What makes AdvertSERVE great isn't the top of the line hardware from Cisco and IBM that it runs on. It's the network that makes the difference. AdvertSERVE has direct connections to several leading Internet backbone providers and uses the BGP4 routing protocol to ensure that data travels over optimal paths. What does all of this mean to you? It means that AdvertSERVE is both fast and reliable.

· Network

Global CDN

Media files are automatically and transparently deployed to a global content delivery network. The network consists of content delivery nodes in 45 datacenters located throughout 23 cities worldwide. Visitors download media files from the content delivery node which is geographically nearest to them, which results in equally super fast download speeds for all of your visitors no matter where they are located.

Datacenters

Connectivity

• Super-fast and redundant OC-192 connection (10GB) to several Tier 1 backbone providers.
• 100% Cisco Systems powered internal network with zero packet loss guarantee.
• BGP4 routing protocol is used to provide best path route adjustment to ensure that traffic is delivered to the best provider.

Climate Control

Fully redundant cooling systems insure that the center is always operating at a temperature of optimum server performance.

Fire Supression

If combustion is detected, Inergen fire suppressant is released into the area. Inergen fire suppressant is made up of naturally occurring gases found in the air we breathe so it's safe for people, safe for servers and safe for the planet. The fire smothers without causing any of the damage done by messy foams or sprinklers.

Uninterruptible Power

3,500 kva PowerWare UPS units provide instant backup power in the event of a power failure. Should the battery power of the PowerWare UPS units get drained, the 1.5 Megawatt Onan diesel power generator is activated. The entire data center can, if needed, be powered by the Onan unit during extended power outages.

Security

Secure passage throughout the data center is insured by Microchip badge access entrances, biometric scanning devices, overhead cameras monitored by security personnel and motion/heat detection devices. In addition to physical security, the security of your network transmissions are of the utmost importance. We've matched this priority with heavy investments in network security designed to override service interruptions due to accidental or hacking incidents.
