All WebFarm servers are hosted in our new enterprise-class data
centre in Auckland and utilise the latest technologies with an emphasis
on stability and security.
WebFarm offers a range of dedicated server and web
hosting solutions. All servers are hosted in our new enterprise-class
data centre in Auckland, with the availability to also host in our US
tier 1 data centre, and utilise the latest technologies with an
emphasis on stability and security.
Network
Our
high speed circuits to New Zealand’s public internet exchange provide a
high performance path between the WebFarm data centre and your New
Zealand based business. We provide unmatched service diversity,
flexibility and reliability. Our routing and switching technology is
configured to ensure that the failure of a network device does not
result in a complete loss of service.
WebFarm's network is
also designed to deliver the best possible performance and reliability
to your international customers. We achieve this by purchasing at least
twice the bandwidth needed during our peak hours, and by maintaining
circuits to multiple international transit providers.
Power supply
Rack power distribution
Conditioned
power is delivered to racks by power distribution units throughout the
facility. Each rack has dual 10 Amp power outlets, primary power and
one redundant power supply. To protect sensitive electronic equipment,
all racks are electrically bonded to each other and to special
anti-static flooring fitted throughout the data centre.
Uninterruptible power supply
The
electrical system of the WebFarm data centre is powered by reliable,
parallel Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units to ensure the
continuous delivery of clean and stable main power to all servers.
Backup diesel generator
In
the event of a utility power failure, WebFarm has a private diesel
generator with sufficient capacity to power the data centre. The
generator is rated to deliver full power 24/7 in the event of power
cuts similar to those experienced in Auckland city in February 1998.
Climate
The
WebFarm data centre features raised flooring and a HVAC Plenum cooling
system (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) to efficiently
maintain optimal temperatures and humidity. Multiple commercial grade
air conditioning units are also strategically located to ensure all
servers operate well within their designed temperature range.
Fire prevention
Early
fire and smoke detection ensures critical computer hardware, customer
data and applications are protected from the risk of fire. Gas
Ionisation and smoke detectors are used to detect fire and smoke within
the data centre. Smoke detection is incorporated under the raised floor
and above the cable trays.
Security
The
WebFarm data centre operates a strict security policy. A video
surveillance system and intrusion alarms are in place to monitor all
activity 24 hours a day.
