Since its inception in 1996, Digital Tsunami has operated and administered its' own webservers and mail servers.
In the intervening years, Digital Tsunami has hosted many hundreds of domains for clients around the globe, and its' mailservers have managed hundreds of millions of email messages. However, to serve clients most effectively, there is a constant monitoring and reviewing of hosting infrastructure to ensure that loading speed and server reliability are maximised. Cloud computing technology delivers more robust, scalable and faster hosting solutions, so Digital Tsunami has embraced this proven innovative technology.
Cloud hosting is a term for distributed computing, where a 'super and virtual computer', is comprised of a cluster of networked, loosely coupled computers acting in concert to perform very large tasks. Virtual servers are dynamically scalable and agile, enabling upgrading of hardware and software without any interruption to uptime.
Originally based in the USA, Digital Tsunami's dedicated webservers are now located in the
telco grade Data Centre of Global Switch in Sydney, Australia. With comprehensive redundancy across all systems, this Data Centre has extremely high physical access control and network security; 24/7 human, online and telephone support; massive connectivity to the major global Internet backbones via diverse dedicated connections; dedicated mains power, backup power with onsite generator capability for 24 hours on uninterrupted power supply and emergency fuel contracts.
Temperature and humidity are maintained within an appropriate narrow range for optimal server performance; and extensive environmental monitoring is conducted 24/7. Fire detection and suppression systems minimise risk. The burstable network hardware is 100% Cisco and delivers on a 99.9% data service level agreements (SLA).
Dedicated Digital Tsunami webservers (accommodating websites on both Linux and Windows platforms), offer
security and peace of mind, as they have heartbeat moniotoring, automated daily hard drive backups and database snapshots, and offsite weekly backups. This provides high level data protection in the case of unforeseen circumstances or human error in content updating. Load-balanced multiple hard drives (RAID arrays), are configured with massive storage capacity and 4MB RAM to deliver web content rapidly. All accounts are configured with a comprehensive and secure statistics interface for the constant monitoring of visitor traffic and site effectiveness.
As websites become increasingly media-rich (with video and large PDF and image files), and benefit from increased traffic, so the load on webservers increases. Where the demand justifies it, your web content can be delivered via a
content distribution network (CDN) with an extensive international peering network, which connects through 1,000 ISPs around the globe, via 18 data centres, in Amsterdam, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, San Jose, Seattle Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo and Washington.

co-location can benefit your business.
The increasing objective for all websites is to build targeted traffic and convert prospects into sales.
