Infrastructure

I-dentity customer websites are stored on state-of-the-art servers with blazing fast access speeds. Our servers are located in a 22,000 square foot data center in Connecticut where the network has been engineered for the high-availability demands of today's active websites. This means you can always expect fast, reliable access to your website.

Data Center

• Network Security
  The data center incorporates the latest technologies in IDS (Intrusion Detection System) to monitor and protect against malicious attacks. In addition, our servers are protected behind internal firewalls and monitoring software.

• Data Center Security
  The data center takes security very seriously. All major entry points to the building and computer area require an electronic ID card and security code. The buildings are monitored by cameras and supervised 24 hours per day.

• Monitoring
  The data center is monitored 24x7 by highly qualified network administrators. The HTTP port is monitored while Ping tests are conducted every 5 minutes to verify that the servers are active. In the event that a port is unreachable, an email is sent to every member of the technical staff. Additionally, the engineers are provided with real-time status, notification and forecasting of network events.

• Connectivity
  Your website is hosted on servers connected to the Internet through multiple redundant connections provided by some of the largest backbone providers in the world - MCI, SBC, Level 3, and Global Crossing - ensuring data delivery to the end user in the fastest, most efficient manner possible. For this reason, I-dentity is able to guarantee a 99.9% uptime.

• Bandwidth
  There is enough bandwidth to accommodate even the largest surges in web traffic. Because there is a lower-than average capacity, and the bandwidth utilization is continuously monitored, we are able to keep our customers' websites running efficiently even during the Internet's busiest periods. The data center utilizes multiple 155 Mbit OC3 and 45 Mbit DS3 bandwidth connections.

• Level 3 (Genuity)
  Level 3, which operates one of the largest Internet backbones in the world, became even larger with their recent acquisition of Genuity.

• Global Crossing
  Global Crossing's fiber optic network consists of over 100,000 route miles which join more than 200 cities around the globe.

• MCI (UUNET)
  By acquiring the assets of UUNET, MCI has become one of the industry's farthest-reaching global Internet backbone, spanning six continents, over 140 countries, over 2,800 cities and over 4,500 Points of Presence (PoPs).
