Network
The OnApps network has been engineered by our experienced team to provide
the highest availability to meet the demands of our client's websites. The datacenter
and network have been optimized for outsourcing web servers.
Connectivity
OnApps' network is Cisco powered and utilizes connections to multiple
backbones to ensure that data reaches the end-user in the fastest, most
efficient manner possible. OnApps supports the Border Gate Protocol (BGP4) for
best case routing. The BGP4 protocol is a standard that allows for the
routing of packets of information sent out from the OnApps Network.
Bandwidth Utilization
The OnApps Network has plenty of excess capacity, even during peak hours.
This allows for us to accommodate even the largest spikes in traffic that are
often associated with the most popular websites. We are always adding network
connectivity and new routers in an effort to make sure content is delivered to
your users as efficiently as possible. A low bandwidth utilization also allows
for maximum uptime, even if one of our providers has an outage ...just another
reason to outsource your server to OnApps.
Conditioned Power
Power systems in OnApps' data centers are designed to run uninterrupted even
in the unlikely event of a total power outage. All servers are fed with
conditioned UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) power that will run if utility
power fails. The UPS power subsystem is N+1 redundant with instantaneous
failover in case the primary UPS fails. In the event of an extended power
outage, an on-site diesel generator can run indefinitely. The generator is
regularly tested to ensure that it will continue to function in the event of an
emergency.
A Precision Environment
OnApps' data centers are meticulously tidy. All air is circulated and
filtered every two minutes to remove dust and contaminants. The data center's HVAC
(Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) system is N+1 redundant to ensure that
even in the event of an entire HVAC system failure, there is a duplicate system
on standby to take over. An advanced fire-suppression system is in place to
prevent any fire from spreading - in the unlikely event that one would start.
All cables to servers and routing equipment are securely tied down, and cable
racks suspended from the ceiling provide dual routes for all cables. In the
event that all cables on a cable rack are cut or burned, packets of data will
automatically be routed to a second set of cables on the other side of the data
center.
