| Host-Manager's servers are located in a top U.S carrier class Datacenter
with over 11GBps of internet capactiy. The network is also BGP4 (border
gateway protocol) routed so if one of the backbone links went down another
would automatically take it's place. Some of our upstream providers are
listed below.
Our Servers
Extended Network
Host-Manager Hosting Services recognizes that down
time is not an option for your servers... a
substantial investment in hardware and facilities
ensures you are up and running on the web 24 hours
a day, seven days a week.
Uninterruptible Power System
To guard against local power failures, our
servers utilize 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 backup
systems in place, we can keep our network up and
running indefinitely without relying on external
power.
Force Filtered Cooling
All 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 which
circulate this purified air. This constant
introduction of clean air into the case creates a
positive pressure environment ensuring dust and
particles remain outside of the server.
Hot Swap Drives
The drives and drive bays of all servers are
constructed from high-grade aluminum, and rest in
shock mounted drive cages, which adds to the
durability of the hardware. Our drives proudly
feature the lowest failure rate in the
industry.
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.
Industrial-Grade Air Conditioners
Host-Manager Hosting Services NOC has two Liebert ten
ton industrial air conditioners, which condition
our computer rooms and operations center. Our
computer room is kept at an optimal temperature of
65 degrees Fahrenheit.
Standby Servers
We keep spare servers on-line 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.
Connected to Multiple Backbones
Network Redundancy
Utilization of intelligent end-user routing
software called Border Gateway Protocol (BGP),
between Qwest, GC and GTE, who use the same
protocol. BGP identifies which path is the most
efficient for each data packet and then routes the
packet to its destination on the fastest path.
This increases the speed at which web pages sent
from our NOC arrive at their
destination.
Raw Performance Equals Low Latency/High
Throughput
Too often providers operate their networks at
three to four times responsible capacity. As a
result, their corresponding transfer times reach
over 300ms. Host-Manager Hosting Services' network daily
average is 27% of its capacity, with midday peak
spikes reaching only 33% capacity. Host-Manager Hosting
Services guarantees you will be carried off our
network in less than 80ms over a five minute
average at any time of day or night.
