Dedicated Virtual Servers PBC Virtual Dedicated Servers combine the power and flexibility of a dedicated server with the cost savings of shared hosting. You get the best of both worlds; your own server, without the expense. A Virtual Dedicated server gives you complete access of your own Windows or Linux installation. Your server runs alongside a number of others running on the same hardware but looks, acts and behaves just like a physical dedicated server. It begins with a default installation of software and services including an operating system (Windows or Linux), and with the help of our technical team, you can then log into your server and configure whichever services yours users require. PBC Virtual Dedicated Server Solution is perfect for new projects, transactional websites and proprietary applications. You get to manage your budgets and still get the highest level of security, availability and quality of service in the marketplace. The difference between PBC and its competitors is that we are the unique owner of our own Network Infrastructure, including redundant network, Network Operation Center and datacenters. Most competitors rely on third party suppliers and thus have less control over the service they are providing you. With a PBC Virtual Dedicated Server in our State-of-the-Art datacenters, you ensure that your data is hosted in a safe and ultraredundant environment, available 24/7. PBC s infrastructures are amongst the safest and most robust IT infrastructures in the North-East, both from a physical and logical standpoint.

Our Datacenters When it comes to protecting our client s systems and data, we do not compromise. Our partner s infrastructures are amongst the safest IT infrastructures, both from a physical and logical standpoint. Physical Security Discretely located in the North of New York State and thus outside large Metropolitan areas for added security, our facilities were originally built as treatment centers for major banks. As a result, the buildings are completely self sustained and can keep operating through month-long power outages and even a Tier1 Internet provider failure. Our redundant datacenters are also fully independent and serves as additional layers of redundancy that allows us to continue operating even in the improbable event where our primary facilities were to experience failure. To achieve this very high level of resiliency, our infrastructures are equipped with: Electrical Specifications Electric Capacity of 8,000 KVA/600 volts/3 phase Two Caterpillar diesel generators of 3,000KVA, 1.5 Megawatts with maintenance contract Two UPS systems of 1,000KVA each with maintenance contract Security Access management through card access systems Biometrics controlled access Over 20 live cameras with motion detection Monitored alarm system Connectivity Multiple BGP-Redundant fiber optic links to the internet through multiple Tier1 providers Dedicated fiber optic links between all our datacenters Environment Management Pre-Action Sprinkler system and Halon fire suppression systems Cooling and humidity controlled by 9 Liebert units with a total of 146 tons Temperature, humidity and liquid detectors Centralized management of all HVAC, exhaust, Liebert, humidity, temperature, diesel, electrical distribution, air compressors, lighting, air temperature and Halon Logical / IT Security The physical security aspect would be meaningless without a strong, secure and redundant IT network. Our Networking infrastructure consists of: A full-fledged Network Operation Center (NOC) to control every aspect of the network A 24/7 monitoring system, listening in on all incoming and outgoing traffic in real-time Highly secure, resilient and redundant firewalls to prevent any serious outside attacks
Backups Backups are done every night on all of our servers, and the backup data is sent to our redundant datacenter for an additional layer of redundancy and security. In addition, PBC s partners maintain living quarters for their senior system administrators minutes away from their facilities, in order for them to have quick access to the Operation Center in case of an emergency. Enterprise-class technology and uptime Very few companies possess the in-house qualified staff or enterprise-grade infrastructure to prevent downtime. In fact, around 70 per cent of businesses suffer downtime of some kind each year, which conservatively costs an average of $42,000 per hour, according to Gartner Research. With redundant power, cooling and Internet connectivity, plus clustered servers and SAN for storage, our Hosted Solutions guarantee an outstanding 99.99% uptime. PBC technicians are also focused on keeping specific servers running 24x7, rather than working on a range IT hardware and software. As a result, they can guarantee the reliability your company deserves.
