Flexibility
The Sonic.net Dedicated Linux Server product is perfect for application developers, web developers, web hosting companies, corporations or online gamers looking for complete control over their server environment. Leveraging CentOS's yum features, Sonic.net's dedicated server package helps you to keep your installed software up to date automatically with the latest software and patches. Sonic.net maintains backup hardware for quick replacement of system components.
Administration
All Sonic.net Dedicated Linux Servers provide full administrative control via SSH and Webmin. Dedicated Linux Servers are a Self-Managed service which offers full administrative access. This is important for Web sites built with custom applications that cannot utilize a shared hosting provider.
Monitoring
Our Colocation Web Tools provide host monitoring, security port scanning, and temperature monitoring to provide maximum security and control.
Facilities
Sonic.net, Inc. is one of the largest Internet colocation facilities North of San Francisco offering state-of-the-art facilities and experienced network engineers. Sonic.net is connected via multiple dual-entrance SONET OC-12 fiber rings as well as a gigabit fiber connection from a major metropolitan carrier.
The data center has
redundant power and cooling for safe and efficient operation. The raised
floor environment allows for controlled air flow which guarantees your
equipment the correct operating temperature. The 750KVa diesel generator
will keep the facility powered indefinitely in the event that utility power
fails. Biometric access controls, key card access and video surveillance
ensure a secure, monitored environment.
Sonic.net is connected via multiple dual-entrance SONET OC-12 fiber rings as well as a gigabit fiber connection from a major metropolitan carrier. Upstream bandwidth is routed between multiple Tier 1 and Tier 2 transit providers including UUNet, Cable & Wireless, Layer42 and UnitedLayer as well as multiple peering points within our network. Our providers are served out of three different Sonic.net POP locations in San Francisco and San Jose and are provisioned with different fiber carriers. Our commitment to a solid network infrastructure can be seen in the efforts we have made to provide equipment and carrier redundancy.
Our network is designed so that there is no single point of failure. Multiple backbone routers maintain dual connections to our network core preventing equipment failure from affecting service. Customers can uplink to multiple distribution switches to provide end-to-end path and equipment redundancy.
Cooling and air conditioning is maintained by a Leibert air handling system. Sonic.net's unique cooling management systems allows us to monitor the temperature of each customers cabinet space. Our tools give us a 3-dimensional view of our temperature distribution and allow us to inject more or less cooling to each customer as needed.
Front and rear perforated cabinets provide even air flow across all equipment. Rather than injecting air under each cabinet, our system injects the air in front of the cabinet, allowing equipment and servers to draw air in from the front and expel it out the back as they are designed.
