HOSTING 101 SERVER CAPABILITIES

About 101 Hosting

Power
Our dedicated electricity supply was designed and installed to meet our diverse 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 Uninterruptible Power Supplies protect our 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 2 industrial generators, 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 web site will still be available.

Lightning Protection
To guard against the threat of lightning (which could send spikes through the electricity supply and damage servers) we 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
We use Cisco 7206VXR routers and Enterprise Alpine 3808 switches. Should one of these network components fail, our network will carry on with no degradation in speed or reliability

Fire Protection
Should a fire break out in the data centre then our 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 sophisticated air conditioning systems set at 20 degrees C and 50% relative humidity to ensure the system operates as efficiently as possible.

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 our network operations centre staff.

High Security
Our 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.
