When you choose 1 Motive for your web services, you can be sure that you are getting the best in technical infrastructure. Our data centre is located at a state-of-the-art facility in Sydney.

At 1 Motive, we:

• use quality hardware and software including RAID storage devices
• ensure that there is no single point of failure with fully redundant, load-balanced web clusters
• continuously monitoring all systems and servers
• conduct daily back-ups with offsite archives of weekly and monthly backups.

Our data centre maintains the highest level of building security around the clock. The centre's multiple CCTV points, secure entries and exits and limited access areas are all managed by building control staff 24x7.

An optimal operating environment is maintained at all times. The temperature in the technical space stays at 22°C (±2°C), with a humidity range of 50% (±10%).

Fire detection and suppression equipment includes smoke and heat detectors in all areas, dry pipe sprinklers in technical areas, dry risers to all floors and smoke and gas clearance system.

The power supply is provided through a minimum N+1 redundancy; the main power is supplied via two 33kV dedicated incomers, a diverse A&B power supply distributed at 11kV via a rotary UPS and multiple ring main circuits. All power and cooling in the data centre are supported by up to 22 rotary UPS units.

During power outages, there is an onsite diesel power generator (360,000 litre capacity) that can support the centre at full capacity for 24 hours. This is backed up by a 2 hour/24x7 fuel delivery contract.

Our data centre facility features a dedicated 155 MBit STM1 ATM link, and multiple OC3 internet connections with 6MB available PVC for failover.

All 1 Motive services are run on custom built rack mounted web servers.

These are specified to be mission critical machines, scalable to incorporate the use of a RAID disk array. Cisco equipment is used, with full service contracts.

All hosted websites enjoy the benefit of full load balancing across a clustered web server farm, all the data being stored in a RAID array.

Redundancy exists at every level with each point of failure protected by a fully automated fail-over replacement

1 Motive provides a fully automated, password-protected, web-based administration panel that allows you to set up and delete your services in real-time.
