Data center eGlobel Ventures servers are colocated at different Data Centers across the USA and Canada. Our server s are located in different geographical locations, this helps us achieve worldwide network coverage. Each Data Center is of a World Class Tier-1 standard and carefully selected to achieve maximum performance to internet users across the globe. Each Data Center has the following minimum specifications: Cisco 7000 Series Routers IDS (Intrusion Detection System), Firewalls and 24/7 Monitoring Cisco, Nortel, HP and other top manufacturer Switches Border Gateway Protocol (BGP4) Dual automatic redundant HVAC Climate Control UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) - 1 hour + Backup Generators Dual Power Grids VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus ) and Fire Supression Systems. Keycard or Fingerprint and PIN Access 24x7 Security on site 24x7 dedicated technicians on site Connectivity Our connections to the Internet backbone are supplied by Applied Theory, AT&T, Broadwing, Connect, ELI, Fastnet, Genuity, Global Frontier, iPrimus, Optus C&W, Powertel, Telstra, UUNET Worldcom, Vivanet and many others through peering and bridges. Our connections to each backbone is via DS3s (45Mbps), OC3s (155Mbps) OC12s (622MBps) and OC48 (2.5Gbps) in total over 4Gbps!!!. Bandwidth utilization is kept to a low level to ensure plenty of redundancy. The OC48 lines can be upgraded to multiple OC192 (10Gbps) in 30 minutes. Routing Each network utilizes Border Gate Protocol (BGP4). BGP4 protocol is the standard that allows for routing of packets of information sent out from the networks, thus creating a truly redundant network by routing traffic over the most efficient route possible. Due to the redundant entirely switched Cisco powered network, data is automatically redirected through another route in the event of a router failure. Should one of our backbone providers fail, packets are automatically redirected through to another one. Bandwidth Each DC has installed top-of-the-line Cisco Systems 7000 series backbone grade routers on the core layer and Layer 3 switching on the distribution layer providing superior segmentation and increased bandwidth across the backbone. Each server is connected to its own switched 100Mbps port reducing congestion. This configuration provides maximum uptime in the event one of our providers faces an outage. Bandwidth utilization is continuously monitored, allowing us to accommodate even the largest bandwidth surges. It is a misconception that the amount of bandwidth (size of the pipes that carry the data) differentiate web hosting companies. But in reality it is not the size of the pipe that matters, it is the utilization levels that do matter. We have multiple redundant connections which allow us to guarantee customers a maximum of 60 per cent capacity utilization at peak times and an average of 40 per cent utilization across all networks. Monitoring Our Network Operations Center is monitoring the network and servers at all times. Services being monitored include POP3, httpd, Ssh, Ftp, and Bind(Dns). All services are monitored 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Data Center Tour Individually locking cabinets all feature standard 19-inch rails, fully louvered doors, louvered tops, a high powered fan, and a bottom ventilation duct. This allows your servers to run in an optimal environment. A digital camera system was custom designed to monitor every entrance into and out of the Colocation Facility, every hallway and every cabinet. This 550CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) fan exhausts the warm air out of your cabinet, and also pulls in the cooler conditioned air to keep all equipment at an optimal operating temperature. Backup batteries power the UPSs so that in the unlikely event of a power outage your servers will keep on running. Every cabinet is individually keyed to limit access to your equipment. Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) not only provide clean conditioned power, but also power your equipment during the time between an unlikely power outage and when the emergency generator becomes active. These oversized air vents allow for the forced cooler conditioned air to enter into your cabinet. This helps in keeping equipment running at its best. In the unlikely event of a power failure, our generator will power up within the first few seconds, reinforcing the power from the UPS. With refueling contracts, the generator can operate indefinitely. Every cabinet is outfitted with a vertical power strip with 12 outlets. The vertical power strip was preferred so that rack space would not be compromised. In addition, most of our racks are now fitted with APC MasterSwitch power reboot ports so that customers can reboot their internet appliances remotely.
