Glick provides managed hosting solutions for high-traffic websites through it's managed hosting partner, Colocube (www.colocube.com).
Colocube operates an HPC (High Performance Computing) styled data center environment for its customers. Being an HPC data center involves coverage in many key areas, such as Security, Networking, Power, and Cooling.
In today's environment of ever increasing server power loads and cooling requirements, Colocube stands out with its ability to power and cool the equivalent of 17,300w per rack where most data centers struggle to provide 11,500w per rack. This translates into lower costs while providing enterprise level support, as well as the ability to cool very dense web hosting environments. To put it another way, where most providers are constrained to 30 servers in a 42U rack (typical 1U servers), we are able to get an additional 10 servers in each rack with room to spare.
Colocube excels in being able to custom provision from a list of more than 30 providers for our customers. By default, any customer with Colocube is able to take advantage of the 4 top LECs (Sprint, Level 3, Verizon, AT&T) as well as cogent for media services. We can upon demand provision any other LEC or NAP that our customers need by way of the Telx facility (Formerly the PAIX facility) where more than 80 networks converge in the meet-me room (MMR).
While having high performance networking, power, and cooling are important, so too is the ability to stay "online". Colocube provides the following :
