Network capacity
Your dedicated server is housed within a 19"
rack. We connect your server directly to a switch, and from
there onto the Internet backbone. This provides the best
possible connection to the rest of the world and means you
can be certain of a contention-free service without bottlenecks
or throttling.
Fire prevention
The security and fire prevention systems
ensure that even if the worst should happen and a fire break
out within the data floor,inert gas will stifle any flames,
and any damage will be minimised and contained.
Physical security
It is a well-established security fact that
any attempt to protect your system with secure software,
access lists and firewalls, may be thwarted simply by gaining
physical access to the server machine. By using a tag-based,
visual ID checking system, in conjunction with vocal passwords
and combination locks, as well as constant CC cameras, security
is at its utmost for preventing this basic but effective
line of attack.
Environmental control
Air conditioning and environmental control
ensure that the data floor maintains a constant low and
dry temperature and humidity. This ensures optimum cooling
and creates an atmosphere optimised for electronic hardware
with minimum risk of burnout or overheating.
Power delivery
The power systems are vital to any machine
room, in order to reduce any chance of service interruption.
In the event of a mains power-failure, UPS systems kick
into place automatically and seamlessly. This allows enough
time for the independent diesel generators to fire up, to
provide a non-stop and spike-free electrical current indefinitely.
Network hardware and monitoring
Our network infrastructure is provisioned
using only the highest quality, tested, branded hardware.
3Com switches combine with our own in-house Linux routers
and firewalls to provide the fastest, most secure and most
reliable systems available. Monitoring of individual servers
throughout the day and night, staffed by real people, ensures
that service uptimes are maintained and that all unusual
or deliberate network attacks or service denial attempts
are detected and dealt with quickly.
Backup and support
To complement the infrastructure and your
dedicated server, Positive Internet also provides backup
services, systems administration services and technical
support, second to none in the industry. Backups can be
made to local server disks and over the network for complete
data integrity, with redundant servers ready to be commissioned
if a primary server experiences catastrophic failure.
