| Network Redundancy |
INSTANTWEBHOSTING uses intelligent end-user routing
software called Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) between
there OC-3's. 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.
Studies have shown that the most common reason for downtime
is circuit failure on Tier 1 provider backbones, the major
data highways. To guard against this potential problem,
we have two Tier-1 providers. If one experiences problems,
we can route traffic down another one. Furthermore, because
we are OnNet with Level(3) and Qwest, we share their digital
distribution architecture, which includes private peering
network connections to major Internet carriers such as
MCI, Sprint, UUNET, EUNET, AT&T, AOL, Best, Erols,
@Home, IBM Advantis and others. These private peering
arrangements allow INSTANTWEBHOSTING to quickly and efficiently
exchange packets of data with every major backbone carrier
in a one-to-one environment. |

| Network Reliability |
Industry analysis reveals that 70% of downtime of over
10 hours with any ISP is caused by telephone circuit failure.
With INSTANTWEBHOSTING, circuit failure is virtually eliminated
as we are with Level(3) and Qwest.
INSTANTWEBHOSTING’sproviders also have peering connections
with other major Tier 1 providers that allow traffic to
be switched to alternate backbones should the need arise.
INSTANTWEBHOSTING recognizes that downtime is not an option
for your servers. That's why we invest heavily in hardware
and facilities that ensure that your clients are up and
running on the web 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
INSTANTWEBHOSTING’sNetwork Operations Center (NOC)
features raised flooring. This enables a constant flow
of conditioned air and helps to maintain uniform room
temperature at all times. In addition, raised flooring
reduces static and ensures a professional, computer-grade
environment for your servers.
Finally, the NOC is located in a secure, monitored, class
A building with a minimum number of approved personnel
allowed access to highly sensitive areas and equipment.
A detailed record of employee and visitor entry is maintained
at all times.

| Uninterruptible Power System |
| To guard against local power failures, INSTANTWEBHOSTING
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 |
| INSTANTWEBHOSTING’sNOC 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 |
| INSTANTWEBHOSTING’sweb servers are custom-built
industrial machines designed for a 24/7 web serving environment.
All INSTANTWEBHOSTING servers are equipped with dual-redundant,
400-watt power supplies, hot swap Seagate Baracuda/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 INSTANTWEBHOSTING’scustom 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. |
