TEK Development

Cisco Powered Network

Every TEK Development server is connected to a 100% Cisco Powered Network. Using enterprise-class Cisco networking gear, all routers, layer-2 switches, and layer-3 switches are tested in labs prior to deployment to ensure stability and interoperability.

Carrier Class

Our facilities are carrier-neutral sites and are built completely on computer-grade raised flooring; it is built for dedicated server hosting with redundant fibre entry points.

Redundant High Bandwidth Connectivity

Using multiple Tier 1 Service Providers, TEK Development guarantees 99.9% uptime, ensuring the highest degree of security against network downtime and the fastest possible data transfers.

Bandwidth Utilization

It is a common misconception that the amounts of bandwidth (size of the pipes that carry the data) differentiate web hosting companies. In reality it is not only the size of the pipes that matters, it is the utilization levels. The utilization of our Internet connections is vital to a network's ability to transfer data without packet loss or latency. Our datacenter aims to keep all connection usage below 50% to avoid any connectivity problems.

Dynamic Routing

Our datacenter runs the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP4) for best case routing. The BGP4 protocol is a standard that allows for the routing of packets of information sent out from our network. Each packet of information is evaluated and sent over the best route possible. Because of our redundant network architecture, packets may be sent via alternative routes even if they are being delivered to the same end user. Should one of our providers fail, packets leaving our network are automatically redirected through another route via a different provider.

Network Security

Our datacenter network is a fully switched network. Traffic destined for a website hosted on a server is sent only through switching equipment necessary to deliver the information to that server. This minimizes the risk of someone sniffing or capturing traffic being sent across the network. Furthermore, TEK Development vigorously prosecutes persons who generate malicious attacks on our internal network.

Datacenter Security

Our datacenters are physically isolated from everyone but level three technicians. Public access is strictly forbidden. Access to the floor the datacenter resides on is restricted and completely locked down.

Power Systems

Our datacenter is not reliant upon the local power grid to guarantee maximum uptime. Our on-site, auto-switched power generator, and centralized UPS systems provide power conditioning and ensure uninterrupted datacenter operation. Additionally, the generators are regularly tested to ensure that it will continue to function in the event of an emergency.

Regulated Climate Control

The datacenter's HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) systems are N+1 redundant. With full particle filtering and humidity control, the environment is maintained at 68 degrees to ensure your servers remain comfortable.

Locations

Currently, our datacenters are located in Virginia; San Antonio, Texas; and Los Angeles, California.
