Jadu offer a complete managed hosted service, enabling a higher degree of intensive support and high-end server infrastructure with unparalleled service and resilience through our hosting partners Rackspace.Installations exist on shared architectures and dedicated architectures ranging from a single server to clustered web servers with attached clustered database servers.
Jadu's managed hosting services deliver a much higher level of care and support than non-hosted systems, allowing Jadu engineers direct access to servers and support for both software and hardware environments on a 24/7 basis.Jadu hosted customers also benefit from the substantial investments in security, with hardware and 24/7 human managed Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and proactive monitoring of server performance.

The
Jadu managed network at Rackspace has been engineered from the ground
up to accommodate the high availability demands of outsourced solutions.
The network capacity is currently at 6.3 Gbps aggregate bandwidth.
Connectivity
An
entirely switched network employs Cisco 6500 chassis based switches
running HSRP (N+1 hot failover) to ensure that data can be routed even
in the event of device or link failure. Internet connectivity is
provided via multiple links to Tier 1 bandwidth providers which, coupled
with Cisco powered infrastructure, enables 100% network availability
maintenance.
BGP4 Routing
The
Jadu network runs the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP4) for best case
routing. Each packet is evaluated and sent over the best route possible
and through redundant network architecture, packets may be sent via
alternative routes even if they are being delivered to the same end
user.In
the event of a network provider failure, packets leaving the network
are automatically redirected through another route via a different
provider.
Guaranteed packet delivery
To
ensure network integrity, Jadu and Rackspace have put Service Level
Agreements in place with various bandwidth suppliers, guaranteeing that
all packets will leave the network at full speed therefore avoiding the
typical peering arrangements where no one is accountable for lost
packets at congested exchange points.
Bandwidth utilization
The
Jadu managed network at Rackspace is running at approximately 20%
capacity at peak times, allowing accommodation of even the largest
spikes in traffic. Additional network capacity management mitigates
against network degradation, even in the event of an outage from a
network provider.

Premium Virtualized Environments
With
a virtual infrastructure, you can reduce redundant resources without
compromising performance. Unlike typical hosting structures, a
virtualized environment provides flexibility to add or remove services
depending on the requirements dictated by your business.
Virtualization enables your organization to extend recovery capabilities beyond systems that have been historically viewed as the most critical, enabling support for servers that may have been under-protected or vulnerable in the past.
Load balanced clusters can increase both performance and resilience while, if they are of an adequate size and configuration, can remove the threat of a single point of failure.
