San Diego,
California - May 25, 2005 - A 12-hour power outage could mean hundreds of lost
sales to a Web-based business, but to a company responsible for
keeping hundreds of thousands of Web businesses online, it could
be a major catastrophe. San Diego Web hosting firm Aplus.Net recently
survived this challenge and managed to keep every one of its 350,000
customers online.
When the local power company needed
to cut the main power to perform preventative maintenance, the Aplus.Net
data center was powered by an Uninterrupted Power Supply and a diesel
generator from roughly 10:40pm on May 20 until 10:30am the next day.
Aplus.Net’s services were uninterrupted, and not a single customer
noticed any difference in service.
“There were no surprises because
we are always prepared for this sort of things,” said Ivan
Vachovsky, CEO of Aplus.Net. “Our subsystems and the backup
generator in our data center are routinely tested and kept in top
working order.”
In the event of an unplanned, city-wide
power outage, Aplus.Net’s data center would be unaffected,
since their power systems are housed on San Diego’s military power grid. Beyond that, the data center’s
Uninterrupted Power Supply and diesel generator can supply enough
power to run the entire facility for 36 hours without refueling,
and much longer with scheduled refueling.
“Insured-power is a great benefit
of Aplus.Net’s services and operations, and one of the many
reasons people choose to host their websites and dedicated servers
with us,” said Vachovsky.
