As the economy begins to bounce back from the doldrums of recession, online companies are beginning to look for space to house their enterprises, with eyes on reliability, power stability, services experience and versatility in hosting services. The Atlanta Data Center in Atlanta, Georgia presents itself as the best candidate, being the host of many companies in their Marietta and Williams Streets data hotels. The companies belong to the three categories of virtual companies by size, the largest being of the first tier. They are Verizon, AT&T, SunGuard and Savvis. The middle tier includes Peak 10 and Atlanta NAP, and the third tier consists of smaller companies that cater to lower-priced enterprises.
Because not only do these enterprises need stable power, dependable back-up mechanisms, easy connectivity and some others due to the capacity of their capital and nature of business. Atlanta Hosting can offer all these and other things besides.
As example, the design of Atlanta Center incorporates the capability of hosting networks with wide ranges of bandwidths. Actually, because it is a unit of the Tulix Systems, Inc., it is mandated to render the quality service and support demanded by Tier 1 providers. Furthermore, it was made to be custom-versatile, able to adapt itself to its customer’s specific requirements in this fast-evolving virtual business world.
The qualities of Atlanta Colo that convinced these companies to locate there are naturally applicable to other similar, even much smaller, enterprises as well.
One of its advantages offered to potential customers is its proximity to fiber optic nerve centers and lines, which offer faster-than-standard connectivity speeds. ATLDC connects to the main POP TELX’s Marietta 55, which can access over a hundred national and regional providers. The fiber network of Atlanta center uses the state-of-the-art SONET and FDDI technology in its network circuits. The SONET protocols move multiple bit streams digitally in optical fibers via lasers or light-emitting diodes (LED) . High-end Cisco routers and switches connect the Center to the Internet, and remain continuously active, reverting to redistribution of traffic loads via HRSP protocols in case of failure, for minimum downtime for sites.
Another advantage is that the Center is also GigE connected to North America and Europe. The Telia-Sonera is the European provider of backbone direct link, Level III Communications is the one for North America, and likewise for Europe, Cogent Communications.
Continuous operations and availability at top performance are the foremost design considerations in building the Center, so there are back-up servers to take over production servers in historically very rare cases of failure. Backing up is done daily or, —optionally, weekly– basis to ensure data availability and uptime at 90% for shared servers, and 99.5% availability for dedicated servers. The Center employs SNMP management servers redundantly, the secondary system operating remotely to detect issues the internal SNMP monitor may have missed.
In such and many other vital ways does The Center maintain its reputation as leading data center service provider since 1994. In the data service field, leadership means top performance all the time.
