Application Hosting and Managed Services

Network
ActiveScience relies on some of the fastest and most reliable Internet backbones in the industry. This clear channel network consists of bi-directional OC-12 & OC-192 rings extending throughout the United States. The ActiveScience hosted application are deployed on a backbone that is a pure IP-routed network that does not segment into other services, such as voice or fax, meaning your data never has to share bandwidth with non-IP traffic. The network is designed to support mission critical non-stop web applications for both smaller hosted websites and bandwidth intensive, high traffic e-commerce portals.

Facilities

The Internet Data Center (IDC) provides the physical environment necessary to keep your servers up and running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The facility is custom designed with HVAC temperature control systems with separate cooling zones, and seismically braced racks. The (IDC) also offers physical security features, including state-of-the-art pre-action fire suppression system, uninterrupted AC Power, 24X7 secured card access, as well as video surveillance and security breach alarms. Within the facility, we are able to deliver the highest level of reliability through redundant sub-systems, diverse local telecom and Internet connectivity, fully redundant power and multiple back up generators.

Network Operations Center is maintained and monitored 24x7x365 so you are always able to get high-level technical support. In addition, automatic monitoring systems check your hosted web site or dedicated servers to ensure up-time status. The staff has tremendous experience in dealing with both hardware and software problems to ensure speedy resolution to a problem.

The data center was designed from the ground up for performance, scalability and redundancy. In every facet of the network, redundancy and Fault-tolerance was taken into account. Every piece of network gear from routers, switches and firewalls have a redundant pair that can quickly fail over transparently with no loss of customer data or connections. Behind our edge routers, we feature a completely switched architecture for blazing speed. The network was designed around a fully redundant, gigabit fiber backbone, with extra fiber pre-wired to each row. Our backbone has the capacity to meet any current possible bandwidth requirements, and the extra pre-wired fiber can be quickly implemented if the need arises.

All ActiveScience equipment is fully protected from power outages by both battery backups and generators.

Our 24x7 staff uses the latest in network monitoring software to assure that a problem in the network is instantly detected and responded to.
