| Performance can be measured many
ways. As the saying goes: there are lies, damn lies
and then there are benchmarks. Benchmarks can be
useful and meaningful, if and only if we understand
what they are measuring and how a computer system
works
In a server, performance is measured as the
time it takes the server to read or write some
external data to or from its data storage medium
or the time it takes to find a given piece of
data in its internal data stores. Performance
can also be measured on a server in transactions
(usually different for each application) per second.
For special cases, like firewalls or routers,
performance is measured by the maximum amount
of network traffic it can move from one input/output
port to another input/output port all the while
filtering or rerouting the data stream. To better
understand the options that effect performance,
we first need to understand what is happening
inside a computer.
The best overall performance of a processor is
achieved by:
 Maximizing
the speed and size of level 1 on-chip cache.
Maximizing
the number of instructions executed in one clock
cycle.
Maximizing
the processor clock speed.
Maximizing
the processor's access to system memory.
Our network architecture utilizes the Enterprise
routing and switching engines from Juniper and
Cisco. We utilize Juniper M20 routers as border
routers, Cisco 6500 series switches in our distribution
layer and Cisco 6500 switches in our aggregation
layers, and Cisco 3500 and 2900 series switches
at the customer layer. Our network is fully meshed
and redundant with 10 backbone providers.
The biggest decision you will make when you put
your business online is which Web Hosting Company
to trust with your web site. The Maximum performance,
availability and success of your web site largely
depends on your provider's expertise, network
infrastructure and service level.
 Intel
& AMD Based Hardware
Our secret for optimal web hosting reliability
and performance is attributed to our extensive
experience in fine tuning our own custom built
servers. Each server is built to suit our requirements
and uses only Intel server-grade CPUs, chipsets
and NICs.
Moreover, our servers are monitored 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week, and are backed up regularly.
