eBidTeam: Reliability



 
 
eBidTeam is hosted on a 100% Cisco GIGABIT network located at the MaximumASP Data Center in Louisville, KY. Every part of the network, from the web server all the way to the backbone providers, support gigabit throughput. This may seem like overkill, but this means you get the excellent response for your eBidTeam activities.

Of course, all of the space and bandwidth in the world is useless if your web server can't keep up. That's why eBidTeam is hosted on the latest Intel P3-1GHz dual-processor servers from Dell, with gigabit network cards, at least 1GB of memory, and a 10,000RPM SCSI RAID 5 disk array that flys.
 
 
why we co-locate
 
We co-locate our servers in an IBM-certified and soon to be Microsoft Certified data center owned and operated by MaximumASP. Wind Sage Technologies is not about operating large data centers. We leave things like BGP4 routing, power back up, cooling, security, and connectivity procurement to MaximumASP.

We obtain systems support, software upgrades and backups for our eBidTeam web site. Immediate attention is available 24 x 7 for any network or systems problem.

Meanwhile, that leaves WindSage Technologies free to concentrate on eBidTeam operations and development - to bring you new features more rapidly and to concentrate on supporting you and your projects.
 
 
connectivity
 
eBidTeam utilizes a scalable, redundant "bandwidth-on-demand" solution. Depending on network traffic and nationwide bottleneck status, our web server traffic is routed down one or more of four DS3 circuits - capable of up to 180Mbps total throughput.

These circuits are provided by MCI/UUnet, Sprint, and AT&T. eBidTeam is literally hosted on a zero-hop Internet backbone. Our bandwidth allocation is on-demand, allowing us to always have the necessary bandwidth available for your projects.

All server traffic is channelled into two Cisco 12000 series routers, using BGP4 routing protocol for complete redundancy. If one router should have an equipment failure, the other one picks up the traffic. This lowers the possibility of network downtime due to an equipment failure, and means that your projects will be available when you need them.
