Our Technology

Our Datacenter
AYSEL does not own any datacenter but we have dedicated servers from five different datacenter (most of them are shared with other hosting partners) and none of them are from Sri Lanka. We have our servers up-to-date and our servers are monitored 24/7 by our expert network engineers to ensure maximum security and uptime for our customers' servers. We use best of breed equipment like Dell™ PowerEdge and HP ProLiant™ Servers, Cisco™ & Foundry™ Firewalls, Routers, premium, bandwidth and Cable & Wireless. These centers are designed to stay up and running, protected from power failure, physical intrusion and network outages by extensive back-up power and cooling systems, multi-layered security, and network redundancy and diversity. Our Data Centers are connected to the Internet using the highest performing backbone.

Our Network
Studies have shown that the most common reason for downtime is circuit failure on Tier 1 provider backbones, the major data highways. To guard against this potential problem, we have two Tier-1 providers. If one experiences problems, we can route traffic down another one. Furthermore, because we are OnNet with Level(3) and Qwest, we share their digital distribution architecture, which includes private peering network connections to major Internet carriers such as MCI, Sprint, UUNET, EUNET, AT&T, AOL, Best, Erols, @Home, IBM Advantis and others. These private peering arrangements allow MATRIX WEBHOSTING to quickly and efficiently exchange packets of data with every major backbone carrier in a one-to-one environment.

Our Redundancy


Our Security
Security is provided 24x7 and includes guards, closed-circuit monitors, alarmed doors with secure card-key access, biometric scanner, "man-trap" restricted access to the data floor and options for locking equipment enclosures (cabinets or cages). Guards maintain access to the loading dock and access requires a card key. Security personnel also monitor the building. Building and environmental alarms are monitored 24x7 by our staff and remotely by the Network Operations Center.

Our Power
Our IDCs are designed for 90W/sq ft of conditioned floor space. Most have dual (2N) Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), each with multiple modules synchronized to work in unison or independently. UPS systems receive power from both commercial power feeders and standby generators and are designed to support a fully loaded center for 15 minutes via its internal battery plant.

In case of a commercial power failure, banks of diesel generators in an N+1 design (at full load) provide power to the center within one minute of a commercial power outage. The one-minute gap is covered by the UPS battery system to ensure no impact on equipment. During an extended commercial power outage, the diesel generators provide power using the fuel securely stored on site. Fuel suppliers are on standby to provide additional service.

Our Fire Suppression & Detection
Smoke detection is delivered using state-of-the-art VESDA (air sampling) smoke detection and alarm system. VESDA systems are 100 times more sensitive than conventional fire detection systems. Detectors are grouped into zones. Fire suppression is via a pre-action dry pipe system. Once one or more detectors sense smoke, the fire alarm panel opens the deluge valve to fill the sprinkler piping with water. In case of an actual fire, the seal on the sprinkler head will melt and discharge water on the affected area.

Our Cooling
The IDCs have multiple chillers and Computer Room AC (CRAC) units to provide air conditioning to meet AT&T N+1 redundancy requirements. The CRAC units are strategically located near the racks to deliver temperature and humidity conditioned air to maintain a room temperature in the range of 75°F. Chilled air is distributed via 30 inch raised floor air plenum, which provides maximum flexibility for increased power and cooling requirements.

Our Cable Distribution
The raised floor also houses the under-floor power and low-voltage cable distribution system. This is an extensive network of intra-building cable and wiring that supports both power cables as well as low voltage telco wiring in sub-floor ladder-racking.

Our Multiple Gateway


Our Standby Servers
We keep spare servers online of all CPU configurations. If a server were to experience a hardware failure, we would turn a key, grab the handle on the drive, pull it out and insert it into an identical standby CPU. We would then reboot the second machine, and the server would be up and running again in a matter of minutes.

Server Anti-Virus Protection
As hackers continue to come out with new strains of viruses in attempts to compromise servers, one way to try to stay protected is with anti-virus software. With specific Managed Services Plans, we will install and monitor licensed McAfee or Norton anti-virus tools to help protect your server.
