All Night I.T. website hosting is powered by 7 IBM xSeries servers that perform all of the necessary duties to efficiently run our solid, secure hosting environment. We take pride in our operation which is why we chose the most stable, reliable IBM servers to get the job done.

Our OS, of course, is Linux and has been since we began building websites years ago. We are happy to call ourselves "Open Source" and try as much as we can to "pay it forward" by combining the software we already know with changes and updates our customers require to get the most out of any application. However, we do have 2 deployed windows servers for the various ASP.NET and SQL applications.

Our goal is simply to provide super fast website hosting for mission critical web applications that need secured data and files backed up constantly. We achieve this by redefining the term "redundancy" to include more than 3 duplicate file backups at any one time during peak hours...5 backup processes during off peak hours. We have mirrored servers that act in tandum with each other in case of failure or overloading, we can divert traffic to the secondary server and not encounter a single milli-second of downtime...something we don't take lightly.We take snapshots of the database twice daily and keep copies of those for up to 60 days after the date of creation.

Traditionally when you hear the word "server" you think of a large mainframe type machine that is stored in huge warehouses nobody has ever seen before. In the computer industry today the word is used to specify a particular role in a long chain of different responsiblities that make up the Internet and many networks across the world.

Technically it's a computer that is responsible for the "Serving" end of a Client/Server relationship. The client, typically, is your computer or laptop located at home or at the office.

We have 2 IBM xSeries 345 Servers. One of these is used as our primary live webserver running Apache on Linux Fedora Core 8. The second 345 server is used as our primary database server and also serves as the redundancy for the webserver. Each of these servers has multiple hard drives working together to form several layers of redundancy and backup.

Currently we have 6 IBM xSeries 305 Servers. These are used for backups, redundancy, dedicated access, Windows Hosting, Mail Server Exchanges, Virtual Backups and more. They are identical machines housed in a 1 inch form factor server case. These are designed for space and performance each having 1 CPU, 1GB or RAM and a minimum footprint so they take up little space in the collocation facility. Redundant as always, they each have 2 40GB hard drives in a RAID, 1 mirroring data to both drives simultaneously.
