Hostek.com's Preparations

Hostek.com has taken disaster recovery into account at all levels. Early last year, January I believe it was, we moved from side 1 of the data center to side 2. The purpose of this move was so we could have full A and B power. We have full A and B power on all equipment.

Additionally, we have RPS's (remote power supplies) for all switches.

For all pieces of the network, we have N+1 minimally.

We utilize vmWare (the premier virtualization software) which handles automated monitoring and shuffling of servers in the event of any hardware failure. A server can go down and vmWare will migrate that server to a different piece of hardware with no interruption (we have seen this live, and in tests).

For the SAN's, we utilize Dell's Equalogic SAN's. We utilize both a Primary and a Secondary SAN. This is unusual in the industry because the SAN's have full redundant everything anyway. However, we have chosen to implement the Secondary SAN as a extra disaster recovery level.

To summarize, we have built the infrastructure to be completely N+1 and then some, utilizing the top of the line vmWare to fully reduce and minimize any hardware/network issues that may arise.
