Netregistry customers the very best in environment, security and
back-up systems.
At

use quality hardware and
software including fibre channel RAID storage devices

Your data is
secure
Their
data centre maintains the highest level of building security
around the clock. The centre's multiple CCTV points, secure
entries and exits and limited access areas are all managed by
building control staff 24x7.
An optimal operating environment
is maintained at all times. The temperature in the technical
space stays at 22°C (±2°C), with a humidity range of 50% (±10%).
Fire detection and suppression
equipment includes smoke and heat detectors in all areas, dry
pipe sprinklers in technical areas, dry risers to all floors and
smoke and gas clearance system.
The power supply is provided
through a minimum N+1 redundancy; the main power is supplied via
two 33kV dedicated incomers, a diverse A&B power supply
distributed at 11kV via a rotary UPS and multiple ring main
circuits. All power and cooling in the data centre are supported
by up to 22 rotary
UPS units.
During power outages, there is an
onsite diesel power generator (360,000 litre capacity) that can
support the centre at full capacity for 24 hours. This is backed
up by a 2 hour/24x7 fuel delivery contract.
High Speed Data
Their
data centre facility features a dedicated 155 MBit STM1 ATM
link, and multiple OC3 internet connections with 6MB available
PVC for failover.
All Netregistry services are run
on IBM NetFinity 4500R rack mounted web servers.
These are specified to be mission
critical machines, scalable to incorporate the use of a RAID
disk array. Cisco and Lucent Network equipment is used, with
full service contracts.
All hosted websites enjoy the
benefit of full load balancing across a clustered web server
farm, all the data being stored in a fibre channel RAID array.
Load balancers ensure web requests to any website are
distributed to the least busy web server machine, maximising
performance 24x7.
Redundancy exists at every level with each
point of failure protected by a fully automated fail-over
replacement. This really is
web hosting
at it's best.
