Our Atlanta, Georgia Datacenter is located in one of
the 2 main Telco Hotel vaults in Atlanta.
Our Miami, Florida Datacenter is located in the DigiPort
NOC Facility in Miami.
Both of our Data Centers features high level security,
raised flooring, climate-control, UPS power supply,
fire suppression system as well as multiple redundant
connections to major backbones such as AboveNet, Verio,
Williams, UUNET, Level3, Sprint and Verizon. The Data
Centers are also equipped with backup batteries and
diesel generators, Cisco routers and switches; and is
staffed 24x7 by qualified system administrators and
engineers. All servers are secured in a state of the
art Smart POP; monitored by both on hand technicians,
IP cameras and door security via Hand geometry reader;
OC3C connections are physically diverse and Sonet protected;
dual power feeds backed up with UPS, Rectifiers, Batteries
and Generator to ensure our customers have near zero
down time. Our Data Centers uses industry-standard SNMP
(Simple Network Management Protocol) and provides round-the-clock
monitoring of all hardware, including routers, switches,
UPS systems, and servers. The Data Centers also monitors
power, environmental factors (such as temperature and
humidity), generator status, and network connectivity.
All critical services/ports are monitored, including
FTP, HTTP, SMTP, HTTPS, SSH and POP3.
What is BGP4?
BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is a protocol for exchanging
routing information between gateway hosts (each with
its own router) in a network of autonomous systems.
BGP is often the protocol used between gateway hosts
on the Internet. The routing table contains a list of
known routers, the addresses they can reach, and a cost
metric associated with the path to each router so that
the best available route is chosen.
Hosts using BGP communicate using the Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) and send updated router table
information only when one host has detected a change.
Only the affected part of the routing table is sent.
BGP-4, the latest version, lets administrators configure
cost metrics based on policy statements. (BGP-4 is sometimes
called BGP4, without the hyphen.)
BGP communicates with autonomous (local) networks using
Internal BGP (IBGP) since it doesn't work well with
IGP. The routers inside the autonomous network thus
maintain two routing tables: one for the interior gateway
protocol and one for IBGP. BGP-4 makes it easy to use
Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR), which is a way
to have more addresses within the network than with
the current IP address assignment scheme.
Data Center Features:
Security System: Keeping your server secure
is our number one priority. Our datacenter is monitored
24/7 by our security station in the lobby. Our guards
are required to make routine physical checks of essential
systems and perimeter entrances.
Backup Power Generators: The building is supplied
with double power feeds from the utility company. In
the event of a power outage, the data center is equipped
with a 750 KVA diesel generator. The generator is tested
every week. When a power outage is detected, the generator
will start automatically within 15 seconds. With one
tank of gas in the generator, it can power 10000 servers
for 72hours. Fuel can be added to keep the network up
and running indefinitely.
The data center also uses Powerware power conditioning
units and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). This UPS
has been installed to constantly monitor and regulate
the quality of power coming from the wall so that equipment
always receives the clean 120-volt power it was designed
for.
Cables: Through combining bundles of fiber optics
with the redundant network engineering, we're able create
alternate routes through which data can travel. This
effectively maximizes the throughput speed and capacity
of each strand of fiber-optic cable. The result is an
ultra-fast, ultra-reliable network connection on which
you and your customer can rely on.
Technical Support: Our customer technical support
center knows no time zone and no time limits. No matter
where you are or at what time, our chat, support email
system and phones give you access to technical support
24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Feel free to email
our support with any network related questions you may
have.
