Extended Network
Rave Review Web Hosting recognizes that down time is not an option for your servers. We have committed a substantial investment in hardware and facilities ensures you are up and running on the web 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Uninterruptible Power System
To guard against local power failures, our servers utilize state-of-the-art redundant systems, backup generators, maintaining uninterrupted power in case of surges or power outages. With these backup systems in place, we can keep our network up and running indefinitely without relying on external power.

Force Filtered Cooling
All web servers are equipped with a positive pressure filtered-air system. Four large fans pull filtered air into each server's protective case and fans which circulate this purified air-cool the components within. This constant introduction of clean air into the case creates a positive pressure environment ensuring dust and particles remain outside of the server.

Hot Swap Drives
The drives and drive bays of all servers are constructed from high-grade aluminum, and rest in shock mounted drive cages, which adds to the durability of the hardware. Our drives proudly feature the lowest failure rate in the industry.

Redundant Hot Swap Power Supplies
Each server employs dual-redundant hot swap power supplies. If a power supply were to fail, the server would continue running with power from the alternate supply. Meanwhile, alarms would alert a technician, who would quickly restore redundancy. In the meantime, servers and client sites would experience no downtime.

Industrial-Grade Air Conditioners
Our Network Operations Center has industrial air conditioners, which condition our computer rooms and operations center. Our computer room is kept at an optimal temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

Standby Servers
We keep spare servers on-line of all CPU configurations. If a server were to experience a hardware failure, we would turn a key, grab the handle on the drive, pull it out, and insert it into an identical standby CPU. We would then reboot the second machine and the server would be up and running again in a matter of minutes.

Network Redundancy
All of our server packages include very generous amounts of bandwidth -- you get at least 100 GB of transfer where other companies only give you 20 or 30. Our servers sit on a Gigabit ring to Level 3/Genuity, and peer through a Worlcom circuit to ISP.net/FastMetrics and WilTel. Our facility has multiple connections to the Internet backbone.

Raw Performance Equals Low Latency/High Throughput
Too often providers operate their networks at three to four times responsible capacity. As a result, their corresponding transfer times reach over 300ms. Our network daily average is 27% of its capacity, with midday peak spikes reaching only 33% capacity. We guarantee you will be carried off our network in less than 80ms over a five-minute average at any time of day or night.
