Nightly Complete Backups
All your website data is backed up daily to a Rackable Systems 4 TB
Network Attached Storage unit. We continuously maintain over 45 days worth
of backups and can use the unit in a hot-swap configuration with the NAS
server in case of failure. Additionally, 2Macs backs up all MySQL
databases and server configuration files twice daily. 2Macs was
hand-selected nationally to work directly with Rackable System on the
storage unit and software.
Force Filtered Cooling
All drives, motherboards, and power supplies in our NOC are in cases
with a positive pressure filtered-air environment. Fans pull filtered
air into the protective case, and the components within are cooled by
fans which circulate this purified air. The constant introduction of
clean air into the case creates a positive pressure environment ensuring
that dust and particles remain out.
Hot Swap RAID 5 Drives
The drives and drive bays of our servers are all constructed from
high-grade aluminum, and rest in a Shock Mounted Drive Cage, which adds to
the durability of the hardware. We also back up our servers nightly. By
running a RAID 5 configuration, a drive could completely fail and the
machine would still run, which ensures that your website remains up. The
NAS units also run with a hot-spare, so we could lose 2 drives and still
run.
Standby Servers
2Macs has online spares of all server configurations. If the server were
to experience a hardware failure, we would turn on the backup and connect
to the data and have the sites running again in a matter of minutes. If
for some reason the NAS storage unit fails, it will fail-over to the
backup unit which provides the same functionality. Again, your website
would be back up in a matter of minutes.
