A Data-Center is a physical building or space that is designed from the ground up for providing uninterrupted service (electric power, 24×7 monitored security, cooling, high capacity fiber optic Internet connections, fire protection etc). Data-Centers are the ideal location for placing mission critical Internet services such as web hosting, email hosting, and high speed connection points. Data-Centers often are refereed to as Carrier Hotels since multiple carriers will often operate from within a Data-Center to provide connections to one another.
- YourNextHost’s Unique Business Model
YourNextHost’s unique business model of operating out of multiple geographically redundant data-center facilities throughout the United States and Europe is one of the main items that differentiates YourNextHost. Other Internet Service Providers (ISP) and web hosting providers utilize their own data-centers but are still limited by regional issues such as fiber optic cuts, natural disasters, extended rolling blackouts and capacity limitations that can not be avoided when operating out of a single Data-Center location. YourNextHost leverages this unique business model to provide an unparalleled level of reliability and redundancy in web hosting services. The competition makes promises of ‘raid’ disk backup in case of server crashes, or multiple Internet backbone connections for redundancy – but only YourNextHost offers real time 100% uptime options by offering live mirrored servers located throughout Europe.
Data-Center Features
YourNextHost utilizes multiple redundant high speed fiber optic connections in each data-center. Utilizing edge routers from industry performance leaders throughout our network core for internal routers and switches we ensure the ultimate in network performance. All our core network locations have multiple routers and switches to ensure hardware redundancy. All our switches run at wire speed and our core routers are capable of over 1.5 Tbps capacity.

Power Systems with Distributed Redundancy:
Highly reliable power is imperative for critical customer operations. Electrical AC power delivery is provided via distributed redundant UPS system batteries with at least 12 minutes full load operation (on-site diesel engine generators take roughly 8 seconds to synchronize and assume load). There is 48 hours worth of generator fuel on-site and contracts with multiple fuel providers to ensure a constant flow of diesel to the generator.
(VESDA) – Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus is installed in every facility. These highly sensitive aspirating smoke detectors are linked to the Building Management systems which are monitored continually to provide very early detection and avoid costly fires or business disruption. This is coupled with a waterless gas based fire retardant (FM200) system that is environmentally friendly to put out fires instantly without damaging equipment.
To ensure optimum performance, the data-centers are maintained at a constant 22°C ± 2°C and relative humidity is kept at 50% ± 10%. Both are continually monitored to ensure proper requirements.
All facilities are secured and monitored 24 hours a day. Biometric scanners are required for entry and exit at every access point, video surveillance monitors access points and the data-center floor 24/7. All servers are within locked cabinet enclosures within the data-center floor. All customer access is provided only by escorted YourNextHost personnel.
All physical access is monitored 24/7 by video surveillance, and all servers and network connections are continuously monitored by customized geo-positioned monitoring stations throughout Europe. Our Network monitoring tools provide instant performance and status tools to quantify the quality of your service with YourNextHost. Early detection of slowing connections or server daemons taking slightly longer to reply provide notice to you long before a small problem turns into a service outage and lost profits.
