Hardware And System Programming Details
Dedicated Server
We provide dedicated servers located at our facility that will handle your present performance requirements. The price of the servers are included in the monthly maintenance charge.
As your company grows and requires more performance we can install additional servers to the load balanced and mirrored database as required. The only cost to you is US$350.00 per server per month for the server and connection to the Internet.
Out configuration allows for servers to be added to the load balance and mirrored database capabilities no matter where in the world you would like to add an additional server or servers. We will install and maintain the remote servers. The additional cost is US$300.00 per month per server. Your company must supply the connection to the Internet for these servers.
We can install a backup server located at your company. This backup the server will take over if the primary server fails and in addition it is capable of running off line which allows your company to keep working if the local Internet goes down. The cost for the additional server is US$300.00 per month per server. You must supply the connection to the Internet for these servers.
The servers are load balanced together and their databases are mirrored.
The servers share the performance requirements and if one server fails the other automatically takes over. When the failed server is put back on-line it automatically reconciles the data from the server that did not fail.
Our dedicated servers are connected directly to the Internet backbone network. The connection to the Internet provides unlimited usage so there is never a usage charge for connection or usage of the Internet.
The facilities/rules where our dedicated servers are located have the following characteristics:
- No installation/start-up/discontinue/maintenance fees.
- Secure Facilities.

Client Terminals (Remote and Local)
We recommend a DSL connection, if it is available for your remote and local terminals.
