Argon Hosting has partnered with Rackspace to bring you the most robust network in the industry. You can visit them online and read more on their technology at www.rackspace.com. The network was designed and built to minimize downtime and we are so confident in the network that we will give you money back if it goes down.

Our 100% Network Uptime Guarantee Every aspect of our Zero-Downtime Network makes it real:

  • We use the network only for our customers' hosting needs, never sharing it with telecom services or cable TV services that would negatively affect your service.
  • The only bandwidth we use is high performance bandwidth, which usually isn't the case with cheaper hosting providers.
  • To provide multiple redundancies in the flow of information to and from our data centers, we partner with nine network providers.
  • Every fiber carrier must enter our data centers at separate points. This is to protect you from complete service failures caused by an unlikely network cut.
  • You get fast and reliable network connections because our Proactive Network Management methodology monitors route efficiency and end-user performance, automatically improving the network's topology and configuration in real-time.
  • We purposely underutilize the network, making it resilient to even the largest Internet routing issues.
  • The network's configuration, co-developed with Cisco, guards against any single points of failure at the shared network level.
  • Cisco and Arbor Networks continually work with our datacenter, creating ever-improving ways of monitoring and securing our network.

Datacenters

Our data centers are engineered to the standards required to support the Zero-Downtime Network. They are designed and maintained without compromise for security or redundancy. Ever.


datacenters

Physical Security
  • Keycard protocols, biometric scanning protocols and round-the-clock interior and exterior surveillance monitor access to every one of our data centers.
  • Only authorized data center personnel are granted access credentials to our data centers. No one else can enter the production area of the datacenter without prior clearance and an appropriate escort.
  • Every data center employee undergoes multiple and thorough background security checks before they're hired.


Precision Environment
  • Every data center's HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) system is N+1 redundant. This ensures that a duplicate system immediately comes online should there be an HVAC system failure.
  • Every 90 seconds, all the air in our data centers are circulated and filtered to remove dust and contaminants.
  • Our advanced fire suppression systems are designed to stop fires from spreading in the unlikely event one should occur.


Conditioned Power
  • Should a total utility power outage ever occur, all of our data centers' power systems are designed to run uninterrupted, with every server receiving conditioned UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) power.
  • Our UPS power subsystem is N+1 redundant, with instantaneous failover if the primary UPS fails.
  • If an extended utility power outage occurs, our routinely tested, on-site diesel generators can run indefinitely.


Core Routing Equipment
  • Only fully redundant, enterprise-class routing equipment is used in the Rackspace data centers.
  • Fiber carriers enter our data centers at disparate points to guard against service failure.


Network Technicians
  • We require that the networking and security teams working in our data centers be certified. We also require that they be thoroughly experienced in managing and monitoring enterprise level networks.
  • Our Certified Network Technicians are trained to the highest industry standards.
