Where a customer wishes to provide and manage their own server, Multibase provides colocated hosting in its specialist hosting environment located at Fujitsu Australia’s Internet Data Centre in North
Ryde, NSW. Colocation provides increased performance, privacy and security compared with shared hosting. It is appropriate where the customer requires and has the resources to maintain control over its server.
Multibase maintains the network connection, security and power management for the locker and building, and the customer provides and manages the hardware and software
including operating system updates. As with all customers, our highly skilled, broad-ranging technical and customer service staff care about your Internet project and provide personal service and support.
Co-location hosting with Multibase provides:
 Security
The hosting environment is protected in a fully integrated building management system. Strict access protocols, 24 hour security guards, CCTV and biometric hand readers
protect the data centre from unauthorised access. The Multibase environment is located in a locked cage within the data centre and is only accessible to a limited number of authorised Multibase personnel.
Internet bandwidth
The hosting environment provides a high-speed, guaranteed bandwidth, local area network connection to the Internet. Broadband Internet access is provided by a fully
redundant meshed carrier class network and four telecommunications providers. Multibase’s current dedicated upstream Internet connection is 10 megabits, which is
underloaded for existing requirements. This can burst to 150 megabits.
Data traffic
To reduce data traffic surprises, we calculate data traffic on a rolling 12 month average. Reasonable use provisions apply.
Power
The facility provides Multibase with redundant power to its network, with generators, UPS and other power management tools to filter power irregularities. Multibase staff have
remote access to remote power monitoring and management, including restarts, for after hours and remote management.
Monitoring
Servers are monitored using the industry-standard What’s Up? Gold, which is accessible both during business hours and remotely by Multibase staff. Specific customer services
can also be added to the monitoring system if required, as can remote notifications by SMS or other means in the case of failure reports. Multibase’s office is located only a few
blocks from the data centre, so personal attendance at the data centre by our staff can be organised readily during business hours. The centre is also accessible to Multibase staff around the clock.
Border security
Multibase manages its own firewall systems, with a redundant warm-swappable replacement available. Network access rules are very tight, for example telnet is not
allowed to any server and FTP is severely restricted since both these provide significant security risks. Multibase’s network is protected with industry-standard software. If
required, we can implement specific rules for the server in the firewall e.g. if SMTP is not required, we can institute a rule to drop all attempts to use for mail, or we can log specific
events as required. Our servers are monitored daily by external consultants, who apply appropriate patches and upgrades as recommended by vendors.
Skilled technical support
While server and software maintenance on a colocated server is the customer’s responsibility, Multibase technical staff have wide experience which is readily available.
