Our
datacenter provides Tier 1
bandwidth providers, SBC and
Allegiance, built on a Cisco
powered network.
Cisco
Powered Network
Every Enterprise Digital account
will be connected to a 100% Cisco
Powered Network. Using
enterprise-class Cisco networking
gear, all routers, layer-2
switches, and layer-3 switches are
tested in labs prior to deployment
to ensure stability and
interoperability.
Redundant
High Bandwidth Connectivity
Using multiple Tier 1 Service
Providers ensures the highest
degree of security
against network downtime and the
fastest possible data transfers.
Bandwidth
Utilization
It is a common misconception that
the amounts of bandwidth (size of
the pipes that carry the data)
differentiate web hosting
companies. In reality it is not
only the size of the pipes that
matters, it is the utilization
levels. The utilization of our
Internet connections is vital to
a
network's ability to transfer data
without packet loss or latency.
Enterprise Digital aims to keep
all connection usage below 50% to
avoid any connectivity problems.
Dynamic
Routing
Enterprise Digital's new
datacenter runs the Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP4) for best case
routing. The BGP4 protocol is a
standard that allows for the
routing of packets of information
sent out from our network. Each
packet of information is evaluated
and sent over the best route
possible. Because of our redundant
network architecture, packets may
be sent via alternative routes
even if they are being delivered
to the same end user. Should one
of our providers fail, packets
leaving our network are
automatically redirected through
another route via a different
provider.
Network
Security
The Enterprise Digital network is
a fully switched network. Traffic
destined
for a website hosted on a server
is sent only through switching
equipment necessary to deliver the
information to that server. This
minimizes the risk of someone
sniffing or capturing traffic
being sent across the network.
Our
data center, located in San
Antonio, Texas, has been built
from the ground up and equipped
with various powerful connections
to multiple carriers to ensure
uptime and speed consistency and
redundancy.
Carrier
Class
Our facility is a carrier-neutral
site and is built completely on
computer-grade raised flooring; it
is built for dedicated server
hosting with
redundant fibre entry points.
Regulated
Climate Control
The data center's HVAC (Heating
Ventilation Air Conditioning)
system is N+1 redundant. With full
particle filtering and humidity
control, the environment is
maintained at a cool 68 degrees to
ensure a comfortable environment
for our servers.
Power
Systems
Enterprise Digital's new
datacenter is not reliant upon the
local power grid to guarantee
maximum uptime. Our on-site,
auto-switched power generator and
centralized UPS systems provide
power conditioning and ensure
uninterrupted data center
operation. Additionally, the
generator is regularly tested to
ensure that it will continue to
function in the event of an
emergency.
Datacenter
Security
The datacenter is physically
isolated from everyone but level
three technicians. Public access
is strictly forbidden. Access to
the floor the datacenter resides
on is restricted and completely
locked down.
Location
San Antonio, Texas is known for
the absence of natural disasters
and is on the most seismically
stable soil in the US.
Additionally, since San Antonio is
free from natural disasters, the
datacenter is in the perfect
location. |
