Datacenter, Server & Backup Information
Question
What sort of backup procedures are in place for my site?
Answer
Our servers are managed by a full time staff of engineers at Modwest, a dedicated hosting company in Missoula Montana. All sites are backed up every night onto a tape library. The backups are stored in the same physical location as the servers, but the datacenter is a carrier class facility engineered and constructed to the highest standards and equipped with HVAC environmental control systems, state of the art smoke detection and gas fire suppression systems, conditioned AC and DC power systems backup up by diesel generators and 24 x 7 secured entry.
Our internet connection is on a fast, secure network multi-homed to internet backbone via BGP-routed DS3 and OC3 circuits from Sprint, ATT, Global Crossing, and Big Pipe Communications. Bandwidth capacity is kept well above peak usage rate and BGP4 routing provides stable, efficient, and intelligent data delivery via the fastest route.
