InFX go from firewalls and intrusion detection to multi-core network security appliances

1,000,000 unwanted emails and hack attempts in 4 days, ALL stopped, does your ISP? InFX Solutions have deployed their latest green Webserver(1) and a Network Security Appliance(2) to go in front of their state-of-the-art network.

InFX run their own high capacity multi-core servers from a major London Data Centre each has a unique purpose - creating an incredibly stable distributed hosting solution. Remember, we do not 'just host', our state-of-the-art network is part, the heart, of our incredible Website Solutions.

(1) Environmentally friendly hosting is achieved by maximising power usage against webserver performance and capability. Our new ultra fast server is a 3U unit with 32Gb 128bit Ram, 2 Quadcore Opteron HE processors and six 15k SAS drives in RAID 6 configuration.

(2) On top of the many firewalls and brute force (intrusion) detection systems we have deployed and developed; our new NSA has already blocked over 1,000,000 'dodgy' connections most of which would have tried to deliver spam email into our network, to our clients. The effect has been a dramatic drop in server loads due to a huge reduction in the volume of spam getting into our network.

Perfect customer service

It's not often that a supplier really surprises you... But that is exactly what happened to us with AMD. We are currently expanding and upgrading our server hardware platform in London and brought new processors (like brains) from AMDs latest high spec 'Shanghai' generation (AMD are a competitor to Intel).

Unfortunately we didnt have confirmation that our new processors dont work in our servers until the bios has been 'flashed'. We gave AMD Technical Support in the UK a call to explain our predicament, and that we had been unable to actually buy an older generation processor to enable us to flash the BIOS in our new server! So chancing our luck we asked, really nicely, if AMD could lend us one and to our very pleasant surprise the customer service team said yes. What a refreshing change! AMD have become our hero organisation hence we thought we'd tell the world! http://www.amd.com/gb-uk/

The new set up means that InFX now uses less power, is 50-100x faster for disc based operations and has double the processor cores for the network (28 cores so far in five physical servers). Faster than any competitive products due to our 'grid/mesh/cloud' like setup. Each Professional eCommerce solution could now receive up to 5 million visitors per day, the power for unprecedented numbers of sales. The latest edition of InFX Pro Marketing and InFX eCommerce are now 100x more capable through optimised hardware and very clever software written by InFX as fast as the best money can buy... Something our present clients really appreciate.

The 120 acre Crowhurst Park Estate, offers a range of luxury pine lodges and holiday homes and a wide range of excellent sporting and recreational facilities. One of the estate's principal features is that it is still privately owned. Since the Simmons family acquired ownership of Crowhurst Park in 1952, emphasis has been placed on attention to detail and a desire to offer guests a great holiday experience. Their success as a principal holiday venue is in no small part due to its status as a privately run holiday park under the personal supervision of the Simmons family.
