We
have a server from Webfusion, one of europes largest internet
hosting companies. All the information on Realviewings and all
of your tours are backed up daily and are protected by the following
features, ensuring reliability:
Power
A 400 KVA dedicated electricity supply was designed and installed
to meet the electrical needs. Power is routed through our lightning
protection system, Generator changeover panel and redundant UPSs
before getting to the servers. This ensures that all power to the
servers is supplied at a smooth rate.
UPS
Two 200 KVA Uninterruptible Power Supplies protect the network in
case of power failure. Should the power to our network fail, our
high power UPS automatically kicks in to take the load of all the
servers and network hardware
Generator
As our second line of defence against power failure we have installed
a 500 KVA industrial generator, capable of supplying enough electricity
to our entire data centre and office area for an indefinite period
of time. This means that in the event of a major utility power failure
your tours will still be available.
Lightning
Protection
To guard against the threat of lightning (which could send spikes
through the electricity supply and damage servers) Webfusion have
installed a Furse lightning protection system. If an illegal spike
is detected the system automatically takes this spike and destroys
it. This system provides protection between all sets of conductors
(phase to neutral, phase to earth and neutral to earth) ensuring
total protection and closing all transient paths to equipment.
Network
Monitoring
Webfusion use 3 Cisco 7206VXR routers and 2 Enterprise Alpine 3808.
Should one of either of these network components fail, the network
will carry on with no degradation in speed or reliability.
Fire Protection
Should a fire break out in the data centre then the FM200 Fire Suppression
System will be triggered, in seconds FM200 gas will be released
into the room extinguishing the fire. FM200 is a computer friendly
gas that will not harm computers or leave a residue.
Air Conditioning
The data centre is equipped with powerful under-floor air conditioning
systems to maintain a consistently controlled environment.
Water
Detection
In the unlikely event that water leaks into the data centre then
sensors throughout the area will detect the leak and sound the alarm
to Host Europe's network operations centre staff.
Servers
Our data centre is home to thousands of servers including Sun, IBM,
Compaq, Dell and HP servers.
Sun
Cobalt RaQ
Webfusion host more Sun Cobalt RaQs in our data centre then any
other hosting company in Europe.
High Security
The data centre was constructed with security in mind. Access is
restricted by proximity reader access that records all access to
the data centre, and it is monitored by CCTV at all times.
