DATACENTRE
Each of our VPS, Dedicated and
Colocation offerings are based
out of Sydney's impressive
Global Switch datacenter.
Boasting security and
technological advancement
virtually unparalleled in the
Southern Hempishere, utilization
of this datacenter provides our
clients with the reliability and
efficiency they deserve and
expect from a premium-quality
hosting firm. Just a few
specific benefits of this
datacenter include:
• Minimum N+1 Redundancy on
Power Supplies
• On-site diesel tanks (360kL)
with full-capacity generator
fall-back in case of extended
power failure.
• State-of-the-art cooling
system helps ensure hardware
stability. (Temperature in
technical space consistently
maintained within two degrees of
22oC.
• Sophisticated fire detection
and suppression ensures hardware
integrity in the case of
catastrophic hardware failure.
• Our infrastructure in this
facility is linked via
ultra-high speed, fibre
connection, to Servers @ AAPT
Glebe, promoting network
consistency and redundancy
across our product line.
• Premium bandwidth based on
multiple peering arrangements,
ensuring consistent, speedy
access to the wider internet.
Network
Providing a high-quality hosting
service of course requires more
than just high-end servers and
an exceptional datacenter --
network quality also plays a
major role in the "total hosting
experience." Following is a
summary of some of they key
features of our Network
Infrastructure, again
demonstrating exceptional
quality and reliability:
• Premium bandwidth is
provided by AAPT, Pipe and
Agile, empowering network
redundancy, ensuring extremely
low domestic latency, and
providing optimal international
connectivity.
• Each server is connected
to the network at 100 Mbps,
ensuring bandwidth bursts are
available whenever required. All
network wiring is of the highest
standard, with proprietary
wiring protocols and procedures
developed by a professional
engineer.
• We use only the highest
quality network equipment;
routing is accomplished using
industry-leading Cisco 7206 VXR
routers, and Cisco switches,
with completely redundant Cisco
router and switch "spares"
available for immediate
installation in the extremely
unlikely event of a catastrophic
network hardware failure. Each
router provides up to 2 Mpps
(millions-of-packets-per-second)
routing performance and include
integrated multiservice
interchange (MIX) functionality.
• Network security is
provided by a combination of
active system administration and
proprietary tools.
Market-leading Cisco PIX
Security Appliances/Firewalls,
available on a per-server basis
to dedicated server and
colocation clients, deliver
extensive user and application
policy enforcement, multivector
attack protection, and secure
connectivity services.
