Domino Developer Network

INFRASTRUCTURE
To service our world-wide customer base (which today spans over 50 countries) we maintain a physical presence in both North America and Europe. Our datacenters are connected directly to the Internet backbone via fully redundant OC-3 (155Mbps) and OC-192 (5Gbps) fiber and most-importantly our bandwidth is "uncapped" which means there is virtually no limit to the bandwidth available to our systems. Our datacenters feature 24/7/365 network monitoring and on-site security. You can be assured that your data is kept highly available and tightly secured (all systems are located in a privately secured cage or suite within each facility).

As server management and hosting administration experts we leverage only the highest grade datacenters. Our strategy of outsourcing datacenter requirements allows us to leverage state-of-the-art facilities which combined required over US$50 million to build and become operational (compare this to other hosting providers which utilize their own home-grown "budget" datacenters which cannot benefit from the economies of scale achived by much larger datacenters). Your data is hosted on the same networks used by companies such as Ahold, Daimler Chrysler, Ford, Hilton Group and Nissan. This strategy also allows us to be "datacenter neutral" by hosting customer data across geographically diverse facilities (our service options include replicating, mirroring and backup of your data in both the US and Europe). See below for a complete list of datacenter specifications. For more information on our datacenters please contact sales@dominodeveloper.net.
