Everything you see or access on the Internet is very well stored on highly powerful and secure machines, the famous servers.
This equipment is on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This is so that websites and applications don’t go down and you can access them at any time and from anywhere.
For servers to work properly, they need to be located in SUPER secure datacenters.
These sites need to have very specific characteristics in order to support a very complex system. Check it out:
Link redundancy:
The link maintains communication between the datacenter and the internet.
It is very important for the datacenter to have a second link in case the main one fails.
With more than one link, you can load balance so as not to overload the main link.
Power redundancy:
The world may stop, but datacenters have to keep working.
In the event of a power outage, the diesel-powered generator takes over the supply until the power comes back on.
All this so that the datacenter can continue to operate.
Security:
Access to the datacenter is highly controlled, even for employees access to the machines is restricted, only employees who work directly with the machines have this access.
There is a powerful electronic and physical security system (24/7) and camera monitoring.
A team of professionals works around the clock to block any hacking attempt.
Refrigeration redundancy:
The air conditioning needs to be very powerful, there are many servers in the room that can’t overheat.
The room needs to be at a temperature of between 18º and 21º, and there needs to be strict humidity and temperature control for the machines to work perfectly.
Data redundancy:
All the data is mirrored, so in the event of any kind of problem, the data is saved.
Everything in the datacenter has redundancy, meaning that everything has another way of doing things, even if the main one has a problem.
It is a very complex structure so that the datacenter is always operational and its services are always available.
