The DataCenter

A stable and professional environment...

Our datacenter's home is a hyper-modern facility with not just a highly stable environment (Air conditioned, Backup-Power, robust cabinets, fully redundant power & network) but also on-site (well skilled) technicians, even with emergency spare parts. Argon Fire extinguishers are automatically used when there's fire.

Host uptime

The uptime of a virtual server can only get as high as the uptime of the host. Our XEN hosts have an average uptime of 213.2 days* Many of our customers have the same uptime as the host they are on.

Sitting in the heart of Europe's networks, Amsterdam, we have great links to the world:

50 Gigabit to AMS-IX
30 Gigabit to OpenPeering
10 Gigabit to Level3-AMS* (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
10 Gigabit to Level3-Phoenix* (Phoenix, USA)
10 Gigabit to NL-IX
10 Gigabit to LINX (London, United Kingdom)
10 Gigabit to Equinix-Ashburn (Washington USA)
10 Gigabit to Equinix-LA (Los Angeles, USA)
10 Gigabit to Atlanta-IX Atlanta, USA)
2.5 Gigabit to DEC-IX (Frankfurt, Germany)
1 Gigabit to BNIX (Brussels, Belgium)
1 Gigabit to Any2 LAX & SJC (Los Angeles, USA)

12 backbones, 154,5 Gigabit in total
* Excellent international traffic connectivity is provided by both a Level-3 transit and another transit by Cogent.

Our own webserver is running on one of our VPS servers, on the same network and hardware as your server will run. The uptime of this is monitored by some external parties. One of them can be found here, see for yourself that our uptime (and yours) is high.

There are no 'caps' on any connection. All connections are made through Gigabit on two seperate Foundry core routers. We have *very* low-latency connections (fast replies) throughout Europe!
Our network supports reverse DNS lookups.

	Green power All servers, routers, airconditioning and other supporting equipment runs on carbon compensated power. More information: See our page at CleanBits.nl... (this only counts for one website, but all infrastructure is included in the compensation programme)
	Reliable power infrastructure Power feeds are UPS backed. The UPS system is backed by generators for longer lasting interruptions Power from the grid always goes through a harmonization filter All servers are connected to a remote reboot port for fast recoveries
	Fire safety Detection: VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection and Activation) Prevention: Fire suppression system (Argonite gas)
