FastServers.Net, a leading managed dedicated server provider, has announced that it is modifying its current Service Level Agreement to include 100% Network Uptime and Two Hour Hardware replacements. With the advent of network upgrades and an improved inventory system, FastServers.Net has a justifiable ability to provide an increased level of uptime and much-improved turnaround times during hardware failures. FastServers.Net’s Data Center located in the Midwest is a N+1 Tier 1 hosting facility that features a unique combination of Hurricane Electric, InterNAP, & WilTel/Level3 connectivity, creating a robust, one of a kind network segment in the Midwestern United States.

With over 1,000 Dell PowerEdge dedicated servers deployed in the last six months, FastServers.Net has developed an in-house provisioning and inventory system that stocks all necessary replacement parts and dedicated server chassis, allowing instant response to failed components. “With these two major upgrades to the SLA we will begin an aggressive campaign that targets larger enterprise clients that have the need for high availability as well as quick resolutions to even the most critical of issues”, states Aaron Phillips, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for FastServers.Net.
