Server Farm

The Free-Web-Hosting.biz server farm is setting a new standard for the meaning of a "fast, secure and reliable web server". Our server farm is clustered and each server is powered by 2 * Intel Xeon 5160 (Dual Core) processors with 8 GB RAM. We use Seagate® Cheetah® 15K.4 enterprise hard drives. The Seagate Cheeta hard drives deliver high performance and reliability for enterprise environments. All our servers are optimized for top performance and security. Only the best is good enough for our clients.

 

Cisco Routers & Switches
6500, 3750, 2900 Series routers and switches with gigabit speeds available from the individual server to the Internet.

 

Redundant GigE Backbone
Multi-router gigabit connections to the Internap, SAVVIS, VERIO/NTT, and Abovenet core backbone exchanges located in the INFOMART in Dallas, Texas

 

Network Highlights

• Based on industry-leading Juniper core routers and Cisco equipment specifically designed for the needs of Tier 1 "carrier-class" customers


• OC-48/OC-192 backbone trunks, supporting MPLS protocol


• AS3561 is consistently rated over time as having the lowest latency, lowest packet loss, and highest reliability


• SAVVIS firmly segregates Layer-2 (transmission) and Layer-3 (routing)


• Layer-2 is ATM-based for traffic management


• Core network is designed for “zero” packet loss


• SAVVIS is moving to more efficient MPLS Layer 2 protocol


Peering

The SAVVIS Global AS3561 IP backbone has peering connections with 13 Tier 1 US and five Tier 1 European backbone providers. SAVVIS has built new OC-3 [STM-1] and OC-12 [STM-4] for a total of 26GBps connections to its largest direct connect peers, thus providing faster and more reliable access to their networks. With these enhancements, SAVVIS is able to allocate sufficient bandwidth to each peer, aiding in effective capacity planning.

 

In Europe, SAVVIS maintains pan-European private peering connections at LINX, PARIX and AMSIX operating at STM1 or higher speed with GTS/Ebone, Infonet/AUCS, UUNET AS703, Teleglobe and KPNQwest/EUNET. Additional European peering connections are under consideration.

 

These connections will provide our US customers with direct access close to 100 percent of the global address space and our European customers with direct access to 90 percent of the European address space. The benefits to SAVVIS customers include: faster access, minimum AS hops, lowest possible packet loss.
