Servers
Server types used for
webhosting can range from an Intel based PC, to Sun Microsystems, with all sorts of different hardware
configurations. Most issues regarding stability are determined at the server level, which integrates tightly with
the Operating System. If you are looking for reliability, this is one of the most important considerations: What
is the server configuration?
Colchis uses Sun Microsystems Enterprise 250 Webservers for all clients. Unlike
many other webhosting
providers who use less stable Intel based webservers for UNIX hosting, Colchis believes
reliability ensures long term profitability not only for clients but
also for Colchis.
Each of Enterprise 250 server has the following specifications:
Dual Sun UltraSparc II 300MHz Processor
1,024 Mb of RAM ( Random Access Memory)
Dual Power Supply
RAID-5 Support
Over 90Gb of data storage
With dual processors, over a Gigabyte of RAM, Colchis can say with high confidence that
Colchis hosted website reside on webservers that are more robust than
virtually any other web
hosting company today. Each webserver costs over $35,000.
The Colchis preference for the Sun Enterprise solution for mission critical websites
is the same as others that also utilize the Enterprise family
of servers, including Amazon.com, eBay, and Charles Schwab.
Since Colchis prefers Sun Enterprise servers, it makes sense that Colchis would
also prefer to use Solaris 7 as our operating system. Solaris 7 is the first
true 64-bit operating system available from Sun Microsystems. All of
the servers used by Colchis are running Solaris 7, October 1998 release. |
