| Basic Plan |
| This plan has all features you need for a Web Site. Support for PHP and CGI/Perl and a MySQL database means you can use it for dynamic content like a Content Managment System, Guestbook or Forum. |
| |
| Hardware RAID10 Arrays |
Our servers are protected by hardware RAID10 arrays to help reduce or even eliminate downtime in the event of a hard disk failure. The servers are also backed by a hot-spare disk for immediate failover and the hard disks are completely hot-swappable so that a failed disk can be replaced while the server remains online. |
| SAS 15K Storage |
One of the first bottlenecks to be hit in an environment hosting database intensive applications is the throughput from the hard disks. To resolve this problem we use solely Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 15,000 RPM Cheetah hard disks from Seagate. We never reach the maximum throughput level on our servers and combined with RAID10 protection we have the ultimate storage platform in terms of performance and redundancy. |
| Supermicro Rackmount Servers |
Supermicro is known throughout the industry for the build quality of their rackmountable servers as well as their efficiencies in terms of cooling and low power consumption. Supermicro are our exclusive hardware vendor with all of our servers built to order to the highest standards. |
| Route Optimized Performance Bandwidth |
We purchase the highest quality of bandwidth from InterNAP, Level 3 Communications and Time Warner Telecom. We also optimize all of our outbound routes using the Flow Control Platform (FCP) device. This means that we will not only route traffic to your site visitors but we will do so in the quickest and most reliable way possible. The FCP device helps to route around any packet loss or latency that may exist between the data center and your site visitor that wouldn’t be on a conventional unoptimized hosting network. Running the FCP device on top of our high performance bandwidth providers and fully redundant meshed network offers our customers an unbeatable solution. |
| Cisco Backend Network for Enterprise Service Delivery |
We run a secure 100% Cisco powered backend network running at 1GBps/sec which all of our servers are connected to. Over the backend network we deliver enterprise services to you. |
| Hot-Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) Failover Protection |
We run Cisco\'s Hot-Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) failover protection system across all routers at all network levels. This means network maintenance can be performed transparently without downtime. If a router should fail, traffic is automatically failed over without causing an outage. Our network is 100% Cisco Powered using Cisco Catalyst 6509 and 2960 switches, all run in redundant pairs. |

| Carbon Offsetting |
We have partnered with Green Mountain Energy, the leading provider of cleaner energy and carbon offsetting solutions, to purchase 25 metric tons of carbon credits to offset the emissions of our hosting operations. On behalf of CMSICE Green Mountain will invest in renewable energy sources like wind and solar power as well as biomass facilities – many of which have been setup as a result of their initiatives. Our funding will also provide support for reforestation projects through Green Mountain’s relationship with the Pacific Forest Trust. Our emissions levels will be reviewed annually and the amount of carbon credits required to offset them adjusted accordingly. |
| Reduced Energy Consumption |
While offsetting our emissions through carbon credits is very important it is our long-term game plan to actually reduce our emissions on a per client basis across our operations. This means that the carbon emissions generated by delivering service to a client today are less than they were a year ago and going into the future we hope to reduce them further. Many steps have already been taken on the technology front to achieve this such as investing in more expensive but far more power efficient computer processors like AMD’s Opteron High Efficiency (HE) line of CPUs. While delivering the same computing power an Opteron HE CPU uses on average 27 watts less power than a standard Opteron. |
| Data Center Cooling Improvements |
It is a little known fact in hosting that for every amp of power used to run a server in a data center it takes on average another amp of power to run the climate control systems that cool it. We have been working to reduce the amount of power consumed in our cooling operations in several different ways. Firstly, we have installed filler panels in all of our cabinet slots that are not actually filled by servers. This means all of the cold air is forced through the servers instead of passing through gaps above or below. It takes lot of energy to cool the air in a data center, especially in the summer months, so not passing all of the cool air through the servers is wasteful which is what the filler panels help to prevent. Secondly, our exclusive server hardware vendor, Supermicro, design the best rackmount system chassis available in terms of air flow design. By deploying servers with the best possible air flow it actually allows us to raise the ambient air temperature of data center floor by around two degrees Fahrenheit without compromising service in any way at all. By raising the floor temperature slightly we can reduce the load on the climate control systems. Lastly, we also invest heavily in other technologies to improve airflow and cooling like raised flooring with perforated tiles throughout the facility and efficient hot / cold isle cabinet layouts on the data center floor. |
| Recycling and Reducing Wastefulness |
Where possible all of the packaging we receive with new servers, switches and other items in is fully recycled. Vendors like Supermicro are also working to reduce the amount of packaging their servers require as well. We work to reduce wastefulness by keeping printing to a minimum and requesting all invoices electronically from our vendors as well as issuing invoices electronically to our own clients as well. |
