Built
for Ultimate Performance and Reliability
At eNonProfits we colocate our
servers, the following description is
from our data center information package.
We do not own this data center but we
do lease square footage space there. We
are not attempting to imply that we own
or have ownership in this data center,
this page is simply for informational
purposes for our customers.
Network
Redundancy
eNonProfits uses intelligent end-user
routing software called Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP) between our 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.
Studies have
shown that the most common reason for
downtime is circuit failure on Tier 1
provider backbones, the major data highways.
To guard against this potential problem,
we have two Tier-1 providers. If one experiences
problems, we can route traffic down another
one. Furthermore, because we are OnNet
with Level(3) and Qwest, we share their
digital distribution architecture, which
includes private peering network connections
to major Internet carriers such as MCI,
Sprint, UUNET, EUNET, AT&T, AOL, Best,
Erols, @Home, IBM Advantis and others.
These private peering arrangements allow
eNonProfits to quickly and efficiently
exchange packets of data with every major
backbone carrier in a one-to-one environment.
Network
Reliability
Industry analysis reveals that 70% of
downtime of over 10 hours with any ISP
is caused by telephone circuit failure.
With eNonProfits, circuit failure
is virtually eliminated as we are with
Level(3) and Qwest.
eNonProfits' providers
also have peering connections with other
major Tier 1 providers that allow traffic
to be switched to alternate backbones
should the need arise.
eNonProfits recognizes
that downtime is not an option for your
servers. That's why we invest heavily
in hardware and facilities that ensure
that your clients are up and running on
the web 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
eNonProfits'
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.
Uninterruptible Power
System
To guard against
local power failures, eNonProfits
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
eNonProfits' 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.
