Windows Hosting > Network Detail
The NOC is a 24/7 facility with multiple loops of redundancy. It has been engineered from the ground up to accommodate the high-availability demands of the internet's most popular websites. The datacenter and network have been optimized for outsourcing web servers.

Uninterruptible Power System
To guard against local power failures, our NOC has 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 back-up systems in place, we can keep our network up and running indefinitely without relying on external power.

Redundant 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.

Connected to Three Backbones
The NOC is connected to three tier 1 backbones. They include Genuity, AT&T & Qwest. Each backbone is made up of thousands of miles worth of fiber optic cabling and multiple ATM nodes throughout the world.

Network Redundancy
The NOC uses intelligent end-user routing software called Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) between its backbone providers. BGP identifies which path is the most efficient for each data packet and then routes the packet to its destination on the fastest path.

Infrastructure
Our Class A Co-location Internet Data Center located at Netaxs, Bethlehem, PA, USA. Key factors in selecting the right facility include the reliability and redundancy of the internal center components and external network to the Internet. Our Data Centre provides redundant power sources, multiple data paths, and multiple backbone access. Security is at the top of the list and they have designed a top-notch system to provide logistical features such as fire suppression systems, motion sensors, 24/7 secured access, and security alarms.

Data Centre Specifications :
Over 7,000 square feet of Class A Co-location center on 18" raised floor. Liebert precision air conditioning systems with Critical control of temperature, humidity and air quality. Under-floor power and data distribution systems. Fully ventilated data cabinets. Individual keying system for security and convenience and Power distribution system included in cabinet. Centralized Liebert Power Protection with Full-time power conditioning, Full-time surge suppression, UPS (battery backup), Load monitored Liebert power distribution systems, Cummins Onan standby power generation and Fully monitored diesel powered generator set.

FM-200 Clean Agent fire suppression system with Rapid extinguishing system (10 seconds or less) Active on fire... inert on people. Affords the greatest protection against business interruptions due to fire. Pre-Action Sprinkler System. As an extra protection against catastrophic fire damage Sprinkler pipes remain dry under normal operation. Pipes are "charged" with water only after FM-200 deluge. Still requires sustained heat to open sprinkler valve. 24/7 Photo ID Security Access, 24/7 Video Surveillance, 24/7 monitored security alarm system.

Reliability
99% uptime with Redundant multiple connections to national backbone providers. OC3 and T3 data circuits. Managed 24/7 Network Operations Center with Monitoring and Security Alarming for each server circuit.
