Web Hosting Data Center |
|
|
Today's competitive e-business marketplace requires
that your business uses the most efficient and reliable hosting
services. As client of EicraSoft on the Internet today, you will reap
all the benefits of our state-of-the-art data center. |
The Building |
|
The physical environment necessary to keep the servers up and
running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week is provided by Hostcentric's Internet Data
Centers. EicraSoft uses a data center located on the West Coast of the USA. The
building is a class A, state of the art facility datacenter which is earthquake
proof.
|
Redundant High Bandwidth
Connectivity |
|
The WestCoast Data Center is owned by WebHostcenctric,
located at Fremont, CA. The network capacity exceeds 2.5 Gigs of Internet
connectivity via DS3, OC3, OC12, and Gigabit Ethernet connections to a wide
variety of peer points and several transit providers. The circuits are
terminated in our data center on carrier class, Cisco Systems 12000 routers. |
Conditioned power |
|
Power quality in
the datacenter is ensured by
multiple independent Liebert UPS
systems. Should the utility power
fail, the mission critical
electrical loads at the datacenter
are provided by the Liebert UPS
systems, which are configured with
automatic static bypass and manually
operated full-maintenance bypass
circuits. Each UPS module has its
own DC battery bank with sufficient
capacity to sustain its critical bus
for periods exceeding 20 minutes
without additional power supply from
utility or generator sources. |
|
Standby generator: The electrical utility service
(PG&E) is backed up via a stand-by diesel power generator activated by
an Onan automatic transfer switch. The generator is a 750 KW Cummins-Onan,
with sufficient on-site fuel to run continuously for over 24 hours. |
Network Security |
|
The EicraSoft network is a fully switched network.
Traffic destined for a website hosted on a server is sent only through
switching equipment necessary to deliver the information to that server.
This minimizes the risk of someone sniffing or capturing traffic being
sent across the network. |
|
Our data center, was built from the ground up and is
equipped with various high capacity connections to multiple carriers to
ensure uptime and speed consistency and redundancy. |
Regulated Climate Control |
|
The data center's HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air
Conditioning) system is N+1 redundant. With full particle filtering and
humidity control, the environment is maintained at a cool 68° F to
ensure a comfortable environment for our servers. |
The Network |
|
As a Tier 1 ISP, WebHostcenctric has established
extensive public and private peering relationships. Peer points
currently include the Pacific Bell NAP and Palo Alto Internet Exchange.
BGP4 is used for optimal route selection and automatic fail over. |
|
Network bandwidth is carefully monitored to ensure
that customer utilization does not exceed online capacity during peak
Internet traffic times. |
|
Our datacenter "Cisco Powered Network" relies on
redundant Cisco 12000 series routers and 6500 series switches at its
core, and can be made fully redundant all the way down to the customer
server. |
|
Dual core routers at the top layer connect to a
layer-three, switched backbone. This switching fabric connects to a
layer two distribution switch infrastructure that in turn connects to a
bandwidth managing "Officer". The bandwidth manager controls traffic
from multiple layer two switches mounted on the customer's rack that are
connected to individual servers. For additional redundancy, customers
may be dual homed by purchasing an additional Ethernet port and diverse
cabling that terminates on a second switch. |
|
WebHostcenctric Officers provide traffic graphing and
sophisticated bandwidth management. To monitor their packet traffic
customers are provided with one bandwidth graph per Internet uplink
connection. |
Uptime |
|
Hostcentric network operation centers are staffed 24
hours per day, 7 days each week by skilled technicians. Industry-leading
service level agreements highlight company guarantees like 100% network
uptime. |
Server hardware |
|
The servers we are using are Dual P4/Xeon at least
2.6 GHz with 1.5 or 2 GB memory, SCSI hard drives in RAID and backups.
Each server is using a gigabit network card. |
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. |
