Redundant Network
Hosting infrastructure is located in two main datacenters that each boast multiple connections to the internet on 10 different tier one backbone providers with 1Gbps or greater uplinks. Should any connection fail the other connections automatically takes over. Backbone providers include UUNet™, Sprint™, Level 3™, Global Crossing™, Verio™, AT&T™, Time Warner™, Allegiance Telecom™, Broadwing™ and Abovenet™.
Network Infrastructure
The network architecture utilises the Enterprise routing and switching engines from Juniper™ and Cisco™. Juniper™ M20 routers are utilized as border routers and Cisco 6500 series switches in the distribution and aggregation layers. Cisco 3500 and 2900 series switches are utilized at the customer layer. The network is fully meshed and redundant with 10 tier one backbone providers.
