Where will your website be hosted?

Your Bloomtools website and your valuable data will be hosted in our secure, state-of-the-art hosting environment. 

Cutting-edge web services demand the very best in technical infrastructure, and that's why all Bloomtool's websites are hosted at a state-of-the-art data centre in Sydney. Utilising the neutral facilities of Australia's largest carrier, Global Switch, Bloomtool's customers are guaranteed the best environment for web hosting, security, and backup systems.

Our quality hardware and software ensures that no single point of failure can crash our system. Our websites are continuously monitored and backed by a tertiary system of stand alone servers which ensure that we have 100% control of the system at all times.

Hosting Environment and Security

Bloomtools security involves four key components, designed to deliver the highest level of security to our customers.

Datacentre Security

• the building maintains a complicated system of fire detection and flame suppression equipment including smoke and heat detectors (which are present in all areas), as well as dry pipe sprinklers in technical areas, dry risers to all floors, and a sophisticated smoke and gas clearance system.
• The building's power supply is maintained through a minimum N+1 redundancy, while the main power is supplied via two 33kV dedicated incomers, a diverse A&B power supply distributor at 11kV via a rotary UPS, and multiple ring main circuits.
• onsite diesel power generator that can support the centre at full capacity for 24 hours. This is backed up by a two-hour, 24x7 fuel delivery contract.

Netowork Access Security

• Server access is limited to secure protocols
• Customer Backups are stored on seperate servers on private (non routable on the Internet) subnet
• Dedicated firewall services to block unauthorised system access.

Data Redundancy

• All databases and websites are replicated in real time on seperate servers on our private subnet (no access to the public), so if one server goes down, another can take over.
• Raid-1 or Raid-5 hardware used on all servers.
• All servers are backed up nightly to seperate servers on our private network.

Operational Security

• Managed and patrolled by building control staff 24x7,
• multiple closed circuit TV points,
• secure entries and exits, and limited access areas.
• All passwords are securely encoded using the MD5 cryptographic algorithm which secures passwords so not even Bloomtool's employees know what your password is.
