Hosting Overview
Senior has made a significant investment in the development of a world class hosting solution. The design of our platform incorporates all of the resilience and performance features in the market today, and is built on technologies from leading providers including IBM, Cisco, Check Point and Microsoft. The infrastructure supporting your server is completely robust and thoroughly tested, not only by us, but by some of the world’s biggest companies and hosting providers. Key elements of our hosting solution include:
- Class leading IBM BladeCenter and Blade server technology.
- Corporate grade IBM Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN).
- Full N+1 Resilience - no single points of failure.
- High performance tier-1 Internet connectivity from multiple transit providers.
- No 3rd parties: we have our own IP addresses and AS number from RIPE.
- Multiple Cisco routers with BGP4 redundant routing.
- Clustered firewalls from the world's leading security firm.
- World class physical security, redundant power, cooling and connectivity at our data centre in London’s Docklands area.
Data security and integrity is vital to us here at Senior, and our server infrastructure reflects that. Superfast SAN storage means that your data is stored over multiple redundant disks, ensuring that even a complete disk failure will not compromise your data or cause any downtime.
Data backup plans are available with all of our server packages. Your data can be backed up on a daily basis and archived for up to 12 months. If you have a specific data backup or archiving request, please contact us, and we will can discuss the available options.
The significant investment made by Senior to develop our hosting solution, together with our focus on its ongoing maintenance, has proved worthwhile. We have had zero unplanned downtime on our network since it went live, despite the usual individual hardware failures and faults from our transit providers, our robust design has ensured that your business critical hosting is very safe when entrusted to Senior.
All of Senior’s hosting packages are physically located in our secure London facility, and are fully backed by our robust Service Level Agreement.
