Convenient Installation. We provide all our clients with Pre-eXecution Environment (PXE) boot to make system installation a breeze. As long as you are connected to the network, you can circumvent normal booting, troubleshoot, use liveOS, and even re-image your machine.
High-availability Clusters. For content-heavy, high-traffic websites and enterprise-class applications, we offer server clustering that will allow your servers to work together, ensuring high performance and high availability.
Private LAN-ready. Each of our servers has two (2) network adapters; combined with the fact that we make sure to reserve an additional switch in our racks, you can easily interconnect servers to create a private LAN.
Affordable Technical Support Packages. Our reliable team of expert system administrators can help you through your set-up and troubleshooting questions through our affordable technical support service packages.
Fully In-house. At Alnitech, we believe in keeping critical business processes in-house. We fully manage our own hardware and technical support departments. Third parties are kept out of our decision-making process to ensure we continuously deliver high standards of service.

Fire Suppression
Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) provides the earliest possible warning of potential fire events by detecting smoke particles at the incipient stage of fire. This allows onsite technicians to respond to the incident and extinguish the fire before it can spread and cause damage.
A state-of-the-art multi-stage sprinkler system is activated by smoke detectors that trigger the building alarm. Sprinkler heads release water to the isolated area only when a specific localized temperature threshold is met.
Security
Armed guards secure the building 24x7x365. Additionally, over 30 cameras monitor all the entrances and every inch of the datacenter floor. Video data is digitally stored offsite for at least 90 days.
