Our facility is staffed and monitored around the clock, year-round. Our staff is experienced in quickly resolving hardware and software issues. In addition, the latest network and server monitoring technology instantly detects problems and ensures immediate resolution. Reliable, Scalable, Fault TolerantDakota Backup's data center was designed to be reliable, high-performance, scalable and fault tolerant. Our network backbone is built with Cisco equipment, the world leader in Internet network gear. Every part of the network -- switches, routers and firewalls -- has a redundant "stand-in" that instantly becomes operational in the event of a hardware failure. As a result, most network problems result in no lost data or connections. Beyond our edge routers, our network is completely switched and centers around a redundant gigabit fiber backbone. Extra fiber is pre-wired to each row, allowing us to add new capacity quickly and meet additional bandwidth requirements as needed. |
