Globat.com new B2 hosting platform features the redundancy and backup found only at top-level, commercial data centers. B2 is capable of distributing various areas and functions of your Web site across multiple servers; each one manages a different application for optimum performance. Other hosting companies run numerous applications on one server, thus increasing the likelihood of failure.
Our B2 system features intelligent Cisco Catalyst Switches, Network Appliance Raid 4 Filers and on-line backup machines with additional disc drives, ensuring that your data will always be available. Even in an extreme case, if one part of our hosting network was to go down, your Web site will continue to operate without loss of any data or prolonged downtime.
We also employ clustering technology to ensure that our network has optimal performance and is scalable, as well as redundant. For instance, we have an extremely robust mail system that utilizes high-performance FreeBSD and Linux servers that tie into an EMC enterprise storage system on the back-end to provide high-end intelligent mail services. This includes the latest in spam and virus protection software, configurable through advanced controls available to you, our customer, through the Globat Command Console (GCC|). B2 also has dedicated mySQL servers that are configured with performance-optimized redundant RAID SCSI storage for a best-in-class solution.
On top of our redundant architecture sits the Globat Command Console (GCC). The GCC puts you in control of the server cluster by allowing you to seamlessly modify entries and settings on B2 DNS, e-mail or file serving clusters.

Data Center
Globat utilizes
two data centers in the Boston, MA area. Combined, they occupy over 2400 square feet of space, comprised of over 800 Servers and half a Petabyte of storage. Each center is equipped with:
* and have the same network architecture and equipment.
* 24x7 security
* Both data centers run on N+1 power (both A/C and D/C)
Our solid, secure network infrastructure is comprised of a pooled server environment, which gives virtually any server on our network the ability to access Web site files when a request occurs. This means that the first machine available will be the one to serve a customer's Web pages, giving our customer sites faster loading times and fewer service interruptions than traditional hosting infrastructures.
Our front-end network consists of:
* 2 firewalls incorporating IDP technology cross-connected to the outside world with BGP border gateway protocol.
* dual redundant M7I routers
Our network-attached storage enables any machine to access a customer's data.
Every machine is clustered with another identical machine that will seamlessly take over if the primary unit crashes. These units are also backed up to another set of storage units that have a mirror copy of the data in case of disk failure in the primary units. An estimated 5.5 gigabits of storage are processed per second through our servers.
Site data is parsed by our dual
Big Iron load balancers and is then managed by our DELL servers, which are split into application pools (Web, FTP, incoming mail, etc.). This type of architecture allows us to customize each machine to the service it performs, which means more density per box, and ultimately, faster and more reliable services. No pool lives entirely on one rack. Therefore, even the loss of a rack's switch or its power will not take that service pool down.
