We are proud of our high speed connection. Our most frequent compliments from our customers is how fast their site loads.  When you combine high speed connectivity and high quality equipment, you get a fast and reliable web hosting.  We host sites all over the world, and with our multiple backbone connections, your customers will get through to your site fast.

Our Servers are located in a Network Operations Center (NOC) which 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 our servers.

The facility is equipped with a Raytheon fire suppression system, designed to immediately extinguish fire and protect equipment and personnel. The command center is controlled via automatic doors to further secure and protect the equipment.

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

To guard against local power failures, Inter-Networks.net has two industrial-grade, three-phase Liebert UPS systems. These act as back-up batteries, maintaining uninterrupted power in case of surges or power outages. With these back-up systems in place, we can keep our network up and running indefinitely without relying on external power.

Industrial-Grade Air Conditioners

The NOC has Liebert industrial air conditioners, which condition our computer rooms and operations center. Air temperature is maintained at an optimal 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

Custom Web Servers

Our web servers are Dell machines designed for a 24/7 web serving environment. All servers are equipped with dual redundant 450-watt power supplies, hot swap hard drives and force-filtered cooling systems.  In addition, our NOC is equipped with an inventory of identically configured, burned-in standby servers.  All new servers are configured with a minimum of:

• Dell Power Edge 2850 Servers
• Dual Intel Xeon Processors
• 2.0 Gig of RAM
• SCSI Hard Drives for faster performance
• Mirrored Hard Drives
• Backup facilities
• Red Hat Linux 7.3

We use only up-to-date powerful servers.  Unlike some low-end hosting companies, we do not use any Celeron, AMD and Cyrix chips.  We back up all servers and provide facilities so you may backup your site as well.

Force Filtered Cooling

All of our 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 which circulate this purified air.  This constant introduction of clean air into the case creates a positive pressure environment ensuring dust and particles remain outside of the server.

Standby Servers

We keep spare servers on-line 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. 

Connected to two Backbones (Network Redundancy)

Internet Backbones
Cogent service through a Gig-E, Sonnet Ring connection
Qwest service through an OC12 connection

Furthermore, because of these unique connections, Inter-Networks.net does not need to link to the Internet through an OC3 or T3 Telecom circuit. Instead, independent cables run inside our building directly from the Inter-Networks.net NOC to all three carriers' points of presence. These lines can handle the bandwidth of a T3, OC3 or OC12 with DWDM. Plus, they handle several times the bandwidth of an OC3. Whatever your bandwidth needs may be, Inter-Networks.net has the scalability to meet them.

Routers and Switches

• Foundry NetIron switches
• Redundant Cisco 7500 routers and Cisco 5500 switches

Network Reliability

Industry analysis reveals that 70% of downtime of over 10 hours with any ISP is caused by telephone circuit failure. With Inter-Networks.net, circuit failure is virtually eliminated. That's because our NOC is in the same building as GlobalCenter, Qwest and GTE. There is no phone circuit between Inter-Networks.net and these providers. Instead, there is a direct connection between our Cisco 7500 routers and theirs.

Inter-Networks.net'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.
