RELIABILITY
Montana Banana servers are monitored 24/7 by a staff of technicians available for trouble-shooting. In the event of server problems, multiple alerts are triggered so that issues can be addressed immediately.
Our server hardware is carefully selected to ensure a standardized and reliable infrastructure. Duplicates of all server hardware are kept on site so that failing hardware can be immediately replaced.
The web servers are all built with RedHat Linux as the operating system, ensuring that our software infrastructure is built on a stable platform of technologies.
SCALABILITY
Our infrastructure is designed to scale along with the growth of our clients' websites.
New servers can be added within a day to accommodate bandwidth spikes.
All systems are standardized so that growth is handled efficiently.
SECURITY
Website data is protected from multiple possible bad scenarios. Backups of web files, data files, and system files are made daily and stored in an off-site facility. In the event of complete server failure, an entirely new server can be restored from these backups.
The physical space where the servers are stored is protected by high security access, advanced fire protection, and robust power supply.
The servers are protected from digital intrusion by multiple layers or filtering to stop denial of service attacks, hackers, and network disruptions.
The servers are continually be updated with the latest security patches from our vendors.
The hosting network is completely built on top of Cisco hardware and is regularly audited by Cisco to ensure proper configuration.
