Virtual Data Center
Details |
|
We
have pioneered the concept of a Globally
distributed Virtual Datacenter. Our Virtual
Datacenter is a globally distributed collection
of redundant server infrastructure which hosts
all our Products and Services.
Our Virtual Datacenter consists of servers
distributed across various Datacenters
worldwide. Most of these datacenters have
certain common qualifications described below:-
Salient features of our Virtual Datacenter
- Integrates hundreds of distributed servers
seamlessly
- Provides
high-availability, redundancy and unmatched
reliability
Network
The datacenters are connected to the
internet through Gigabit Ethernet connections
from separate backbone providers, who each run
fiber optic cables into the data center through
separate entry points.
Security
To guard against line failure or intrusion,
the data center is staffed 24 hours a day.
Movement throughout the facility is escorted at
ALL times. There is 24x7 closed circuit
monitoring of all areas and entrances. Between
the cameras, access control, and the security
team, the datacenter facilities are pretty
secure.
Power
The total incoming power is a multiple of
what is required to run the datacenter. There is
an ATS (Automatic Transfer switch) in place to
automatically kick in a generator in case of a
power failure. The datacenters are also equipped
with redundant UPS systems to ensure clean
power.
Cooling
Redundant A/C systems, each running at a
fraction of their capacity, keep the server
rooms cool. The units are alternated so that
each one is kept in optimal condition.
Advanced Smoke Detection & Fire Protection
Systems
The datacenters are equipped with
specialized fire detection and protection
systems meant specifically for protecting
servers as using ordinary water based systems
would cause just as much damage as fire.

24 X 7 Server
Monitoring |
|
An effective monitoring system is extremely
crucial for ensuring maximum uptime. Today, any
web services company manages hundreds of servers
with a large number of services running on each
server. Manually checking each service on just
one server 24 x 7 is extremely difficult -
across a number of servers - is humanly
impossible. Companies that do not have a good
monitoring system, or worse, don't have one at
all, have larger downtimes and are increasing
the risk of potential damage caused due to
service disruptions. An undetected minor issue
can change into a major issue rapidly,
increasing the amount of damage caused.
Our monitoring systems and tools provide our
system administrators with an all-encompassing
view into the health of our globally distributed
infrastructure. We monitor a large number of
parameters related to the health of our servers
and individual services that reside on them.
If
any server or service fails, or any resource
utilization exceeds specified limits, then a
notification pops-up immediately on the screen
of all our Infrastructure Monitoring Staff. The
notification system also handles escalation of
issues i.e. if the issue is not resolved within
'x' minutes, SMS alerts are sent out to higher
level system administrators, and subsequently to
Management. All of this allows us to detect and
resolve any issue within minutes of it happening
and ensures maximum uptime for your customers. |

Our Security Goals |
|
Privacy - Information within our
infrastructure and systems will only be
accessible by authorized users
Integrity - Data and information within
our infrastructure cannot be tampered with by
any unauthorized user
Identification and Authentication -
Ensures that any user of the system is who he
claims to be and eliminates chances of
impersonation
Network Service Protection - Ensures that
networking equipment is protected from malicious
hacking attempts or attacks that threaten uptime
