Performance-Optimized Network

At each facility we utilize multiple Internet transit provider s including the following Tier 1 carriers:

•  Level(3)

•  NTT

•  GTT

Our network has a performance-optimized blend of over 300,000 routes of paid transit. We examine reachability to Internet service providers across the globe and bias our routing to send traffic through the best available path. This results in a network infrastructure that provides low latency and high speed content downloads to broadband users worldwide.

Reliable Power

All of our equipment is attached to large-scale uninterruptible power sources to maintain system availability during a power disaster. Automatic transfer switches gracefully move loads from grid power to diesel generators keeping our network and servers online during power failures. At all times, power is fed through a battery-based UPS system to ensure continuity during a transfer event, transient filtering, and surge suppression.

Plan Flexibility

You can add dedicated network infrastructure components to any of our hosting solutions whenever you choose. To our managed hosting dedicated server packages you can add firewalls, load balancers, or additional storage and bandwidth as your business needs develop without a long enterprise sales cycle. Dedicated network infrastructure components can be added to your account in zero downtime fashion and can be integrated into existing live infrastructure using careful migration techniques.
