The NZHosting network has such state
of the art features as fiber optic networking, OC3 connections,
bandwidth on demand ability, redundant UPS systems, generator
backup, VESPA detection systems, closed circuit monitoring
of all areas and entrances, card key access, 24 hour guard
manned security, redundant a/c systems, and fiber from
5 separate providers. (see below).
Our Servers
Extended Network
NZHosting.com recognizes that down time is not an
option for your servers... a substantial investment in
hardware and facilities ensures you are up and running
on the web 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Uninterruptible Power System
To guard against local power failures, our servers
utilize two industrial-grade, three phase Liebert UPS
systems. These act as back-up batteries, maintaining uninterrupted
power in case of surges or power outages. With these backup
systems in place, we can keep our network up and running
indefinitely without relying on external power.
Force Filtered Cooling
All web servers are equipped with a positive pressure
filtered-air system. Four large fans pull filtered air
into each server's protective case and the components
within are cooled by fans which circulate this purified
air. This constant introduction of clean air into the
case creates a positive pressure environment ensuring
dust and particles remain outside of the server.
Hot Swap Drives
The drives and drive bays of all servers are constructed
from high-grade aluminum, and rest in shock mounted drive
cages, which adds to the durability of the hardware. Our
drives proudly feature the lowest failure rate in the
industry.
Redundant Hot Swap Power Supplies
Each server employs dual-redundant hot swap power
supplies. If a power supply were to fail, the server would
continue running with power from the alternate supply.
Meanwhile, alarms would alert a technician, who would
quickly restore redundancy. In the meantime, servers and
client sites would experience no downtime.
Industrial-Grade Air Conditioners
NZHosting.com NOC has two Liebert ten ton industrial
air conditioners, which condition our computer rooms and
operations center. Our computer room is kept at an optimal
temperature of 65 degrees fahrenheit.
Standby Servers
We keep spare servers on-line of all CPU configurations.
If a server were to experience a hardware failure, we
would turn a key, grab the handle on the drive, pull it
out, and insert it into an identical standby CPU. We would
then reboot the second machine and the server would be
up and running again in a matter of minutes.

Network Redundancy
Utilization of intelligent end-user routing software
called Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), between Qwest, GC
and GTE, who use the same protocol. BGP identifies which
path is the most efficient for each data packet and then
routes the packet to its destination on the fastest path.
This increases the speed at which web pages sent from
our NOC arrive at their destination.
Raw Performance Equals Low Latency/High
Throughput
Too often providers operate their networks at three
to four times responsible capacity. As a result, their
corresponding transfer times reach over 300ms. NZHosting.com
network daily average is 27% of its capacity, with midday
peak spikes reaching only 33% capacity. NZHosting.com
guarantees you will be carried off our network in less
than 80ms over a five minute average at any time of day
or night.
