Connectivity Network Infrastructure

Speed

Intelligent Routing

We utilize BGP to provide intelligent, fail-safe routing. We route your users to the fastest available connection to ensure maximum connection speed and virtually eliminate down time.

BGP4 Routing

We run the Border Gate Protocol (BGP4) for best case routing. Our entirely switched, Cisco powered network employs Cisco GSR 12000 class routers running HSRP (N+1 hot failover) to ensure that data can be routed even in the event of a router failure.

The BGP4 protocol is a standard that allows for the routing of packets of information sent out from our network. Each packet of information is evaluated and sent over the best route possible. Because of our redundant network architecture, packets may be sent via alternative routes even if they are being delivered to the same end user. Should one of our providers fail, packets leaving our network are automatically redirected through another route via a different provider.

Scalability

Transit from 10 Tier 1 backbone providers, including AT&T, Qwest and Level 3 and has over 4GB of provisioned data capacity.

Redundancy

Built-in redundancy through multiple redundant network connections and redundant router and switch configuration.

Network Security

All of our systems are designed to maintain a quality of service throughout the network by prioritizing packets to maintain an order of precedence of services. Each network device is equipped to filter out DOS attacks. We also offer intelligent, multilayer access control that can be utilized to protect the network from the impact of attacks while reducing the risk of inadvertently discarding legitimate traffic.

Connectivity

Our server utilizes connections to multiple backbones to ensure that data reaches the end-user in the fastest, most efficient manner possible. We also have peering agreements with local ISPs to allow fast delivery of packets when possible.

Guaranteed Packet Delivery

We pay our providers to make sure that packets of information are delivered to the end user's eyeballs. This offers significant advantages over simply peering with the major backbones. Peering agreements rarely include Service Level Agreements (SLAs) so no one is accountable for lost packets at congested exchange points. Because we actually have SLAs with all our providers, we are able to guarantee that all packets will leave our network at full speed.

Bandwidth Utilization

The network we are on currently has plenty of excess capacity, even during peak hours. This allows for us to accommodate even the largest spikes in traffic that are often associated with the most popular websites. Our Network provider is always adding network connectivity and new routes in an effort to make sure content is delivered to our users as efficiently as possible. Low bandwidth utilization also allows for maximum uptime, even if one of our providers has an outage.
