Our
Servers |
Operates two
state-of-the-art data
centers in Houston,
Texas. Our facilities
offer 100,000 square
feet of web hosting
space, and each features
redundant UPS, generator
backup and smoke
detection/fire
protection systems. Both
locations are under 24/7
camera surveillance and
armed guard patrol.
Connected to the
Internet through 14
Gigabit Ethernet links
from six separate
backbone providers. As
of May 2004, we are home
to over 20,000 Windows
and Linux web servers.
Substantial bandwidth
capacity allows us to
accommodate even the
largest spikes in
traffic. To ensure rapid
delivery of content, we
continuously add network
connectivity and new
routes. Low bandwidth
utilization allows for
maximum uptime, even if
multiple transit
partners experience
simultaneous outages. |

Zero-Downtime
Network |
The Rackspace network has been
engineered from the ground up to
accommodate the
high-availability demands of our
customers' mission-critical Web
applications. Our Cisco-powered,
Zero-Downtime Network™ has
unique self-healing attributes
that allow us to deliver on our
100% infrastructure availability
guarantee.
This centralization of
information and control give us
incredible flexibility when
serving our customers. Not only
does CORE provide the automation
that helps us deploy complex
hosting environments quickly,
but once your hosting
environment is in production,
we’re able to monitor, identify
problems, test potential
solutions and roll back changes,
all from within one application.
This creates efficiency which
translates into faster service
delivery for our customers and
at the same time dramatically
reduces the chance for human
error. |

We realize that a Tier-1
data center is more than
hardware and software.
That's why we employ a
certified networking and
security team with years of
experience in managing and
monitoring enterprise-level
networks. Our certified
Rackspace network
technicians are trained to
the highest standards to
ensure that we are able to
meet our 100% infrastructure
availability guarantee.

Core Routing
Equipment |
|
We use only fully
redundant,
enterprise-class
routing equipment
housed in its own
secure, core routing
room and fed with
its own redundant
power supply. Our
fiber carriers enter
the facilities at
disparate access
points to ensure
that there is no
service failure,
even in the unlikely
event of a fiber
cut. |
