In order to continue
providing the highest level of performance, reliability and
scalability, we decided that only a distributed model utilizing
multiple load balanced web servers would meet our customer's
needs today and into the future.
Located on a dedicated segment within a world-class data center,
our SynergyHP high performance hosting platform combines the
best in hardware and software to provide a complete advanced
hosting solution for both Unix and Windows.
Enhanced Network Security
In addition to our data center firewall, the SynergyHP firewall
provides enhanced security features to prevent unauthorized
access to all our servers.
Multiple Servers for Increased Performance
and Reliability.
Unlike standard systems where multiple tasks are run on a
single server, SynergyHP uses separate and independent servers
for each task:
| · |
Multiple redundant load balanced web servers. Load
balancing efficiently distributes requests among multiple
servers so that no single server is ever over worked. If one
web server fails, the remaining servers automatically pick
up the slack. |
| · |
We limit the amount of web sites to 500 for every
set of load balanced web servers (250 per server). We also
have services available that limit the amount of web sites
for a set of web servers from five to forty web sites. The
ratio of web sites per server with our services is one of
the lowest in the hosting industry. |
| · |
Dedicated database servers for mySQL and Microsoft
SQL Server 2000. Our database servers run queries on the databases
only thus ensuring maximum reliability, security and performance. |
| · |
NAS (Network Attached Storage) file servers. Your
data is stored on a separate NAS device independent of the
web servers. This results in better performance and more secure
data. Your data is automatically backed up daily (incremental)
and weekly (full backup). |
| · |
DNS servers - Primary and Secondary domain name servers
are separate and independent units that are located at two
different data centers. |
| · |
Mail Servers - SynergyHP email runs on a dedicated
mail server featuring RAID5 capability and dual hot swappable
power supplies for increased reliability and performance. |
A Complete Email Solution
Combine dedicated mail server hardware with full featured
and scalable mail server software and you get a highly reliable
and scalable email solution. This allows us to offer unlimited
email accounts and addresses with all plans without sacrificing
performance and reliability. All plans include support for
SMTP, POP3, IMAP4 and WebMail plus anti-spam and anti-virus
protection.
Integrated control panel solution
Managing your web site and email accounts does not require
advanced technical skills. Our online control panel is simple
enough for a novice and powerful enough for experienced users.
| · |
Single Login & Interface for both Unix and Windows. |
| · |
Account Management module included |
| · |
Support module includes Online Ticket System |
Proactive Server Management
SynergyHP monitors connectivity and server services 24 hours
a day, seven days a week. Server load, disk space and memory
levels are also continuously monitored. Our support staff
are ready to deal with any issues. In the rare cases where
services are adversely affected, customers will be advised
as soon as possible - either directly or through the server
status page in the control panel - as to the issues and what
actions are being taken.
Data Security
Unlike at some other data centers which aggregate client routing
through hubs, our internal network is on a dedicated ethernet
segment. This protects the confidentiality of traffic within
the data center itself.
Multiple Internet Gateways - Peer1 Group Telecom ATT WorldCom
Our dedicated segment is connected to two custom routers on
a core Cisco network. These routers provide the gateways to
the machines on our internal network, and employ BGP to advertise
the IP space assigned. The system ensures traffic is routed
via the most appropriate link. Routing over multiple links
can be tailored to effectively facilitate traffic modeling
based on the business factors of each bandwidth provider.
BGP4 Routing
The network runs the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP4) for best
case routing. Our entirely switched, Cisco powered network
employs HSRP (N+1 hot fail over) to ensure that data can be
routed even in the event of a router fail over. The BGP4 protocol
is a standard that allows for the evaluation of each packet
of information sent out from the network. Because of our redundant
network architecture, packets may be sent via alternative
routes even if they are being delivered to the same end user!
This also allows for packets to be redirected via another
route if network congestion on the public Internet becomes
overwhelming.
The routers are connected to each switch
with gigabit links (once the GBICs arrive), and are connected
together with a gigabit link. Peers are currently connected
with copper and fibre 100Mbit Ethernet interfaces an OC-3
ATM interface. There are also six (6) staff switches, which
are also connected to the core switches on the 100 Megabit
ports.
Scalabilty
Network utilization is constantly being monitored. If it starts
to approach 40% of capacity during heaviest peak times, more
bandwidth is acquired from our network backbone providers.
