Hosting Services : NOC

    <p class=default>
      
        Webb’s solutions are delivered as completely hosted, tunkey
      
    <br/>

      
                         systems. All communities and applications are hosted at
      
    <br/>

      
                         Webb’s Network Operations Center (NOC). 
      
    </p>

      
                         The Webb NOC is designed with two primary goals in mind:
      
    <br/>

      
                         High-Availability and Maximum Scalability. 
      
    </p>

      
                         For High-Availability, each piece of equipment is configured with
      
    <br/>

      
                         internally redundant components in clustered arrangements in
      
    <br/>

      
                         case of catastrophic failure. Monitoring tools track the health
      
    <br/>

      
                         and status of each server and network component so problems
      
    <br/>

      
                         can be addressed before equipment failure. In the event of
      
    <br/>

      
                         equipment failure, each component has a redundant backup in
      
    <br/>

      
                         the NOC. Any single piece of equipment could fail without
      
    <br/>

      
                         noticeable loss in service. 
      
    </p>

      
                         For Scalability, two basic components have been addressed.
      
    <br/>

      
                         The first, Network bandwidth, is very scalable and easily
      
    <br/>

      
                         upgraded. There are currently two Internet connections (for
      
    <br/>

      
                         redundancy, not bandwidth) to separate routers provided by
      
    <br/>

      
                         Verio. Each of these is currently at 6Mps, but can be increased
      
    <br/>

      
                         to 100Mps each within minutes. The second, Hardware, has
      
    <br/>

      
                         been addressed by the configuration of the servers. Every server
      
    <br/>

      
                         has been configured so that installing additional processors and
      
    <br/>

      
                         memory can quickly double the processing power. 
      
    </p>

      
                         Security has been addressed via dual firewalls running Sun
      
    <br/>

      
                         Solaris with Checkpoint Firewall-1 software. These are in a
      
    <br/>

      
                         High-Availability configuration in case of equipment failure.
