Desert Bloom Productions does NOT offer the cheapest hosting solutions on the planet. In fact, Desert Bloom does not offer a single, stand-alone hosting solution at all. Rather, siteHOST is packaged with a robust solution called AMS (Administration, Maintenance, & Serving). What if Desert Bloom DID offer a pure hosting solution? Would it then be the cheapest on the planet? Absolutely not.
Why?
Reason #1: Desert Bloom Does Not Use "Server Farms"
While packing 300-500 web sites onto a single server would save a significant amount of money, it would severely negate the server’s performance. Desert Bloom guarantees transfer speeds of T-1 or faster; the only way to do that is by maintaining a minimal number of web sites on each server.
Reason #2: Desert Bloom’s Servers Are Top-of-the-Line
Technology: IBM's
xSeries
Servers
Windows Server 2003
Red Hat's Enterprise Linux
Netscreen Firewall Appliances
Foundary Server Iron Load Balancing
Reason #3: Desert Bloom’s Infrastructure Is State-of-the-Art
Desert Bloom is part of the most state-of-the-art data center in the business:
- Facility Exterior: 10,000 square foot, raised, former-bank, built to withstand flooding and Category 5 storms
- Maximum Security: Microchip Badge entrance, biometric scanning, overhead cameras, security personnel, motion and heat detection devices
- Connectivity: Provided by two separate Local Loop providers, connected to multiple, tier one IP Transit Backbone Providers
- Super NOC: Network Operations Center located in middle of building, utilizing state-of-the-art hardware and software. Constant network monitoring ensures that there is always a 2-to-1 ratio of available bandwidth to peak bandwidth
- Fiber Core: Desert Bloom’s data center is located directly on multiple diverse fiber rings, and is redundantly connected to IP carriers by two separate local providers
- Gigabit Fiber Cabling: Multiple Gigabit Ethernet connections travel via diverse entries, diverse paths, and diverse POPs to three of the world’s largest IP transit carriers, Qwest, Williams, and Cogent
- Diesel Generator: The 1.5 megawatt Onan Generator can supply the required electrical power to the entire complex.
