliver superior performance. We route your users to the fastest available connection to ensure maximum connection speed and virtually eliminate down time.

Redundancy & Backup Power - Built-in redundancy through multiple redundant network connections and redundant router and switch configuration. We provide a redundant Need+1 (N+1) design of uninterruptible power supplies utilizing two separate commercial power feeds from two separate power grids to provide power to the center. Five redundant standby generators guarantee consistent operation in the event of a power failure from commercial power. These generators are equipped with 72 hours of diesel fuel on site, and two contractors are on call to refuel to the storage tanks.

Physical Security - Our facilities are manned with 24/7 security personnel. Badge/photo ID access screening as well as biometric access screening are employed for an added level of security. We have installed a dual door floor trap design for access to the raised floor area, and we require escorts to gain access to raised floor areas. Sensitive security areas within the center are protected by motion sensors and security breach alarms, and video cameras installed throughout the center are continuously monitored by security personnel.

Network Security - All of our systems are designed to maintain a quality of service throughout the network by prioritizing packets to maintain an order of precedence of services. Each network device is equipped to filter out DOS attacks. We also offer intelligent, multilayer access control that can be utilized to protect the network from the impact of attacks while reducing the risk of inadvertently discarding legitimate traffic.
