Our Network

Real-WebHosting.Net recognizes that downtime is not an option for your web site. That's why we invest heavily in facilities that ensure that your clients are up and running on the web 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Security

In addition to protecting your data with 24/7 server monitoring, intrusion detection, and continuous upgrades, our Network Operations Center (NOC) is located in a secure building requiring pass-keys to access the offices and biometrics points to secure the servers.

Industrial-Grade NOC

Real-WebHosting.Net's primary Network Operations Center (NOC) features:

a 6,000 sq. ft. clean computer-grade environment for your data.
All servers are built by Dell.
Server racks are mounted to raised flooring in an environmentally controlled room.
Backups are done daily and stored off site.
2 Tier I back bone providers.
Connections to 3 power grids.
1 Generator, and a series of UPS systems.
Data-safe fire suppression systems.
NOC access is controlled to further secure and protect the equipment.

Finally, the NOC is located in a secure, monitored, class A building with a minimum number of approved personnel allowed access to highly sensitive areas and equipment. All visitor and employee entries are logged.

Redundant Internet Backbone Connections

The Real-WebHosting.Net NOC features Cogent Gig-E, Sonnet Ring and Qwest OC12 connections.

Whatever your bandwidth needs may be, Real-WebHosting.Net has the scalability to meet them.

Network Redundancy

Real-WebHosting.Net uses intelligent end-user routing software called Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) between our network backbone providers which 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. Studies have shown that the most common reason for downtime is circuit failure on Tier 1 provider backbones, the major data highways. To guard against this potential problem, we have redundant Tier-1 providers. If one experiences problems, we can route traffic through another one.

Redundant Power Supplies

We are very confident that the loss of power will not take our NOC off line. Power feeds and sources as robust and redundant as ours are unheard of in the industry. The power feed begins with connections to 3 different power grids. In the unlikely event such as a terrorist attack that takes out three power grids, there is a 300kVW Genrac diesel generator that can supply the \ NOC as long as needed with a 600 gallon on site fuel tank. Internally, protection from short term outages and surges is provided by three industrial-grade, three-phase Liebert UPS systems. These act as very expensive back-up batteries.

Data Backup and Recovery

Servers are backed up in rotation daily and restoration of files is available upon request. Our servers are fully backed up regularly (usually 2 to 3 times per month) and incrimentally backed up each day. Backups are stored on and off site (in a bank vault) to protect your data.

Force Filtered Cooling

Real-WebHosting's NOC has three Liebert 10 ton industrial air conditioners that condition our computer rooms and operations center. Air temperature is maintained at an optimal 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

All of Real-WebHosting.Net's custom 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 that circulate this purified air. This constant introduction of clean air into the case creates a positive pressure environment ensuring that dust and particles remain outside the server.

Industry Standard Web Servers

Real-WebHosting.Net's web servers are Dell Xeon dual processor servers. Each of our servers are retired within three years of use (usually two) for reliability. All include hot swappable hard drives, power supplies, and force-filtered cooling. In addition, our NOC is equipped with an inventory of identically configured, burned-in standby servers.

Hot Swap Hard Drives

The drives and drive bays of all Real-WebHosting.Net servers are constructed from high-grade aluminum and rest in shock-mounted drive cages, which add to the durability of the hardware. Real-WebHosting.net's drives 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.

Standby Servers
We keep spare servers online 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.

We hope that all this is worthy of your business.
