About Our Systems

We only choose technology from the best suppliers including:

Hewlett Packard

Hewlett Packard hardware is used for our web, email and domain name servers. We also use Hewlett Packard for our office computers.

Cisco

Cisco routers provide the connectivility between our network and the Internet and are used to connect our customers networks into our backbone.

DPT

DPT's high-performance RAID controllers help provide reliable, protected storage solutions for our servers.

The frame relay backbone uses Bay (now Nortel Networks) switches and our nationwide dialup facility is run on Bay hardware.

3Com

3Com / US Robotics equipment is used for many of the modems we use as well as connecting some of our Small Business / Network Connection customers.

FreeBSD

We use the FreeBSD UNIX operating system on many of our servers. This excellent system is also used by other high-volume sites like Yahoo, Inktomi, FAST Search, ftp.cdrom.com, mp3.com and even MSN Hotmail!

Apache

For UNIX web hosting we use the Apache web server - this is an extremely fast and reliable web server in use by more than 60% of the web sites on the Internet.

NetObects Web Builder

NetObjects Fusion is an excellent web design and development tool. It is used to design and maintain this site.

Our systems are designed to be very resilient - all domain records are stored across 3 DNS servers and mail is handled across 3 mail exchanges for added performance and resilience. In addition servers are spread across seperate links / sites for superior resilience.

Our main servers are SMP (symmetric-multi-processor) for added performance and have RAID disk arrays with both hot (and cold) spare drives to protect against drive failure. This makes them very reliable - in fact some of our servers have been "up" for over 600 days (last taken down nearly 2 years ago to repace the battery backup units). Where possible we only take servers "down" for planned maintenance or upgrades!

APC Smart UPS battery backup systems are used to protect against power fluctuations or outages on all servers and network equipment and we have installed an advanced, monitoring intruder detection system supported by ADT / BT RedCare.
