and Server Setups
TMXhost servers are now located in a new private facility in Los Angeles.
Unlike most hosts, we have actual physical access to all servers and networking equipment that we manage. In our Los Angeles facility, we have multiple gigabit connections to our upstream providers to ensure rock solid network stability and capacity.
We operate out of one of the largest carrier hotels in the world. They have every major bandwidth player in the facility, and it's like a buffet line, where we can pick and choose who we want to use. We have a cage on the 11th floor which is 11x14 and holds up to 10 cabinets. We have 1 networking cabinet, which is where all of the data goes in/out from.
We get our IP transit from 2 cisco 12008 GSR's which are connected via multiple gigabit fiber uplinks to our distribution switches (2 cisco 2948G-L3's). Each cabinet is prewired and connected to our main distribution cabinet so it's plug and play. Each cabinet has it's own switch, we prefer a layer 2 switch in each cabinet. All of our servers are hooked up to APC remote reboot ports in the event that they lockup for any reason.
We have 24/7 access to our private facility via keycard access. You cannot get into the elevator of the building without passing security. The elevator is key card activated too, so if your card isn't scanned, you can't go anywhere.
