Our Network Infrastrcture:

Host-Island.com delivers the best network performance in the industry. We have invested in the best available infrastructure and utilize bandwidth from all the Tier 1 backbone providers.

Faster, More Intelligent Routing
Most providers utilize BGP, but the standard implemenation of BGP does NOT take performance into account when routing traffic. Host-Island.com utilizes dynamically controlled BGP to provide intelligent, fail-safe routing, assure uptime and deliver superior performance. We continuously monitor end-to-end network performance to Internet destinations and automatically route your users to the fastest available connection to ensure maximum connection speed and virtually eliminate down time.

Scalability
Host-Island.com's Network is powered by OC48 -192 backbones. We buy transit from multiple Tier 1 backbone providers, including AT&T, Level 3, Qwest, UUNET & Verio, and have multi-gigabytes of high quality provisioned data capacity with virtually unlimited scalability. Host-Island.com's network does not utilize bandwidth from any "discount" providers.

Redundancy
Host-Island.com builds in redundancy through multiple redundant network connections and redundant router and switch configuration.

Backup Power
Host-Island.com furnishes dual power availability to each rack unit from independent power distribution units (PDUs), removing PDU loss as a single point of failure. To ensure stable connectivity, we provide a redundant Need+1 (N+1) design of uninterruptible power supplies utilizing two separate commercial power feeds from two separate power grids to provide power to the center. Five redundant standby generators guarantee consistent operation in the event of a power failure from commercial power. These generators are equipped with 72 hours of diesel fuel on site, and two contractors are on call to refuel to the storage tanks.

Disaster Control
Our world-class facilities feature seismically braced racks and are designed to withstand disastrous conditions, ensuring that your systems and equipment continue to run even under extreme conditions. A second point of presence is always available to clients seeking fail-safe redundancy.

Environmental Controls
Host-Island.com has implemented a Need+1 (N+1) design of cooling towers, water pumps and chillers to maintain a controlled environment. Conditions are a uniform 72° with 50% relative humidity. Multiple air handling units provide another level of redundancy to further ensure consistently sound environmental conditions.

Fire Protection
Fire detection and suppression systems ensure 24/7 protection of your critical systems. Dual fire detection (photo electronic/ionization and sniffer) systems and VESDA® fire alarm systems are in place to constantly monitor for any potential areas of concern. A multi-zone pre-action dry pipe suppression system allows any suppression necessary to be contained to the affected area; conditions elsewhere will not be disrupted.
