| D & D Enterprises has been working with for
over three years as a partner with RapidSite providing web hosting services. RapidSite's Network Operations Center
RapidSite's high bandwidth Network Operations Center is
currently located in the former IBM headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida U.S.A. (Yes, this
building is where the personal computer was invented!). Our new 70,000 sq. ft. facility
will give us additional room to expand our rapidly growing operations and provide a truly
world class home for our world class operations.
RapidSite's Network Operations Center is built with the
following infrastructure:
Fast Internet Connections
RapidSite servers are connected to the Internet by multiple fiber optic T3 lines to
three redundant and diverse Internet backbones (UUnet, MCI, and Sprint). Additional
redundancy and diversity is gained from dual building entry points and multi-homed central
office provisioning. We use high performance Cisco 7505 Routers and Cisco Catalyst 5000 switches to route data
through our network. Our systems continuously monitor backbone performance and
automatically send IP traffic down the shortest path using the Cisco BGP4 protocol.
High Performance Servers
Rapidsite uses dozens of high performance, multi-processor Silicon Graphics Origin200TM Servers running the
IRIX operating system and Apache Web Server software for the
ultimate in speed and reliability.
RapidSite Servers serve over 20,000,000 hits a day!
Reliable Back-up Systems
We take extra steps to ensure the reliability of our service. Our systems are
protected with UPS battery back-up and a diesel backup power generator to keep us up and
running in the event of a power failure. A 40 TB (terabyte) robotic archival system by Storage
Technologies provides daily back-ups of customer
data. |
