Ensuring the best Web site performance anywhere, WebMarket West offers one of the world's most powerful and redundant Web site hosting networks. We provide reliable and robust Web site hosting services from our datacenters using the following state-of-the-net hardware and software.

First, and foremost is the use of full fiber optic connectivity. This is accomplished through multiple redundant OC-3's and 3 DS-3's to diverse locations. All connectivity is provided through our tier one backbone via Sprint, UUnet, MCI, DIGEX, GOODNET and MFS. We also monitor our backbone performance. This enables us to automatically re-route Web site traffic down the shortest path using Cisco Systems BGP4 protocol.

Secondly, we offer Internet backbone level routing using redundant Foundry BigIron fiber switches with 100 MB/second interface into our backbone.  Also included are Foundry workgroup 24 port switches with 100 mb/s to all servers.  Backbone speed is Gigabit

Our Unix Web servers are multiple Silicon Graphics Origin 200/2000 servers.  Each server is loaded with 512 to 1024 MB of Ram, 9 GB Cheetah system hard drives, 36 GB striped/plexed data storage, and dual or quad RISC CPUs.

Our NT Web servers are multiple Intel Dual Pentium III 550mhz servers. Each system is loaded with 512 Megabyte to 1 Gigabyte of memory, quad RAID 5 Ultra SCSI redundant Segate Technologies 10,000 rpm Cheetah drives.

Cool temperatures allow our servers to operate at peak efficiency with enhanced reliability. Servers generate quite a bit of heat which is why we have multiple, redundant commercial grade air conditioning units in each server room. These high security facilities are accessible by authorized personnel only. Access to the building requires electronic ID badges. Access to our data center is limited to top security personnel via electronic palm scanners.

Also, all servers and communications equipment are supported by 5 - 2.5 Megawatt generators and dual 300 KVA UPS units. Our backup generators can power the entire office and all additional equipment if necessary! All our equipment receives conditioned power to protect from damaging voltage spikes, brown-outs, and electromagnetic noise. Even during lightning storms our servers receive a clean, steady source of power.

Our daily tape backup occurs on a 40 TB (terabyte) robotic system from Storage Technologies which employs the latest DLT4 technology and 10 TB (terabyte) robotic tape backup system by Spectra Logic employing AIT2 technology. If a hard drive crashes, we can install a new hard drive and restore the drive content from this tape backup while the server itself is still operating.

We mean it when we say your Web site will be available for viewing by the Internet community. Our 99% (plus) uptime record is the best in the entire Web Hosting industry.
