Our Datacenter and Security Infrastructure
Our
data center is constructed to offer high
availability for the hosted solutions offered
by Omnistar Interactive. Omnistar has partnered
Rackspace which is the leader in managed
hosting. We are confident that the data
center physical plant and network infrastructure
and security will allow our customers and
partners to know their data is secure and
protected.
Bandwidth
Best practices for high availability bandwidth
are in place such as the use of physically
distant entry points for several tier-one
network carriers, including WilTel, SBC,
Sprint, AT&T, Qwest, Time Warner Telecom
and MCI. Multiple edge routers and an internally
redundant network co-designed with Cisco
provide assurance that data will be routed
to and from the Internet with low latency
and high availability. Rackspace data centers
offer a 100% network uptime guarantee (SLA).
All important aspects of network availability
and performance are monitored by staff on
a 24x7 basis.
Cooling
We know that a powerful HVAC system is essential
for rooms packed with rows of heat-producing
servers. The HVAC system is equipped with
redundancy in the event that primary coolers
experience issues. To prevent accumulation
of dust and keep everything cool, the air
in the data center is run through filters
and cycled every 90 seconds.
Staff
Each member of our staff is certified and
experienced in maintaining and monitoring
critical systems and hardware. Rackspace
employs more RedHat Certified Engineers
than any other hosting provider, and employs
than 60 staff members with Microsoft Certified
Professional certificates. Our employees’
combined experience is extremely valuable
in swiftly fixing common and not-so-common
data center issues.
Fire Suppression
State of the art fire suppression technology
is also deployed to immediately halt the
progression of any detected fire and to
ensure key services to continue without
any interruption.
Security
Constant surveillance, biometric identification,
keycards, and a strict policy of limiting
access only to employees who have undergone
thorough background checks, making sure that
only individuals with authorization have physical
access to servers and networked equipment.
