In additon to the datacenter redundancy, Impulse Gaming keeps a full client data backup.  Every server has its own storage device, providing the leverage of holding 2 copies of a clients data at any given time.  Backups are performed on a bi-weekly (twice per month) schedule.  Backups are done near and past the midnight hours on weekdays to prevent user downtime.  Backups are usually complete in 1 to 2 hours.

Our minimum server standards are always changing, but never decreasing.  Our current minimum specs are:
Dual Quad Core Xeons (8 Cores)
4 to 8 GB RAM
100 MBPS Uplink
Windows Server 2003 R2 64 Bit Edition
Full Featured Game Panel
SQL Hosting via seperate service.
Web Hosting via seperate service.
In other words, our servers only run games, nothing else.
