What is a Datacenter?

[vishalhost]

Datacenter is a globally distributed collection of redundant server infrastructure which hosts all internet related domain names, hosting Products and Services. VishalHost have pioneered the concept of a globally distributed Datacenter.

Salient features of a Datacenter

• Integrates hundreds of distributed servers seamlessly
• Provides high-availability, redundancy and unmatched reliability

Details of a Datacenter:

A Datacenter consists of servers distributed across various Datacenters worldwide. Most of these datacenters have certain common qualifications described below –

Network:

The datacenters are connected to the internet through Gigabit Ethernet connections from separate backbone providers, who each run fiber optic cables into the data center through separate entry points.

Security:

To guard against line failure or intrusion, the data center is staffed 24 hours a day. Movement throughout the facility is escorted at ALL times. There is 24x7 closed circuit monitoring of all areas and entrances. Between the cameras, access control, and the security team, the datacenter facilities are pretty secure.

Power:

The total incoming power is a multiple of what is required to run the datacenter. There is an ATS (Automatic Transfer switch) in place to automatically kick in a generator in case of a power failure. The datacenters are also equipped with redundant UPS systems to ensure clean power.

Cooling:

Redundant A/C systems, each running at a fraction of their capacity, keep the server rooms cool. The units are alternated so that each one is kept in optimal condition.

Advanced Smoke Detection & Fire Protection Systems:

The datacenters are equipped with specialized fire detection and protection systems meant specifically for protecting servers as using ordinary water based systems would cause just as much damage as fire.

Why use a Vishalhost.com Datacenter?

Scalability & Reliability:

Vishalhost Datacenter consists of a complex mesh of global servers that interact with each other. The entire architecture is built upon common principles of High-Availability, Clustering and n+1 Architecture. This allows us to scale our solutions to match your exponential growth by simply adding infrastructure and linking it to this architecture. You are abstracted from worrying about variables such as scalability, uptime, network response etc

Global Reach:

The datacenters of vishalhost.com and their partners have invested in infrastructure deployments at various locations globally. Anyone can now leverage upon this global infrastructure and offer a completely global experience to their Customers without any investments. Vishalhost handles the selection, negotiation and relationship management with Infrastructure providers around the world.

White Labeled Architecture:

The Datacenter at vishalhost.com are a cluster of globally distributed redundant servers of various different operating systems to provide Customers and Resellers with myriad web hosting options. The servers and IP addresses are white-labeled and cannot be traced back to us. If you are one of Vishalhost Resellers, then the name servers used for any services hosted on these servers would be your branded Name Servers. So for all practical purposes these clusters of hundreds of servers would appear as YOUR servers to your Customers.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing this great post on data center.

[nitinslash]

Thanks for sharing useful information....

Nice Explanation,
A data center (sometimes spelled datacenter) is a centralized repository, either physical or virtual, for the storage, management, and dissemination of data and information organized around a particular body of knowledge or pertaining to a particular business.

[haaiamerica]

The advanced features are more valuable to maintain the data centers. Informative share.

I think this is the best post on data center described very deeply and if any one read for the first time about data center then he can definitely get enough idea.Thanks for sharing this.

Known as the server farm or the computer room, the data center is where the majority of an enterprise servers and storage are located, operated and managed. There are four primary components to a data center:

Hello,

Thx for sharing such helpful information

[Host Deal]

Useful information about Data Center, especially for who that will be learn more about Data Center and other hosting definition.

[Planethoster]

Thank you for this useful information

[omprakash9]

nice information,thanks for sharing with us.

Data center is nothing but group of networked computer server used to house computer systems and associated components such as telecommunications and storage system.

[markorton]

A data center is a repository that houses computing facilities like servers, routers, switches and firewalls, as well as supporting components like backup equipment, fire suppression facilities and air conditioning. A data center may be complex (dedicated building) or simple (an area or room that houses only a few servers). Additionally, a data center may be private or shared.

A data center (or datacenter) is a facility composed of networked computers and storage that businesses or other organizations use to organize, process, store and disseminate large amounts of data. A business typically relies heavily upon the applications, services and data contained within a data center, making it a focal point and critical asset for everyday operations.
