and Improvements for Catskill On Line... Recently, Catskill On Line experienced a hard drive failure. While this hard drive contained our main operating system (but no user data such as e-mail or Web sites) we were able to continue to serve our customers without the loss of data and little or no interruption. Unlike other ISPs, Catskill On Line was prepared for this possibility and has systems in place to ensure continued service. After the problem was resolved, we reviewed our existing network and decided to deploy three separate servers. Each has two functions, acting as a primary server for specific tasks and as a backup for certain services. This redundant protection will help to ensure that even with multiple, though doubtful, hard drive failures, Catskill On Line services will continue and your data (i.e. e-mail, Web sites, etc.) will not be lost. We have also doubled our "Up-stream" access capacity (pipes to the Internet) in Monticello and in Delhi. In Monticello, we have chosen a new carrier (AT&T) to provide us with our "Up-stream" access giving us two separate "Up-stream" providers. Finally, Catskill On Line is preparing to become one of the few "Multi-Homed" ISPs in the area. In a few weeks, we will have two completely separate paths to access the Internet, either through AT&T or our existing "Up- stream" provider Applied Theory. Once we are "Multi- Homed", if one of our "Up-stream" providers experience a failure, you will automatically be routed through our other provider. Stay tuned for Things to come...
We at Catskill On Line appreciate your understanding and patience while we work to enhance the services we offer. |
