National WebSpace's Operations Center resides in Houston, Texas. Our
network has state of the art features as such as fiber optic networking, OC3
connections, bandwidth on demand ability, redundant UPS systems, generator
backup, VESPA detection systems, closed circuit monitoring of all areas and
entrances, card key access, 24 hour guard manned security, redundant a/c
systems, and fiber from 5 separate providers. (see below).
Our Servers
Your web
hosting account will be placed on a server with the following minimum
specifications: QUAD (4 Processor) XEON @ 2.4GHz, 1GB Ram,
70GB 10RPM Ultra 320 SCSI Hard Drive.These 9.6GHz
servers are what is required to deliver the speed
necessary to run your web site at unparalleled performance without lag.
DON'T SETTLE FOR LESS! In our opinion, this is the ONLY server to use.
Extended Network
National WebSpace
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
The National WebSpace
Network Operations Center has two Liebert 10-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
Time Warner GB Link to Internet 1000Mbps Max.
Verio Gigabit Ethernet to Internet 1000Mbps Max.
Savvis OC3 Link to Internet 155Mbps Max.
ELI DS3 Link to Internet 45Mbps Max.
Cogent GB Link to Internet 1000Mbps Max.
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.
National WebSpace network daily average is 27% of its capacity, with midday
peak spikes reaching only 33% capacity. National WebSpace guarantees you
will be carried off our network in less than 80ms over a five minute average at
any time of day or night.
