Strong Network Peering and Optimized Routing
The backbone carriers are complement to each other with their vast, diverse network and strong peering policy with other major and minor backbone carriers in America, Europe, Asia and all over the world.
In addition to diversity, utilization of BGP (Border Gate Protocol) optimized routing to find the shortest path from the server to the destination and vice versa. This will significantly improve the efficiency of download/upload speed by avoiding unecessary loops and network congestion. In short, you will be guaranteed instantaneous connectivity.
Top of the Line Network Appliances
Only the best appliances to deliver your valuable data. With redundant Cisco 7513, Juniper M-class and Riverstone Metro routers/switches, the network is configured with BGP and fail-over settings to prevent down time.
In addition to automatic redundancy extra hardware is kept on hand in case of emergency.
Superior Network Uptime
The server room temperature is constantly monitored and set to 70° Fahrenheit for optimum server operation. All of our servers are stored on raised floors with large Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) from Liebert to enforce proper air circulation. This will dissipate the heat faster, thus increases the reliability and longevity of our equipment significantly compare to regular cooling system.
We understand that your website should be accessible at all time. With high availability and redundant carriers, our network is protected from downtime. If one carrier is down, all traffic will route to other carriers automatically.
