6Star.net - Reliability

Rock Solid Network
99.9% Uptime Guaranteed

We've taken great strides to provide reliable access to you. Our bandwidth saturation average (a measure of how crowded our systems are) is less than 30%. We have redundant DS-3 (capable of 45Mbps each) and OC-3 (capable of 155Mbps each) lines with diverse routes to the Internet Backbone, ensuring our servers always have an active connection to the Internet. BGP Peering allows us to automatically re-route traffic away from "Internet Traffic Jams". This means when one part of the Internet slows down your site will not be caught in the bottleneck. All of our servers are fast Dual Pentium III based technology with 512+ MB of RAM. We keep our servers at less than 50% capacity so even when traffic peaks, our servers won't be overloaded.

Lightning-fast network connectivity

We have chosen five of the best backbone providers to relay all traffic. This means that all of our clients have a 99.9% uptime guarantee. The network is designed around redundancy and efficiency. BGP4, DS3 and OC3 connections to diverse backbones and a fully 100 Mbps Cisco Switched network make our network top-notch.

Our NOC (Network Operations Center)

We strongly believe that the environment where the servers are located is as important to our client’s websites as the services our clients are receiving. The Data Center is geographically located near an Internet Exchange Point to minimize traffic hops and optimize performance. Our Data Center features a Power Management System which includes 2.5 megawatts premise power, a customer dedicated power backed up by an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), a 235,000 watt diesel generator, customer dedicated circuit breaker protection and scalable customer power. We also have fire zones above the ceiling and below the floor, specialized heat/smoke sensors and automatic fire department notification.

Our Mainframe Style Construction includes HVAC, separate cooling zones, and seismically braced racks. Our server hosting facility also uses scalable areas; cabinets, full open racks, shared open racks, and are secured by motion sensors, key-card access, video camera surveillance, a security breach alarm, and 24/7 police monitoring. Our Network Operations Center is a high security facility, and no customer is permitted to enter this area. Certified technicians are monitoring the equipment 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
