Network

The OnApps network has been engineered by our experienced team to provide the highest availability to meet the demands of our client’s websites. The datacenter and network have been optimized for outsourcing webservers.

Connectivity

OnApps utilizes connections to multiple backbones to ensure that data reaches the end-user in the fastest, most efficient manner possible. BGP4 Routing OnApps supports the Border Gate Protocol (BGP4) for best case routing. Our network is Cisco powered. The BGP4 protocol is a standard that allows for the routing of packets of information sent out from the OnApps Network.

Bandwidth Utilization

The OnApps Network currently has plenty of excess capacity, even during peak hours. This allows for us to accomodate even the largest spikes in traffic that are often associated with the most popular websites. We are always adding network connectivity and new routes in an effort to make sure content is delivered to your users as efficiently as possible. A low bandwidth utilization also allows for maximum uptime, even if one of our providers has an outage ...just another reason to outsource your server to OnApps.

Conditioned Power

Power systems in OnApps data centers are designed to run uninterrupted even in the unlikely event of a total power outage. All servers are fed with conditioned UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) power that will run if utility power fails. The UPS power subsystem is N+1 redundant with instantaneous failover in case the primary UPS fails. In the event of an extended power outage, an on-site diesel generator can run indefinitely. The generator is regularly tested to ensure that it will continue to function in the event of an emergency.

A Precision Environment

OnApps data centers are meticulously tidy. All air is circulated and filtered every two minutes to remove dust and contaminants. The data center's HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) system is N+1 redundant to ensure that even in the event of an entire HVAC system failure, there is a duplicate system on standby to take over. An advanced fire-suppression system is in place to prevent any fire from spreading - in the unlikely event that one could start. All cables to servers and routing equipment are securely tied down, and cable racks suspended from the ceiling provide dual routes for all cables. In the event that all cables on a cable rack are cut or burned, packets of data will automatically be routed to a second set of cables on the other side of the data center.
