We use a wide range of servers on our hosting platform from AMD and Intel. All our servers are monitored and managed by our self's. We don't use any third parties for admin on our servers.

Our platform is designed as singe use servers, We don't use shared processors running various disk arrays as if one drive fails it causes issues on the other drives. Each of our servers has various size hard drives in for primary use and then also we have dedicated backup hard drives in each server that all data is backed up to each night so in the event of a primary hard drive failure we can restore all data and accounts by the click of a few buttons.

All our servers are placed on our network using a full duplex 100Mbit port, This means plenty of internet connectivity is available for each server when its needed. Some high use websites demand alot of internet connectivity at times so our network has the capability to deal with the demand.

100% Cisco Gigabit Network

Eclipse 2000 Hosting's network operates on industry leading network equipment from Cisco Systems, all our switches and routers are developed by Cisco. Our network is based on gigabit technology which means that it runs at a speed of 1000 Mb per second, most web hosting networks are limited to 100 Mb per second.

Our network also utilise's 100% CAT6 network cable, CAT6 cable contains four pairs of copper wire and unlike CAT5, utilise's all four pairs. CAT6 supports Gigabit (1000 Mbps) Ethernet and supports communications at more than twice the speed of CAT5e, the other popular standard for Gigabit Ethernet cabling

Connectivity

Eclipse 2000 Hosting operates a multi-homed network utilising BGP4 technology, simply put we have multiple connections to the Internet with different backbone providers, should any connection fail our other connections automatically take all the traffic. Not only does this mean that we are very unlikely to lose connectivity to the Internet but it also means that traffic moving to and from our network can choose from a range of paths to get to its final destination, this means that we have been able to configure the network to always take the fastest paths. A list of the current backbone providers we currently use is below.

Current capacity from all providers is 81Gbps
