Data Centers
Our Data Centers are the heart of our
operations. ANS Online provides multiple secure facilities
for maximum uptime, bandwidth and redundancy.
Locations
ANS Data Centers are located in Akron, Ohio and Cleveland,
Ohio. ANS data center facilities
are managed by IT professionals and certified systems engineers.
They manage our redundant connections to the
Internet and make sure traffic is optimized. Our facilities
have multiple levels of network hardware and provider dependencies
and include T1, T3, and fiber sonnet ring technology with
redundant paths. BGP failover is used to provide automated
failover between separate providers. Redundant AC systems,
750KW Diesel generator and Natural gas generators along
with UPS systems provide fault-tolerant power backup.
Security systems with keycard and camera recording monitors
people traffic. |

Hardware
As an HP and Compaq partner, we use the
latest tools and technologies available. Using HP server
blade technology, we can offer the industry's highest level
of blade servers and technologies optimized to address
our customers' needs. Server blades can be installed in
seconds and are ready for automated provisioning. We have attempted to eliminate as many
single points of failure as possible in our server and
network architecture. All servers have a RAID-5 array of
hard disks to eliminate any downtime with a single hard
drive failure. We use dual power supplies when possible
and the servers are outfitted with a minimum of two network
interfaces. When possible we have clustered our servers
together or placed them in a Citrix server farm to provide
additional redundancy. We recommend to our customers that
are hosting mission critical applications that they host
a minimum of two servers with us to offer cluster/failover
capabilities.

Monitoring
All servers are monitored 24/7/365
and our staff is auto-notified if any problems should
occur. We consistently monitor all of the hardware, the
entire network, each software application as well as
all environmental factors in our data centers. Additionally,
we provide our customers with the ability to remotely
power cycle their dedicated servers if they are handling
administrative tasks through advanced remote console
technologies. |

Support
We only use equipment from major manufacturers.
Our servers are HP Proliant and Dell servers
and we maintain service contracts and on the shelf
spares for each server to respond on hardware failures.
As a Dell premier and HP partner we have
access to high level technicians in case of a software/hardware
issue 24 hours a day. ANS is a Microsoft Certified Partner
as well as a Microsoft ASP Hosting Partner. Our relationship
with Microsoft gives us round the clock emergency support
with any of their business products or operating systems.
