What is being done to mitigate potential down time?

0

Our equipment is collocated at the AboveNet/DataPipe facility in downtown San Jose in a state-of-the-art facility built in 1999 (when money was no object). It is equipped with its own diesel-powered power generator enabling it to provide 100% uptime guarantee from power loss. The data center generates its own power 100% of the time. Our network is fully redundant with multiple server farms for each level of service. Our architecture allows us to simply add new machines to handle additional demand load. We are currently running at about 20% capacity. We are running redundant Firewalls (Cisco), load balancers (Nortel) and switches configured for failover. We have multiple fiber drops to redundant routers. They themselves have redundant connectivity from multiple carriers providing redundancy from carrier failure. Our connection is fully burstable to 100Mps, providing ample bandwidth to serve the needs of our clients. We use clustered SQL Server databases for permanent storage of our data
