Thinkpad In order to efficiently reach its strategic network service
provider partners, Speedera has implemented a network connectivity
infrastructure within Equinix's network-rich Internet hubs that
enables a direct, reliable and efficient means of interconnecting
networks. At Equinix, Speedera can interconnect with every major
regional and international carrier, network and ISP within the same
facility, greatly enhancing the scalability of its service and
reducing the transport
costs of linking to these
strategic partners in multiple, disparate locations and over
long distances. These direct interconnections allow Speedera to
quickly and efficiently grow its operations with
greater flexibility while
bringing content and hosted applications closer to end-users,
resulting in a higher-performance experience for the millions of
visitors to the sites of its approximately 300 customers.
With this latest network investment and development effort, the inContact software has been tightly integrated into the switching fabric of the network and enhanced to detect and handle failover. The entire inNetwork(TM) application server farm (see editor's note), which supports the inContact application suite, has been replicated at two server centers, Salt Lake City and Los Angeles. If, for example, a software service or the server that runs the application fails at the primary Salt Lake center, the software and hardware have been architected and configured to detect a failure and failover to a redundant software service or server running in Los Angeles. As business and traffic grows, the company is prepared to replicate the inNetwork server farms at additional network server centers, further expanding hardware and software failover options.
Microsoft In addition to providing a platform for network connectivity,
the world-class security features of Equinix data centers include
interlocking "mantrap" doors, multiple layers of biometric
hand-geometry scanners controlling access, Kevlar-lined bullet
resistant walls, as well as 24-hour security officers and hundreds
of surveillance cameras. The power operations of each center
include a high-performance backup system that guarantees
uninterrupted power even in the event of utility power
disruption.
