Our
Technology
Our email supplier has developed a world-class network enabling us to offer an outstanding
Service Level Agreement including:
- At least 99%
availability
- Excellent site
performance because we monitor server and network usage and increase
capacity when any node reaches 50% average utilization
We can deliver this
service level because we have built a state of the art network
architecture that is:
Reliable
- Our servers are
configured in fault tolerant clusters so that if any machine fails it
doesn't cause a service outage. Our equipment is collocated at
AboveNet, an extremely reliable server hosting facility with clean,
super cooled cages and a power plant on site.
- We monitor our
network 24/7 so that we know about problems immediately and can get
them fixed before they get noticed.
Scalable
- We use
load-balancing technology that lets us increase capacity quickly by
adding readily available servers to existing clusters.
- Our server hosting
facility has nearly 20 Gbps capacity allowing us to rapidly increase
our bandwidth to 100Mbps or more. That's the equivalent of nearly 3500
simultaneous 28.8 connections.
- 24/7 network and
system monitoring allows us to increase capacity before the site gets
slow.
Manageable
- We have installed
remote console access and power switching so that our engineers can
resolve difficult problems without going to the collocation center.
- All critical
systems are fault tolerant, allowing us to deal with equipment
failures during regular maintenance hours rather than when the failure
occurs.
Secure
- We use packet
filtering so that only customer traffic and secure systems
administrator traffic via ssh is allowed into the network.
- All servers are
given private, unroutable IP addresses and are only available through
specific address translations in the load balancing device.
This network has been
built by a team of internet infrastructure specialists led by Kevin Criqui.
As our Director of Internet Operations, Kevin brings over 10 years of
engineering expe
rience to this service. He has been involved in the design
and operation of large internet sites for companies including InterNex
(now owned by Concentric Networks), SegaSoft, Prio Networks, When.com,
24/7 Media, and ZixIt Corp.
