What about your Network?

What about it? Would you know the difference between T1 and T3? (the answer is 2).

You want Seven Sages to manage your site so you don't have to know all that mumbo-jumbo tech stuff. We don't even know all that tech stuff. We lets experts handle that for us. We are no different from you. We have a business to run, so we let the geeks take care of the tech stuff.

But wait, aren't we the geeks? Yes, and No.

We manage the servers and the software, but we have super-geeks take care of our hardware/networking needs.

As of 2011, ThePlanet was acquired by SoftLayer. Same top-notch, secure data centers, more locations globally.

Dedicated Servers

We currently have our servers at The Planet, which provides excellent reliability and support. They keep the hardware and network going, allowing us to focus on the server software and services for you.

Features of The Planet Data Centers in Houston and Dallas

State-of-the-art N+1 power generator architecture keeps servers running in the event of any generator failure. In an extended power outage, on-site diesel generators can run indefinitely. Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is N+1 redundant with instant failover coverage should the primary UPS fail. HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) systems are N+1 redundant to ensure there is a duplicate system ready to assume the load if the primary system fails. Advanced fire suppression systems keep any fires localized and prevent them from spreading.

Leading the hosting industry in network bandwidth capacity (100 gigabits/sec). Fully Redundant, world-class routing equipment is designed without single points of failure - we have redundant core routers, core distribution switches, and carrier diversity. By peering directly with other providers, we bypass potential congestion points through third party transit providers and provide shorter paths and lower latency to the end users. This results in better performance of your hosted applications. Fully redundant Network Operations Center capabilities from two cities, 24x7x365 monitoring.
