You probably don’t geek out about server technology the way we do, but we’d like to let you know a bit about our hosting environment so you can feel a bit more secure at night knowing your site(s) are being hosting in a good place with good equipment.

We’ve recently migrated much of our business to a colocation facility at Atlanta NAP.  The caged facility in Atlanta, Georgia will house over 1,000 servers.  There are motion detecting IP cameras throughout for maximum security as well as a ten foot razor fence.  HSRP drops throughout provide redundant internet connections should one fail and a redundant paralleled power system ensures the facility will not suffer outages.  Like other servers already used by WebHostingBuzz, the servers at the AtlantaNAP location will have 8 CPU Intel Xeon processors and 8 GB of RAM for  increased performance, and are cooled by Atlanta NAP’s N+1 cooling towers and redundant N+1 pumps.  To  further improve performance, this facility also sits directly on one of Atlanta’s main fiber backbones and is part of a metro ethernet ring based on Extreme Networks 10 gig technology.

Here are the specs of the servers:
Supermicro dual xeon 5410, with a total of 8 CPUS at 2.33ghz
8gb ECC RAM
RAID5 1 terabyte hard drives

If you aren’t a hardware geek, no worries, these are very capable servers and we look forward to the performance boost we can offer our customers.
