Cenvo Dedicated Server Network
Cenvo Hosting houses its servers in the state of the art 11,000 square foot
BurstNET™ Data Center facility contains everything needed to ensure your
mission-critical Internet operation is functioning at the highest perfomance
levels. A full list of features/services in usage in the Network Operations
Center is found below.
Environment
Precision-controlled raised floor air conditioning systems protect and cool
mission-critical servers and equipment in the Network Operations Center. The
facility is controlled by dual 30-Ton APC™/Airflow™ triple-compresser redundant
systems. These systems provide a virtually dust-free and particle-free
computing environment, with temperature, humidity, and air-quality regulation.
Security
Restricted access to the Network Operations Center is monitored by qualified
personnel 24 hours a day, every day. Visitors and clientele are only allowed
on-site if escorted by Network Operations Center staff. The entire Network
Operations Center is monitored, ensuring prompt response and thorough coverage
to fire or security alarms. We supply all our Network Operations Center
customers with advanced firewall, encryption, intrusion detection and other
security measures. BurstNET™ maintains a full digital video surveillance system
of the Network Operations Center, with full on-site and off-site recording.
Failsafe Power Supply
Our Network Operations Center currently has 800amps 480V (3200amps 110V)
3-Phase power currently available from PP< (Pennsylvania Power &
Electric). The facility is currently backed up and protected by 150KVA Liebert™ and 160KVA Powerware™ 9135 facility-wide UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)
systems, which feed PDI™& Liebert™ PDU (Power Distribution Unit) systems.
In a very rare case of utility outage, our Cummins™ 250KW deisel generator
starts automatically, taking over for the UPS systems and supplying all
necessary power for the facility. The generator interfaces to the power grid
thru an Asco™ 7000 automatic transfer panel. The generator is powered by a 500
gallon fuel tank, capable of running without refueling for approximately 80
hours.
Backup Systems
BurstNET™ automatically provides backup data services to all shared hosting
solutions clientele. Services are also optionally available to all dedicated
and co-location clientele. BurstNET™ utilizes backup hard drives on each
individual server to store backups. Linux systems store zipped copies of server
system files and client data files, for simple server rebuilding. Windows™ NT/2000 servers store full image backups (identical copy of operating system
and data at time of backup), for full system restoration. Off-server and
off-site backup services are available as well.
24x7x365 Monitoring
The Network Operations Center uses industry-standard SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol) and provides round-the-clock monitoring of all hardware,
including routers, switches, UPS systems, and servers. The Network Operations
Center also monitors power, environmental factors (such as temperature and
humidity), generator status, and network connectivity. All critical
services/ports can be monitored, including FTP, HTTP, SMTP, HTTPS, SSH, TELNET,
and POP3. We provide network monitoring of the Local Area Network, Internet
connectivity (all routers, switches, and wiring), and the Internet backbone via
MRTG. Our close and constant communication with our upstream backbone providers
ensures that our customers have constant access to high-performance Internet
connections. Failure on any monitoring service results in audible alarms, LAN
messages, and alerting our staff paging system. BurstNET™ offers remote cold
boot hardware for dedicated server and co-location clients, with private,
password protected, web based access
Hardware
The Network Operations Center utilizes ONLY top name brand hardware. The
network is centered on a Cisco™ GSR12000 Border Routers, and Cisco 7206VXR Core
Routers, connecting via Gigabit Ethernet (1000mbps) to the Hewlett Packard™ Procurve™ 4108GL & Extreme™ Summit™ 4 primary switches. Hewlett Packard™ Procurve™& Extreme™ Summit™ 48 managed switches comprise the power and
stability of the network, operating at 100mbps switched ethernet speeds.
Hardware utilized in the facility is comprised of name brands, including the
following: Intel™, Asus™, Abit™, AMD™, 3Com™, Hewlett Packard™, Adaptec™,
Cisco™, Tekram™, Kingston™, Micron™, Crucial™, IBM™, Maxtor™, Western-Digital™,
Seagate™, Quantum™, Fujitsu™, Realtec™, Belkin™, & Lucent™. APC™,
Tripp-Lite™, Compaq™, & Liebert™ UPS Systems provide the power backups,
along with a Cummins™ generator system. Facility monitoring is provided by a
Panasonic™ WD-500 Digital Video System over Sony™ & Panasonic™ CCTV
cameras.
Software
The Network Operations Center utilizes the Red Hat™ Linux operating system on
the majority of servers present. Red Hat™ Linux is a highly configurable
system, and well known for speed and stability. Red Hat™ Linux servers have
been documented to remain operating for up to one year at a time without even
requiring a reboot. The Apache™ Web Server nicely compliments the Red Hat™ Linux Operating System. The majority of remaining servers operate on the
Microsoft™ Windows™ NT/2000/2003 operating systems, with Internet Information
Server™ Web Server. Microsoft™ Windows™ NT/2000/2003 provides a system that
simplifies database, application, and visual effect programming. BurstNET™ also
supports FreeBSD™, Mandrake™, Slackware™, Turbo Linux™, & Debian Linux™.
Connectivity
The network is connected via Gigabit/OC12 (1000/622 mbps) fiber connections to
Commonwealth Telephone™ (CTSIT), NorthEast PA's 2nd largest Telco, and XO™ Communications (pending). Verizon™ (Formerly Bell Atlantic PA) and PPL Telcom™,
(a sub-division of Pennsylvania Power & Electric™ - PPL™) fiber is also
available in the facility. The network currently connects BurstNET POPs (Points
of Presence) in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, & Philadelphia, with others to be
completed shortly. BurstNET™ transit is provided via Gigabit Ethernet
(1000mbps) from Verio™ (http://www.verio.com), Global Crossing™ (http://www.glbx.com), Cogent™ (http://www.cogentco.com), & XO™ Communications (http://www.xo.com). For redundancy, BurstNET™ is currently
running BGP4 (border gateway routing protocol) to maintain the speed and
uptime. If one backbone line goes down, it will balance the load to the
other(s). If one line gets congested, it will load balance the traffic.
BurstNET™ is currently negotiating with major backbone providers to open POPs
in the BurstNET™ Scranton PA facility. BurstNET™ is currently the only major
data center/co-lo facility within 60-75 miles of the Tier-3
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre PA USA Metro Area.
