Infrastructure
Silicon House servers
run in our Fully
Automated Virtual Data
Center. Our virtual data
center is spread over
US, UK, Canada and
India. This allows us to
offers more stable and
reliable hosting
services with zero risk.
Multiple bandwidth
backbones such as Verio,
Time-Warner, Sprint,
British Telecom provide
a redundant network
availability.
Apart from these Tier-1
operators, we have
peering partners who
help is reducing latency
thus making your servers
available with same
speed around the world.
Our 10 GB / OC 192
network architecture
guarantees 100%
uninterrupted transit to
the internet. Our
networks are powered by
CISCO's Hot Standby
Router Protocol with
minimal latency and no
single point failure.

All our locations
have;
1. Multi-operators
Bandwidth Termination
2. Fully environment
control systems
3. Grid / Backup Power
Systems [ N+1 power
generator architecture ]
4. Peering to other
third party networks for
reducing latency
5. 24 X 7 Staffing
6. Leibert HVAC
redundant architecture
with overhead air
distribution makes sure
that your equipment is
always operating at
optimum temperatures.
7. VESDA smoke
detection, double-action
dry pipe fire
suppression modules
prevent emergencies
before they start.
8. Preventive
maintenance, performed
regularly which meets or
exceeds manufacturers
recommended practices.

DOS Shields
Robust DOS shields prevent our networks from Denial Of Service Attacks. All our
servers are installed with ON ACCESS & ON DEMAND virus scanners. The systems are
regularly updated with Software updates. All our servers are DELL, HP, IBM
systems which allows us for a high degree of performance and in case of hardware
interruptions, the necessary hardware is replaced in shortest possible time.
This is due to our partnership or special arrangements with these software or
hardware vendors.
Intrusion Detection System
YBOX Shield, industry's most comprehensive intrusion detection and prevention
shield works in tandem with our DOS shields. YBOX Servers comes with
pre-installed security components which makes it more secure and stable. Every
server has firewall and brute force system which counters any attempt that is
made in your server.
PCI Scans
YBOX Servers are scanned regularly using PCI compliant control scans. It scans
for more than 14000 vulnerabilities and provides a complete audit on our network
environment. This is done regularly to meet high standards of PCI and to safe
guard your web presence. The Risks are classified as Urgent, Critical, High,
Medium and Low. Based on the severity the risks are mitigated immediately.
YBOX Servers are hosted in Fully Automated Virtual Data
Centers with unmatched network speed and capacity, which eliminates bandwidth
traffic jams. Multiple bandwidth backbones such as AT&T, NTT, Verio,
Time-Warner, Sprint, British Telecom By using multiple Tier 1 telecom providers
along with numerous private peering arrangements, more than 170 Gbps of transit
and peering capacity is available at any point of time.
Fully redundant network architecture with no single points of failure, More than
170 Gbps network bandwidth capacity and Maintenance / support contracts with all
of our vendors, along with third party consultants, ensure constant uptime and
availability.
Master Control Facility
Our Master Control Facility monitors key parameters of our virtual datacenter
such as VLAN, Server Environment, Network continuously. Over 300 samples of data
are taken and any given working time. These are continuously analyzed and any
deviated is escalated with proper escalation procedure in place.
All our network, system administrators and support staff are well
trained and experienced in running networks that handle thousands of servers and
network devices. Minimum qualifications are Engineering / Masters in Systems
Integration / Computers with proper certification in respective fields. A
thorough back ground check is conducted before recruitment.
Apart from software / hardware vendor based certification, YBOX certifications,
one of the most rigorous method in training and evaluation in hosting industry
also becomes a basis for assigning roles. YBOX certifications are hosting /
datacenter industry specific and hence assures the exact industrial requirement
to handle the assigned role from day 1.
The entire team is based on a Cellular Hierarchy to deliver faster solutions
avoiding delays in decision making. The entire team is well trained by in-house
experts as well as major network / hardware / software vendors. This allows us
to provide quicker solutions rather than trial and error methods.
Master Control Facility
Our Master Control Facility monitors key parameters of our virtual datacenter

The Master Control Facility is operation 24 X7, 365 days. It is secured by
latest access control systems and have stringent security norms with live
facility monitoring, access control system etc.
Apart from the Master Control Facility, we also have dedicated staff at each
VLAN location assisting in day to day operations.
