All our hosting network operations are located in Orlando, USA, with 25 high end Va Linux servers that are known for their speed and 99.9% up time. Each hosting account resides in one of these servers and provides ultimate performance and reliability.
AdvanzHosting's web hosting data centre is designed and built for ultimate performance and reliability.
Studies have shown that the main reason for downtime is circuit failure on Tier 1 provider backbones, the major data highways. To guard against this potential problem, we have two Tier-1 providers to act as backup in case one fails. Furthermore, because we are OnNet with Level(3) and Qwest, we share their digital distribution architecture, which includes private peering network connections to major Internet carriers such as MCI, Sprint, UUNET, EUNET, AT&T, AOL, Best, Erols, @Home, IBM Advantis and others. These private peering arrangements allow AdvanzHosting to quickly and efficiently exchange packets of data with every major backbone carrier in a one-to-one environment.
Analysis reveals that 70% of downtime of over 10 hours with any ISP is caused by telephone circuit failure. With AdvanzHosting, circuit failure is virtually eliminated as we are with Level (3) and Qwest. AdvanzHosting web hosting's providers also have peering connections with other major Tier 1 providers that allow traffic to be switched to alternate backbones should the need arise. AdvanzHosting has invested heavily in hardware and facilities to guarantee reliable 24*7 services for you.
We use two industrial-grade, three-phase Liebert UPS systems to minimize power failures. These act as back-up batteries, maintaining uninterrupted power in case of surges or power outages. With these back-up systems in place, we can keep our network up and running indefinitely without relying on external power.
All of AdvanzHosting's custom web servers are equipped with a positive-pressure filtered-air system. Four large fans pull filtered air into each server's protective case, and the components within are cooled by fans that circulate this purified air. This constant introduction of clean air into the case creates a positive pressure environment ensuring that dust and particles remain outside the server.
Each server employs dual-redundant hot swap power supplies. If a power supply were to fail, the server would continue running with power from the alternate supply. Meanwhile, alarms would alert a technician, who would quickly restore redundancy. In the meantime, servers and client sites would experience no downtime.
We keep spare servers online of all CPU configurations. If a server were to experience a hardware failure, we would turn a key, grab the handle on the drive, pull it out and insert it into an identical standby CPU. We would then reboot the second machine, and the server would be up and running again in a matter of minutes.
