Fast Internet Connections
A single T3 connection is more than enough bandwidth
for most hosting providers. SCANMASTER's data center
is connected to the Internet through 2 OC-3's, 3 DS-3's
and multiple OC-12's. All connectivity is provided via
a tier one backbone. Additional redundancy and diversity
is gained from dual building entry points and multi-homed
central office provisioning. We use high performance
Cisco 7505
Routers and Cisco Catalyst 5000 switches to route data through our network.
Our systems continuously monitor backbone performance
and automatically send IP traffic down the shortest
path using the Cisco BGP4 protocol.
High Performace Servers
SCANMASTER uses dozens of high performance, multi-processor
Silicon Graphics Origin200TM Servers running
the IRIX operating system and Apache
Web Server software for the ultimate in speed and reliability.
Our servers serve over 20,000,000 hits a day!
 Reliable
Back-up Systems
We take extra steps to ensure the reliability
of our service. Our systems are protected with dual
300KVA Liebert UPS battery back-up and a diesel backup
1.25 Megawatt power generator to keep us up and running
in the event of a power failure. A 40 TB (terabyte)
robotic archival system by Storage Technologies
provides daily back-ups of customer data.
