Centersquare / USA

Back in 2003, ICDSoft expanded its international server network to the Centersquare Technologies data center in Boston, USA (formerly CenturyLink Technology Solutions). We are proud to offer our clients access through one of the world's largest IP backbones with a single autonomous system (AS) number: by minimizing 'hops' between parts of the Internet, faster, more reliable performance is delivered, and user data is given a more direct route to its destination.

Centersquare Technologies is an operator that combines a carrier-class Tier 1 international IP network, independently tested as offering best-in-class reliability and performance, and a content distribution network, bypassing Internet congestion to deliver sought-after content at high speeds.

IP Network

Centersquare uses Lumen's and Cogent's IP networks that provide low-latency, secure, reliable, and high-availability connectivity between geographically spread out locations. Cross connects to their Global Tier 1 backbone and a broad range of carriers, including global and regional providers, ensure information reaches its destination, wherever that may be.

Production Servers

Our servers are specially designed for our hosting environment. Built with the most reliable server components, they are equipped with 18-core Xeon Gold processors, up to 1024 GB RAM, RAID 6 disk arrays, and SSDs for the most I/O-intensive operations. The hot-swap HDDs, power supply units, and cooling fans allow repairs or replacement of these components while the machine stays online. This design brings the hardware reliability to the highest level.

Spare Servers

We keep a spare/standby server in each server rack. If a production server fails, it will be immediately replaced by a spare server, and the latest backup will be restored. This way ICDSoft can offer you a 99.9% uptime guarantee.
