Data Center Overview
Our connectivity comes from multiple redundant 2000 Mbps
GIG-E connections to the Internet via four of the largest
tier-1 backbones in existence (including Qwest, AT&T,
UUNET, Level3, Genuity, Time Warner and Yipes). All servers
are housed in secure racks in an air-conditioned, static
electricity controlled environment behind locked doors and
full security system. They are protected by surge
suppression and power management systems to ensure
uninterrupted server operations. A professional team of
highly trained technicians monitors the network 24/7/365 to
guarantee smooth and uninterrupted operation of your site
and server.
