The NOAH Hosting Center is dedicated to NOAH users. The overall center is operated by Qwest and is located at the mid-East node of the Internet.
It is also the home of corporate America and is the largest Federal Government hosting site. It is the size of two football fields and has more than 15 huge diesel generators for stand-by power.
NOAH enjoys an area of the floor where the NOAH Web farm is configured with a layer of Web multiplexors capable of managing three million simultaneous connections and 50,000 new connections per second. The multiplexors listen to the heart beat of each Web site and can re-route traffic in milliseconds when a site gets in trouble on any of the Web servers. There are terabytes of disk storage available, four layered commercial-grade hardware firewalls and a 24/7 technical staff.
Every component from the Internet connection down to the batteries is redundant so there is no single point of failure. With a bandwidth of 64 T-1 lines, capacity is virtually unlimited. |
