How we choose our Network / DataCenter.
I have been designing web sites since 1997. Over the years I have built
hundreds of
web sites. Some where hosted on my personal severs, some on remote hosting
DataCenters and some on my client's servers. A few years ago I decided to move
all
my web sites to one Data Center close to my home. I had a 6 main criteria for my
search:
- All servers need the latest software and hardware.
- All servers must have 24/7/365 certified system engineer support.
- Server software must be able to support the H-Sphere control panel,
which I regard
as one of the best web control panel software programs today.
- Security!
- Multiple Backbones. (ways to access the internet if connections are
lost)
- Maximum Flexibility for leasing services from the Datacenter. (So I have
full control over
my hosting service and can provide the best top quality hosting service!)
After locating just such a DataCenter in Orlando Florida, I proceeded to
migrate my old and new
clients to my new home. In the last 3 years my search has really has paid off! My DataCenter is manned
by top quality certified technicians 24/7 and they have maintained my servers
running with well-over
99% uptime!

.::Internap Connected!
Providing intelligent route control utilizing UUNET, ATT, Sprint, Verio, Cable and Wireless, Global Crossing, GTE/BBN, Qwestk, Digex, and Level3. Experience increased network speeds and a more robust network with less connections and lower pings. The problem & The solution. (links are offsite)
.::Network Redundancy
G2W Hosting uses intelligent end-user routing software called Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) between there OC-3's. BGP identifies which path is the most efficient for each data packet and then routes the packet to its destination on the fastest path. This increases the speed at which web pages sent from our NOC arrive at their destination.
.::Network Reliability
G2W Hosting recognizes that downtime is not an option for your servers.
That's why we have chosen the hardware and facilities that ensure that your
sites are up and running on the web 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
G2W Hosting's Network Operations Center (NOC) features raised flooring. This
enables a constant flow of conditioned air and helps to maintain uniform room
temperature at all times. In addition, raised flooring reduces static and
ensures a professional, computer-grade environment for your servers.
Finally, the NOC is located in a secure, monitored, class A building with a
minimum number of approved personnel allowed access to highly sensitive areas
and equipment. A detailed record of employee and visitor entry is maintained at
all times. Physical Location of the servers and network is:
100 W. Lake Lucerne #203
Orlando FL, 32801
.::Uninterruptible Power System
To guard against local power failures, G2W Hosting has two industrial-grade, three-phase Liebert UPS systems. 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.
.::Industrial-Grade Air Conditioners
G2W Hosting's NOC has two Liebert 10 ton industrial air conditioners that condition our computer rooms and operations center. Air temperature is maintained at an optimal 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
.::Custom Web Servers
G2W Hosting's web servers are custom-built industrial machines designed for a 24/7 web serving environment. All G2W Hosting servers are equipped with dual-redundant, 400-watt power supplies, hot swap Seagate Barracuda /Cheetah drives and force-filtered cooling systems. In addition, our NOC is equipped with an inventory of identically configured, burned-in standby servers.
.::Force Filtered Cooling
All of G2W Hosting'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.
.::Redundant Hot Swap Power Supplies
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.
