MyWebTeks Host Data Center-Specifications
Our data
center sits on top of dual OC192-BLSR4 SONET Rings. These SONET rings provide
our Data Center with Tier 1 connectivity to numerous network carriers. It
provides our clients with the fastest, most reliable Internet connectivity,
unmatched by any other hosting provider in the industry.
We currently
have 780 Mbits of bandwidth allotted to our CDC and we are currently
utilizing 27% of that bandwidth during peak times and 21% at off-peak times.
Our CDC bandwidth is expandable up to Dual OC-192's. Additional bandwidth
will be allocated as needed. By purchasing bandwidth from multiple backbone
providers, over 98% of the Internet is viewed as a private network from our
CDC. This network architecture provides MyWebTeks Host's customers with
unparalleled network performance and network availability.
CDC Connectivity Maps
General
Specifications:
Rack UPS devices and server power management systems to
ensure uninterrupted service. UPS devices deployed in parallel redundant
configuration with N+3 redundancy to diesel generators.
200 tons of
air-conditioning to 30,000 sq. ft of static free and humidity-controlled (40%
(+/- 5%)) server rooms keep our CDC running at a chilly 58 degrees (+/- 2
degrees) which ensures maximum server reliability. All air-conditioning in
configured with N+3 redundancy.
Gas based fire suppression systems
protect each server in case of a fire.
Emergency backup systems that
include a 245,000 watt diesel powered generator capable of powering our CDC
for more than one 240 hours. We have a contract for emergency refueling that
can take place within 30 minutes notice.
Full daily client-content
backups and hourly system backups ensure no data loss to any CDC housed
server. Each week a complete tape backup is taken to MyWebTeks Host's offsite
fire-proof storage facility to ensure no data loss in the event of natural
disaster.
Our CDC contains a separate, limited-access room for its
co-located servers.
Network Specifications:
Bandwidth - our CDC has 5
DS-3 connections and 2 OC-3's for maximum redundancy - 45Mbits to E.spire;
45Mbits to Sprint; 45Mbits to Global Crossing; 45Mbits to PSINet; 45Mbits
Genuity; 155Mbits to Qwest; and 155Mbits to InterNAP.
In addition to
the DS-3 and OC-3 connectivity, our CDC is lit with 50 T1 connections to
UUNET. Currently 0% utilized at peak times of the day (T1's used in emergency
fiber cuts only).
BGP4 is being used on all border and core routers to
ensure the closest and quickest path between every request is utilized.
Routers
- 2 Cisco 7513's are the core routers of our CDC; 4 Cisco 7206VXR's are the
border routers of the CDC. All are configured with Cisco's hot standby routers
protocol (HSRP) which will re-route traffic around network failures
Switches
- 1 Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Etherswitch with full GigE connectivity; 50
Cisco Catalyst 3500 Series (used as hot replacement units only in case of a
card failure in the Cat 6500); and 300 Cisco Catalyst 2924XL's
Network
Interface Cards - Intel & 3Com 100Mbps Ethernet Adapters
Racks -
19'' and 23''seismically braced
Cabling - Category 5 & Category 6
Our
CDC is a carrier-neutral facility with cross-connects available to all
bandwidth providers on 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps (GigE) connections.
