Hosting and Server Details

Loud Canvas has servers located in San Antonio, TX on the Peer 1 network. PEER 1's rock solid, fully redundant Cisco^® network infrastructure delivers high performance bandwidth through 15 state-of-the-art data centers and 17 points-of-presence (POPs) across North America. This, along with our 100% Uptime SLA (Service Level Agreement) lets you enjoy peace-of-mind all of the time. Server Specs:

Network

The PEER1 Network is fully redundant, uses redundant fiber entry points and connects only with Tier I upstream providers such as AT&T, Savvis, Sprint and MCI. We guarantee 100% uptime and will provide you credit for any network downtime experienced as per our SLA.

Redundant High Bandwidth Connectivity

Multiple OC-48 uplinks on diverse routes connect us to the world-class PEER1 network with fully redundant power and network systems. ServerBeach leads the discount dedicated hosting industry with our 100% uptime guarantee, ensuring the highest degree of security against network downtime and the fastest possible data transfers.Bandwidth Utilization It is a common misconception that the amounts of bandwidth (size of the pipes that carry the data) differentiate web hosting companies. In reality it is not only the size of the pipes that matters, it is the utilization levels. The utilization of our Internet connections is vital to a network's ability to transfer data without packet loss or latency. ServerBeach aims to keep all connection usage below 50% to avoid any connectivity problems.

Dynamic Routing

ServerBeach runs the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP4) for best case routing. The BGP4 protocol is a standard that allows for the routing of packets of information sent out from our network. Each packet of information is evaluated and sent over the best route possible. Because of our redundant network architecture, packets may be sent via alternative routes even if they are being delivered to the same end user. Should one of our providers fail, packets leaving our network are automatically redirected through another route via a different provider.

Network Security

The PEER 1 network is a fully switched network. Traffic destined for a website hosted on a server is sent only through switching equipment necessary to deliver the information to that server. This minimizes the risk of someone sniffing or capturing traffic being sent across the network. Furthermore, ServerBeach vigorously prosecutes persons who generate malicious attacks on our internal network.

Data Center Features

Regulated Climate Control

The data centers' HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) systems are N+1 redundant. With full particle filtering and humidity control, the storage temperatures are maintained at a cool 72 degrees to ensure an ideal performance environment for your server.

Power Systems

ServerBeach is not reliant upon the local power grid to guarantee maximum uptime. Our on-site, auto-switched power generators and centralized UPS systems provide power conditioning and ensure uninterrupted data center operation. Additionally, every major component of the emergency power system is regularly serviced and tested to ensure that they will continue to function in the event of an emergency.Datacenter Security Our data centers are physically isolated from everyone but level three technicians. Public access is strictly forbidden. Proximity access cards restrict entry into every datacenter and the facility is completely locked down at all times. Facilities are also under video surveillance and monitored 24x7x365 by our NOC in Vancouver.
