Let's take the following tour into RapidSite's Data
Centre to explore what makes RapidSite the
world's number one choice for Web hosting:
|
|
- MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR FACILITIES
RapidSite's US-based facilities occupy over 70,000
square feet in the Blue Lake Corporate Center
in Boca Raton, Florida. They have invested millions
of dollars creating a world-class data centre
that provides their customers with unmatched performance,
reliability, and convenience.
|
 |
|
- BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP
Their data centre was designed from the ground
up for maximum reliability. In fact, they built
a small fortress within a fortress by building
a concrete reinforced data centre within their
concrete reinforced corporate headquarters building.
|
 |
- HIGH SECURITY
Their high security facilities are accessible
by authorised personnel only. Access to the building
requires electronic ID badges. Access to the data
centre is limited to top security personnel via
electronic palm scanners.
|
 |
- ROOM FOR GROWTH
The data centre contains four autonomous server
rooms, each of which can satisfy the hosting needs
of over one million Web sites! No other hosting
provider can match their infrastructure and scalability.
|
 |
- CONDITIONED POWER
All equipment receive conditioned power to protect
from electromagnetic noise, damaging voltage spikes,
and brown-outs. Even during damaging lightning
storms, servers receive a steady, clean source
of power. Backup power generators will automatically
supply emergency power in the event of a total
power outage.
|
 |
- FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS
The state-of-the-art fire protection systems include
water sprinklers throughout the building and advanced
FM200 fire suppression systems in the data center
with a dry pipe back-up sprinkler system. Concrete
walls, floor, and ceiling further protect the
center in the event of a fire.
|
 |
- INDUSTRIAL COOLING SYSTEMS
Servers generate quite a bit of heat which is
why four redundant commercial grade Liebert air
conditioning units are located in each server
room. Cool temperatures allow servers to operate
at peak efficiency with enhanced reliability.
|
 |
- HIGH SPEED CONNECTIVITY
A single T3 connection is more than enough bandwidth
for most hosting providers. RapidSite's data centre
is connected to the Internet through two OC-3's,
three DS-3's and multiple OC-12's. All connectivity
is provided via Verio's tier one backbone.
|
 |
- POWERFUL SERVERS
Customer Web sites are hosted on multi-processor
Silicon Graphics Origin 200 servers for unmatched
speed and reliability. Each server is loaded with
256 to 512 MB of RAM, fast Cheetah hard drives
and networked together with Foundry Networks Gigabit
Ethernet Switches.
|
 |
- BACKUP SYSTEMS
All customer data is backed up daily to the StorageTek
40 terabyte robotic archival storage system. In
the event of a hard drive crash, they can install
a new hard drive from their reserve supply while
the server is still powered and running and restore
the drive content from the tape backup.
