Network
Our data centers are among the best-connected hosting
facilities in the world. Our data centers are implemented through a
high-speed network specifically designed for dedicated server hosting.
The Datacenter has invested in both network
equipment and backbone connections to ensure that customers get the
fastest access possible to their content and applications.
The Datacenter have multiple network
connections to different Internet backbones, allowing data to be
distributed though many sources - meaning that network is not dependent
upon any single Internet backbone.
Our network architecture utilizes the Enterprise routing
and switching engines from Juniper and Cisco. We utilize Juniper M20
routers as border routers, Cisco 6500 series switches in our
distribution layer, Cisco 6500 and 5500 switches in our aggregation
layers, and Cisco 3500 and 2900 series switches at the customer layer.
Our network is fully meshed and redundant with 8 backbone providers. Our
current network consists of UUNet (GigE), Sprint (GigE), Level 3 (GigE),
Global Crossing (GigE), Verio (GigE), Time Warner (GigE), Allegiance
Telecom (2 x GigE), and AboveNet (2 x GigE). Please see our network
