 As of January, 2007, Capitola Works partners with one of the industry’s fastest, most robust networks (100 gigabits/sec) to provide web hosting services for its clients. We partner with The Planet Data Center because they use state-of-the-art data centers which are devoted exclusively to our customers.
- The data centers where the web hosting servers are located are in state-of-the-art facilities.
- Power systems at The Planet’s data centers are designed to run uninterrupted - even in the unlikely event of a total power outage. For example, a state-of-the-art N+1 power generator architecture is used. In the event of any generator failure, back up power systems provide ample capacity to keep servers running.
- In an extended power outage, on-site diesel generators at the data centers can run indefinitely. Power generators receive regular preventative maintenance to ensure the will continue to function in any emergency.
- Every server is fed with uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that assures service in the event of a power failure. The UPS power is N+1 redundant with instant failover coverage should the primary UPS fail.
- The data center HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) systems are N+1 redundant to ensure that in the unlikely event of an entire HVAC system failure, there is a duplicate system ready to assume the load.
- The data centers feature advanced fire suppression systems to keep any fires localized and prevent them from spreading..
- Preventative maintenance at the data centers is performed regularly by highly trained personnel to meet or exceed manufacturers recommended practices. These include quarterly generator maintenance, quarterly UPS maintenance and battery testing, and monthly HVAC maintenance.
- The Planet is a member of The Uptime Network, a prestigious knowledge consortium where global standards and best practices are created and delivered to maintain system uptime.
