Our
custom built servers are optimized for 24/7/365 use. The typical
server configuration features dual Xeon processors at 2.4GHz with HT
technology,
1GB RAM and 18GB SCSI hard drives in a RAID configuration running
Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 .net. FreeBSD and Linux running on dual
AMD MP2200. Our email servers run exclusively on FreeBSD
(UNIX) with Apache. Part of our design features:
Uninterruptible
Power System
To guard against local power failures, Net@Hosting.com 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.
Industrial-Grade
Air Conditioners
Net@Hosting.com NOC has two Liebert 10 ton industrial air conditioners
that condition our computer rooms and operations center. Air temperature
is maintained at an optimal 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
Custom
Web Servers
Net@Hosting.com web servers are custom-built industrial machines
designed for a 24/7 web serving environment. All Net@Hosting.com servers
are equipped with dual-redundant, 400-watt power supplies, hot swap
Seagate Barracuda/Cheetah drives and force-filtered cooling systems. In
addition, our NOC is equipped with an inventory of identically
configured, burned-in standby servers.
Force
Filtered Cooling
All of Net@Hosting.com custom web servers are equipped with a
positive-pressure filtered-air system. Four large fans pull filtered air
into each server's protective case, and the components within are cooled
by fans that circulate this purified air. This constant introduction of
clean air into the case creates a positive pressure environment ensuring
that dust and particles remain outside the server.
Redundant
Hot Swap 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.
Standby
Servers
We keep spare servers online of all CPU configurations. If a server were
to experience a hardware failure, we would turn a key, grab the handle
on the drive, pull it out and insert it into an identical standby CPU.
We would then reboot the second machine, and the server would be up and
running again in a matter of minutes. |
