Uptime Guarantee:
Unlike a number of other companies, Apollo has taken a really innovative route to maintain its service reliability. The company has not take services of telecom companies to provide connectivity. Instead Apollo has laid its own cables. They connect the network operations center directly to the Internet backbone.
Basics – What You Need To Know
Apollo hosting runs its own fiber optic lines, which are connected, to backbone providers. The company has connections with almost all major backbone providers in United States and Europe. Multiple lines of redundancy are available to make sure that the service does not suffer any substantial network outage. A number of protection measures are deployed at the NOC as well.
In order to make sure that the systems are operational round the clock, Apollo has also deployed dual redundancy at its NOC for power lines as well. In order to ensure physical security of the network operations center, the company has deployed CCTV and a number of other electronic surveillance measures. While clients are not allowed physical access to the server, they do get full root access.
