At WebXLR8 we use only the best and highest quality data center equipment and bandwidth available today. Our business is based on reliability. We use well Cisco switches, IBM, Dell and Super Micro servers as well as bandwidth from Level 3, UUnet, Qwest and Epik to name a few. The extra expense is worth the added reliability, our customers deserve nothing less.


WebXLR8 Hosting Data Center

Network Redundancy
WebXLR8 uses intelligent end-user routing software called Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) between our OC-3's. BGP identifies which path is the most efficient for each data packet and then routes the packet to its destination on the fastest path. This increases the speed at which web pages sent from our NOC arrive at their destination.

Studies have shown that the most common reason for downtime is circuit failure on Tier 1 provider backbones, the major data highways. To guard against this potential problem, we have two Tier-1 providers. If one experiences problems, we can route traffic down another one. Furthermore, because we are connected with Level 3, UUnet, Qwest and Epik, we share their digital distribution architecture, which includes private peering network connections to major Internet carriers such as MCI, Sprint, Verio, EUNET, AT&T and AOL and others. These private peering arrangements allow WebXLR8 to quickly and efficiently exchange packets of data with every major backbone carrier in a one-to-one environment.

Network Reliability
Industry analysis reveals that 70% of downtime of over 10 hours with any ISP is caused by telephone circuit failure. With WebXLR8, circuit failure is virtually eliminated as we are connected to the web via a 100% fiber connection.

WebXLR8's providers also have peering connections with other major Tier 1 providers that allow traffic to be switched to alternate backbones should the need arise.

WebXLR8 recognizes that downtime is not an option for your servers. That's why we invest heavily in hardware and facilities that ensure that your clients are up and running on the web 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

WebXLR8's Network Operations Center (NOC) features raised flooring. This enables a constant flow of conditioned air and helps to maintain uniform room temperature at all times. In addition, raised flooring reduces static and ensures a professional, computer-grade environment for your servers.

Finally, the NOC is located in a secure, monitored, class A building with a minimum number of approved personnel allowed access to highly sensitive areas and equipment. A detailed record of employee and visitor entry is maintained at all times.

Uninterruptible Power System
To guard against local power failures, WebXLR8 has two industrial-grade, three-phase Liebert UPS systems. These act as back-up batteries, maintaining uninterrupted power in case of surges or power outages. With these back-up systems in place, we can keep our network up and running indefinitely without relying on external power.

Industrial-Grade Air Conditioners
WebXLR8's NOC has two Liebert 10 ton industrial air conditioners that condition our computer rooms and operations center. Air temperature is maintained at an optimal 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
