Ultimate Data Security
Your server is the cornerstone of your company's data center. Securing it properly is paramount. However, even the most sophisticated office security systems have many loopholes that make your company’s proprietary data vulnerable. Our 100% automated security clearances provide the assurances you demand without the inconveniences and potential risks.

Ultra-Fast Network!
Through combining bundles of fiber optics with the redundant network engineering, we're able create alternate routes through which data can travel. This effectively maximizes the throughput speed and capacity of each strand of fiber-optic cable. The result is an ultra-fast, ultra-reliable network connection on which you and your customer can rely.

 Network Redundancy
EverythingButComputers web hosting uses intelligent end-user routing software called Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) between there 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 EverythingButComputers web hosting 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 EverythingButComputers web hosting, circuit failure is virtually eliminated as we are with Level(3) and Qwest.EverythingButComputers web hosting's providers also have peering connections with other major Tier 1 providers that allow traffic to be switched to alternate backbones should the need arise.
EverythingButComputers web hosting 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, seven days a week.
EverythingButComputers web hosting's 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

Are you prepared for a blackout?
Our reserve energy comes from a high-power battery backup system and a diesel generator. The battery backup system kicks in the moment that power is lost. Simultaneously, the diesel generator is activated to take over. Capable of powering the Data Center for an extended period, the generator concurrently replenishes the batteries to take over again if the generator expires

Custom Web Servers
EverythingButComputers web hosting's web servers are custom-built industrial machines designed for a 24/7 web serving environment. All EverythingButComputers web hosting servers are equipped with dual-redundant, 400-watt power supplies, hot swap Seagate Baracuda/Cheetah drives and force-filtered cooling systems. In addition, our NOC is equipped with an inventory of identically configured, burned-in standby servers.
Force Filtered Cooling
All of EverythingButComputers web hosting's custom web servers are equipped with a positive-pressure filtered-air system. Four large fans pull filtered air into each server's protective case, and the components within are cooled by fans that circulate this purified air. This constant introduction of clean air into the case creates a positive pressure environment ensuring that dust and particles remain outside the server.
Redundant Hot Swap Power Supplies
Each server employs dual-redundant hot swap power supplies. If a power supply were to fail, the server would continue running with power from the alternate supply. Meanwhile, alarms would alert a technician, who would quickly restore redundancy. In the meantime, servers and client sites would experience no downtime.
Standby Servers
We keep spare servers online 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.
