The Data Center 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 Verio, Williams, UUNET, Level3, Genuity, Sprint and Verizon.
The Data Center is 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.
The Data Center 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 Center also monitors power,
environmental factors (such as temperature and humidity),
generator status, and network connectivity. All critical
services are monitored. In addition,
our Data center is located in one of the 2 main Telco Hotel
vaults in Atlanta, GA - with access to all the major fiber
and IP backbones and
the highest quality of power and security.
What is BGP4 and how does it work?
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.
What does this mean to you, the customer?
This means that the network data is analyzed and built into
a custom BGP table that is the fastest possible route to you. This is
done every 4 seconds and the BGP tables are updated every four seconds
to keep the network running at a top notch speed! This gives visitors'
to your website the fastest access to the content while ensuring the
connection remains redundant. In simpler words this means that your server
will remain available without any interruptions incase one of our bandwidth
providers does go down. |
