Network Operations

Sentris’ Network Operations Center is staffed 24x7 by Unix Systems Administrators, Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers, hardware experts, network engineers, programmers, and applications specialists. Our engineers monitor more  than 900 servers, routers, switches and fiber-optic connections within the  primary C I Host Network Operations Center located just inside SDC-01 (Sentris  Data Center 1) in Seattle, Washington.

Sentris has spent 2 years developing custom made monitoring and control software which will alert our NOC engineers by cellular phone, 2-way pager and email whenever a problem is detected by the  auto-scripts. Often, a problem with the Server is corrected within minutes, if not seconds, from the time it occurred. Our proprietary software monitors the  following ports and automatically restarts each service if it is not detected  within 10 seconds: web traffic (port 80), POP3 email (port 110), outgoing email (port 25), telnet (port 23), ftp (port 21), secure server (port 443), real audio (port 8080 and port 7777), and other vital connectivity ports. Every 10 seconds our engineers get print-outs of any ports that did not respond and that could not be restarted automatically.

Sentris has taken every step possible to ensure continued and uninterrupted operation of our servers: multi-homed T-1  and DS-3 connections to diverse backbone providers, diesel-powered generators, redundant UPS systems, and on-hand inventory of hard drives, memory chips,  network cards, motherboards, power supplies, processors, RAM and other hardware components.

You can rest assured that your server is being watched by the  best of the best 24 hours a day.
