IBS introduces multi-backbone
connectivity and carrier class facility!
IBS has housed their servers in a custom
built, telco grade data center which occupies nearly 10,000 square feet
of a 70,000 square foot corporate office campus in the Blue Lake Corporate
Center in Boca Raton, Florida.
The data center was designed from the ground
up for maximum reliability. They built a small fortress within a fortress
by building a concrete reinforced data center within the concrete reinforced
corporate building.
The high security facilities are accessible
by authorized personnel only. Access to the building requires electronic
ID badges. Access to the data center where IBS' sites reside is limited
to top security personnel via electronic palm scanners.
Access to the network is equally as protected.
An advanced firewall system keeps out those who don't belong, and network
engineers monitor all systems 24 hours a day. Access to the network
systems by any personnel is extremely limited and closely monitored
to protect your valuable information!
Customer Web sites are hosted on dual-processor
Silicon Graphics Origin 200 servers for unmatched speed and reliability.
Each server is loaded with 256 to 512 MB of RAM, fast Cheetah hard drives
and networked together with Foundry Networks Gigabit Ethernet Switches.
These high-performance systems can handle over 30,000,000 hits per day.
The data center is connected to the Internet
through three redundant T3 connections through separate connectivity
providers (MCI, Sprint, and UUNet). Data is routed through these
connections via Cisco 7505 series routers using the BGP4 protocol to
automatically route traffic down the fastest route.
We take every step possible to ensure the
reliability of our services. We are so confident about our systems that
we guarantee our reliability with a 99.9% uptime guarantee.
