High availability

Web hosting uses an advanced technology that is currently available. All this to be able to offer you the best quality of service.

OVH has set up a stable and reliable infrastructure.

Data

The data storage of your Web space on your sites is done on a high performance NetApp F740 file server (Network Appliance) with dozens of hard drives.

Specialised servers

WEB servers

More than 1,000 servers only dedicated to WEB space work in parallel with redundancy load dispatchers to deal with the queries of your visitors.

Traffic allocation and server redundancy allow an uninterrupted work of servers even in case of simultaneous breakdown of some of them.

There is no break, no slowdown, everything is transparent. Through this system, we can ensure availability of your sites 99.9% of the time. This is what we call high-availability.

Email servers

The same principle of storage and allocation of traffic applies to email servers.

Database servers

MySQL databases are stored on separate servers revered for this purpose.

Every SQL server is a high-availability machine with several RAID-1 hard disks. In case of a hard disk failure the other takes over its function without data loss. The security of your data is the most important issue for us.

Other servers

The same technology is used for servers managing Anonymous FTP space and REAL space used for audio/video streaming.
