Our Data Centres

Located within various Net Access Data Centers, they utilize all the services and protection offered within the facilities - FM-200 Fire Suppression, Multiple UPS Systems, Backup Diesel Generators and 24-7-365 Network Operations staff ensure the safety and reliability of your services and equipment.

Servers

We utilize Compaq ProLiant servers, which consistently lead the industry in performance and reliability. At present, all servers are configured with Genuine Intel processors with 4GB -> 8GB of Memory. We overbuild these machines to ensure that they perform exceptionally - even during periods of intense server requests - and all are replaced after 20,000 hours of use.

Connectivity

We offer fast, reliable connectivity to the internet via multiple OC-12, OC-3 & DS3 connections to over 75 diverse providers. Mostly, our servers are situated in Texas (Houston), New Jersey and Michigan in the USA with some also in Glasgow, SCOTLAND.

Our US based Servers are linked to the Internet via fiber-optic connections, that span more than seven diverse backbones and well-known providers including Verio, UUnet, Savvis, Cogent, Sonet and Time Warner making sure your data can be reached, viewed, updated, and accessed with incredible connectivity and network strength.

Monitoring & Security

All data centers are monitored 24/7 by highly qualified network administrators. The HTTP port is monitored while Ping tests are conducted every 5 minutes to verify that the servers are active.

Our Data Centres incorporate the latest technologies in IDS (Intrusion Detection System) to monitor and protect our networks against malicious attacks.

In addition, our shared hosting servers are protected behind internal firewalls and monitoring software.

Data center security is taken very seriously. All major entry points to the buildings and computer areas require an electronic ID card and security code. The buildings are monitored by cameras and supervised 24 hours per day.
