Delivering Managed Hosting Services
Having outstanding people is a necessary requirement for delivering the highest level of managed hosting services. In addition, the performance, reliability and availability of the network must also be unsurpassed. To meet your expectations, our network is housed in a world class data center, operated by Quality Technology Services, Inc., one of the leading data center providers in the world. Quality Technology Services (QTS) provides eApps with the data center infrastructure and high volume, redundant Internet connections required to support commerical grade web sites and applications.eApps Data Center
Our primary facility is the Atlanta
data center
of QTS. This
376,000 square foot facility is one of the top data centers in the
USA. It is located in a geographic formation that minimizes
the possibility of wind and tornado damage. Temperature is regulated
within a very low tolerance. The data center has redundant UPS
power
systems for essential power backup, with sufficient generators to
ensure unlimited critical backup power.
The data center is served
by multiple high speed optical connections from various backbone
providers. Our primary feed is through Internap,
one of the most highly rated backbone providers. Internap's
ability to intelligently route traffic for maximum throughput is
unsurpassed. Internap also has superior abilities to detect
and
quickly respond to threats and traffic issues. Our investment
in
this upstream provider is well justified.
eApps Network
Within the data center, we have total control of our hosting environment. We have designed our own switched network which is maintained by us. This structure provides the best of both worlds - QTS manages the capital intensive infrastructure and we manage the network and servers that our customer's sites and applications run on. This approach provides you the following benefits:
- Availability -- The data center
is
over-engineered
to provide redundancy at every possible point of failure. This includes
multiple high speed feeds to the Internet backbone, re-generated power
to ensure power purity, batteries and generators in case of power
failures, storm proof facilities, and more.
- Performance -- At the data center
level, high
speed, high capacity network equipment is used to ensure throughput and
best routing over the Internet. Likewise, the eApps network contained
inside the data center uses top of the line network equipment for
maximum performance.
- Responsiveness -- Since we manage our own network, we are able to respond with speed and effectiveness whenever an issue arises in the hosting environment. As mentioned previously, QTS is a leader in managing the data center. This specialization of effort results in our customers receiving the prompt care and attention through personal service from eApps with the security and reliability of a world class data center managed by QTS.
