What US Datacenters Are Tier IV (Tier 4)?
Aug 28, 2008I've recently been having a few discussions with potential clients that are very interested in hosting only in Tier IV datacenters, as they see that as an arbitrary 'standard for greatness'. I'm referring to the data center tier levels as laid out here
[url]
Our datacenters are between Tier III and Tier IV; the Tier III aspects are there because of concious decisions on our part in fact. In talking with others I've been told that Tier IV datacenters are rare but I've not be able to find any myself. I think it's more difficult because I don't really trust what technicians from other companies say - they may mistakenly believe they're Tier IV when they're not - so the question is, does anyone know for certain what datacenters in the US are classified as Tier IV?
Tier I Vs. Tier IV
Oct 12, 2007I've been doing some research about Tier I vs. Tier IV datacenters, and generally understand that Tier IV is preferred over Tier I. However, in searching for new webhosts, I've noticed how some hosts brag about their Tier I network/bandwidth/connectivity/etc. So... am I to understand that Tier I bandwidth (etc.) is different from a Tier IV datacenter? If you were opting for uptime/reliability (rather than tons of ridiculous bandwidth and space), what combination of bandwidth/datacenter/etc. would you go for?

May 28, 2009Who defines Tier 1 provider definition?
I am seeing multiple definitions and seeing various posters argue and make claims against Tier 1 and who is/who is not and how many total, etc.. I do not think that there is consensus out there. Personally, I see more than 7 Tier 1 providers and know several other very good Tier 2 or Tier 1b providers.
Many on WHT claim that there are only 6 major Tier 1 providers, but I recently had a CTO who has been in the business since 1996 tell me directly that there are 9 Tier 1 providers. I know that some providers themselves claim to be Tier 1, but many of us “know” that they are not really Tier 1.
So, who are the best Tier 1 providers out there?
Who are the best Tier2 or non-Tier 1 providers?
Who are the best providers to/in Europe? …South America?

How Can I Verify My Dedicated Server Architecture
Jan 14, 2009if there was a way of remotely verifying my dedicated server architecture.
The hosting is done through our design company who then use a 3rd party for hosting a number of sites, and as such I don't have direct access to server control panels etc.
Short of just taking their word for the fact that we have the servers we're supposed to, I was wondering if there's any way I can be sure. We're supposed to have dual web servers plus a database server.
Architecture For An Image Hosting Server
Nov 17, 2008I own a social network generating over 50 million page views a month. Currently, I use only one massive server. I want to add in a new server just for image serving, as my current server is killing me with high bandwidth costs.
Server A runs the website and the logic
Server B runs runs the images
What would be a good architecture between the two servers, given that they ARE NOT IN THE SAME hosting infrastructure (SoftLayer is not a great option if you want alot of bandwidth)
If a user changes his photo on Server A which runs the site, somehow Server B must be notified and gets a hold of the new image..... what would be the most technically feasible and optimum way to achieve this?
Architecture For Shared Hosting Servers Cluster
Apr 11, 2008I am planning for an architecture for the cluster of shared hosting servers. I intend to run around 10000 websites initially on Linux as well as Windows servers. I am planning for a load balanced setup and failover cluster with SAN or a similar storage solution where all the data will be stored. I am looking for suggestions on the best possible architecture which can accomodate all the above things. Also I need to know what are the best options available for load balancers and clusters.
