Your site will operate from a top-end Dell Dual Xeon processor 2.4 GHz with 2.0 GB of RAM and
Dual Raid SCSI Drive running RedHat Linux Enterprise V3.0. Linux is an extremely stable
operating system which has gained an excellent reputation as a result of its reliability and
high performance. Our servers have plenty of RAM and fast processors. You can
rest assured that we will always upgrade our equipment as necessary to keep your site running
quickly and reliably.
It sure will! All servers are fed from a multi-homed OC192 super high speed backbone
connection using top quality components from Cisco Systems. Our OC192 backbone is a
fiberoptic Internet connection. This means that your connection will be at almost 9.6 Gb/s,
whereas the average modem transfers at 56 Kb/s. That's a 170,000 fold difference! To
put it another way, an OC192 is equivalent to over 6,200 T1's, or over 200 T3's. That's a
lot of bandwidth!
Our facility has full backup power including a backup generator in case of extended power
outages. The center is monitored 24 hours a day by a comprehensive security system
supplemented by video surveillance equipment. All servers are fed with conditioned
UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) power that will run if utility power fails. The
UPS power subsystem is N+1 redundant with instantaneous failover in case the primary UPS
fails. In the event of an extended power outage, an on-site diesel generator can run
indefinitely. The generator is regularly tested to ensure that it will continue to
function in the event of an emergency.
Our servers are located in Houston, Texas USA. Because of the climate and geological
stability of the area, you can rest assured that your server is safe from earthquakes!
We have a 99.9% uptime track record so in most months you can expect 100% uptime.
