NETWORK OPERATIONS CENTER FEATURES
Environment
Controlled air conditioning systems protect and cool mission-critical
servers and equipment in the Network Operations Center. This
system provides a safe and heat controlled area for our servers
to ensure system overheating is not an issue.
Security
Restricted access to the Operations Center is monitored by
qualified personnel and 24/7 monitoring coverage by closed curcuit camera systems.
The entire Network Operations Center is monitored, ensuring prompt response and thorough coverage
to fire or security alarms. Physical security is also a priority
at the network operations center. Every authorized member of the personnel is
provided with a unique pin code for entering the building as well as key card access to
the server area.
Failsafe Power Supply
Our Operations Center currently has AC power currently available
from Portland General Electric. Multiple power feeds are provided to
the building from seperate power grids to help reduce the chances of a power
outage. In a very rare case of utility outage, onsite UPS battery backup systems
are used to supply the equipment with power until one of seven backup generators are started.
Each of the backup generators are controlled via automatic switching causing them to start as soon
as the utilities power goes offline. Two of the seven available generators are enough to power
all of the equipment in the network operations center, the other five available generators are
provided as backups with automatic failovers. Each generator is tested on a weekly basis by qualified
staff.
Backup Systems
Weberz automatically provides backup data services to all
shared hosting solutions clientele. Services are also optionally
available to all dedicated clientele. Weberz utilizes separate
backup servers to store backups. The data is transferred to
the backup servers using a private backup network to ensure
system backups do not interfere with normal operations. Off-site
backup services are available as well.
System Monitoring
The Network Operations Center uses industry-standard SNMP
(Simple Network Management Protocol) and provides round-the-clock
monitoring of all hardware, including routers, switches, and
servers. The Operations Center staff also monitors power,
environmental factors (such as temperature), generator status,
and network connectivity. All critical services/ports are
monitored, including FTP, HTTP, SMTP, HTTPS, SSH, and POP3.
We provide network monitoring of the Local Area Network, Internet
connectivity (all routers, switches, and wiring), and the
Internet backbone via MRTG.
