The Essentials of Quality Hosting
When you're shopping for a hosting company, there are essentials that must not be compromised. In today's highly competitive e-business marketplace, your site or business requires maximized exposure. Experience the incentives of SwiftLane's advanced technology data center.Our Network
Network bandwidth is carefully monitored to guarantee customer's use does not exceed online capacity during peak Internet traffic periods. Our datacenter. "Cisco Powered Network" depends on redundant Cisco 12000 series routers and 6500 series switches. SwiftLane's dual core routers are layered at the top. It connects a layer-three, switched backbone. The switching fabric connects to a layer two distribution switch infrastructure. As result, it connects to a bandwidth managing "Officer". The bandwidth manager controls traffic from multiple layer two switches mounted on the customer's rack that are connected to individual servers.Uptime
Our network operation centers are staffed 365 days a year, 24 hours a day by skilled technicians to ensure 100% network availability and uptime.Server hardware
Swiftlane utilizes the following server hardware:- Dual P4/Xeon at least 2.6 GHz with 1.5 or 2 GB memory
- SCSI hard drives in RAID and backups
- All servers possess and individual gigabit network card
Server Housing
At SwiftLane, the housing of your site is critical. In order to ensure that your site is running 24 hours a day, seven days a week, our servers employ a data center located on the West Coast of the United States. We house our servers in a class A, state of the art facility datacenter. It is earthquake protected against an unforeseen disasters.The regulated climate control of our data center, HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) system is N+1 redundant. The climate's stability is maintained at a cool 68° F to ensure a comfortable environment for our servers with a full particle filtering and humidity control.
Redundant High Bandwidth Connectivity
The Swiftlane network capacity exceeds 2.5 Gigs of Internet connectivity. Our network is ensured via DS3, OC3, OC12, and Gigabit Ethernet connections to a wide variety of peer points and several transit providers. Circuits are lapsed in our data center on carrier class, Cisco Systems 12000 routers.Conditioned power
Power quality in the datacenter is protected by multiple independent Liebert UPS systems. If ever the utility power should fail, the mission critical electrical loads at the datacenter are configured with automatic static bypass and manually operated full-maintenance bypass circuits (provided by the Liebert UPS systems). Each UPS module maintains its own DC battery bank. The capacity is sufficed to sustain its critical bus for periods exceeding 20 minutes without additional power supply from utility or generator sources.The electrical utility service (PG&E) is backed up via a stand-by diesel power generator. It is activated by an Onan automatic transfer switch. The standby generator is a 750 KW Cummins-Onan. It is run on-site sufficiently for more than 24 hours.
Network Security
Swiftllane's security technology utilizes a fully switched network. Any traffic or activity of our hosted sites are transmitted on a server via switching equipment. It minimizes the risk of hacking, attacks or capturing traffic being sent across the network. Our data center, was built with high capacity connections to multiple carriers. It warrants consistency, uptime and speed.Standby Servers - We keep spare servers on-line of all CPU configurations. If a server were to experience a hardware failure, we would turn a key, grab the handle on the drive, pull it out, and insert it into an identical standby CPU. We would then reboot the second machine and the server would be up and running again in a matter of minutes.
