NTT India Server
Features
Incredible Connection
Some web providers operate an additional dial-up Internet service with 1000's of users
that slow down their connection to the Internet. Remember, we are not Internet Access
providers -- hence our scalable bandwidth lines are entirely
dedicated to serving!
GUI Domain Manager
Allows control to our customers to easily add cgi-bin access, anonymous FTP accounts, mailing
lists, e-mail accounts and more!
Industrial Grade Equipment
Top-Notch Servers
Your site will be hosted on one of our continuously monitored, high performance Unix
servers. Each server comes with Linux OS and Award-Winning Apache installed.
Hot Swap Fujitsu
Drives
The drives and drive bays of our servers are all constructed from high-grade aluminum, and
rest in a Shock Mounted Drive Cage, which adds to the durability of the hardware. The
drives are hot swappable, which means that if any part of the server were to fail we could
simply insert our drive into an identical standby machine. This entire process takes
under 5 minutes. In addition, we backup our servers nightly. If a drive has a
problem, all we have to do is copy your backup (never more than 24 hours old) onto a
standby machine which is already on-line. Your site is up and running within a matter of
minutes.
Redundant Hot Swap
Power Supplies
Each server has dual redundant hot swap power supplies. If one of these power
supplies were to fail, the server would not go down because each power supply is capable
of running the server by itself, indefinitely. Meanwhile, alarms would alert our
technicians to the problem; they would restore redundancy by swapping out the failed unit
with one of our spares and then service the old unit. During all this, your site would
never be down.
Force-Filtered Cooling
All the drives, motherboards, and power supplies of our computers are in cases with a
positive pressure filtered air environment. Two large fans pull air into the protective
case through filters, and the components within are cooled by fans which circulate this
purified air. The constant introduction of clean air into the case creates a positive
pressure environment, ensuring that dust and particulates are swept out and never in.
Standby Servers
We keep spares on-line of all CPU
configurations. If our server were to experience a hardware failure we would literally
turn a key, grab the handle on our drive, pull it out, and insert it into an identical
standby CPU. We'd reboot the second machine and your site would be up and running again in
a matter of minutes.
Redundant Uninterruptable
Power System
To guard against local power failures, we have invested in two separate industrial
strength Leibert UPS systems. These act as back-up batteries, maintaining uninterrupted
power in case of surges or power outages. In addition to these high quality power systems,
the Network Operations Centre (NOC) is also equipped with a natural gas generator. With these three backup
systems in place, we can keep our network up and running indefinitely without relying on
the building's power. This is just another example of the commitment we have to keeping
your site up 24/7 no matter what situation arises.
Secure, Temperature-Controlled
Environment
NTT India has gone to great lengths to ensure
that your server is in a secure, stable environment. The temperature in our NOC is
regulated and monitored 24/7 and held at a constant 65 degrees F. Our facilities are in a
restricted access center, which is not open to the public. The server room is governed by
a punch pad security lock that only grants access to those who have been given a code.
