Our Facilities

Our seven servers are located in two state-of-the-art data centers in Houston, Texas. The facility offers 100,000 square feet of web hosting space, each featuring redundant UPS, generator backup and smoke detection/fire protection systems. Both locations are under 24/7 camera surveillance and armed guard patrol.

These are connected to the Internet through 14 Gigabit Ethernet links from six separate backbone providers. As of May 2004, we are home to over 20,000 Windows and Linux web servers.

Among the seven powerful servers we maintain, four are with Linux and Windows operating systems. One acts as our dedicated email server and two as our database mssql/mysql servers.

Substantial bandwidth capacity allows us to accommodate even the largest spikes in traffic. To ensure rapid delivery of content, we continuously add network connectivity and new routes. Low bandwidth utilization allows for maximum uptime, even if multiple transit partners experience simultaneous outages.

Core Routing Equipment

We use only fully redundant, enterprise-class routing equipment housed in its own secure, core routing room and fed with its own redundant power supply. Our fiber carriers enter the facilities at disparate access points to ensure that there is no service failure, even in the unlikely event of a fiber cut.

We realize that a Tier-1 data center is more than hardware and software. That's why we employ a certified networking and security team with years of experience in managing and monitoring enterprise-level networks. Our certified Rackspace network technicians are trained to the highest standards to ensure that we are able to meet our 100% infrastructure availability guarantee.

Zero-Downtime Network™

The Rackspace network has been engineered from the ground up to accommodate the high-availability demands of our customers' mission-critical web applications. Our Cisco-powered, Zero-Downtime Network™ has unique self-healing attributes that allow us to deliver on our 100% infrastructure availability guarantee.

This centralization of information and control give us incredible flexibility when serving our customers. Not only does CORE provide the automation that helps us deploy complex hosting environments quickly, but once your hosting environment is in production, we’re able to monitor, identify problems, test potential solutions and roll back changes, all from within one application. This creates efficiency which translates into faster service delivery for our customers and at the same time dramatically reduces the chance for human error.
