ANI IS ALL IBM!

All Night I.T. is powered by 8 IBM xSeries Servers that perform all of the necessary duries to efficiently run our company's hosting environment.  We take pride in our operation which is why we chose the most stable, reliable IBM servers to get the job done.

 Traditionally when you hear the word "server" you think of a large mainframe type machine that is stored in huge warehouses nobody has ever seen before. In the computer industry today the word is used to specify a particular role in a long chain of different responsiblities that make up the Internet and many networks across the world.

Technically it's a computer that is responsible for the "Serving" end of a Client/Server relationship. The client, typically, is your computer or laptop locate at home or at the office.

 We have 2 IBM xSeries 345 Servers. One of these is used as our primary live webserver running Apache on Linux Fedora Core 8. The second 345 server is used as our primary database server and also serves as the redundancy for the webserver. Each of these servers has multiple hard drives working together to form several layers of redundancy and backup.

Currently we have 6 IBM xSeries 305 Servers. These are used for backups, redundancy, dedicated access, Windows Hosting, Mail Server Exchanges, Virtual Backups and more. They are identical machines housed in a 1 inch form factor server case. These are designed for space and performance each having 1 CPU, 1GB or RAM and a minimum footprint so they take up little space in the collocation facility. Redundant as always, they each have 2 40GB hard drives in a RAID, 1 mirroring data to both drives simultaneously.
