CS Online's multiple server cluster with failover is designed for two purposes :
The majority of web hosting providers offer a setup with no redundancy. If the server your website
is hosted on fails the end result will be prolonged downtime (hours and even days) until fixed. In
addition, all major server software (web server, email server, database server) are located on the same
server creating a bottleneck that can lead to slow performance. One server carries all the load and if
it fails your website will be offline to visitors until the problem is resolved.
Crystalserver offers a redundant setup that mirrors the live production servers to improve redundancy and help elliminate downtime. All data (web, email, database) are mirrored in real-time and in the event of a server failure our failover application will route all website traffic to the available server keeping your website online until the problem is resolved. This technology is so advanced the total time to failover to the backup mirrors is nearly instant, taking no more than 60 seconds.
We strive to provide the most reliable network by utilizing the best equipment. Our enterprise class servers are housed in the NAC, AtlantaNAP, BlueSquare, and Qala datacenters with fully redundant multiple tier one internet backbone providers.
Our servers run dual dual/quad core Intel Xeon CPU's with 2-4 gigs of ram and raid protected SATA II drives. We exclusively use the Linux CentOS operating system since it provides a reliable and robust platform for web hosting environments.
