The network is built with Juniper Routers for maximum speed and safety. Read about JunOS and the performance advantage!
We monitor popular destinations for latency to ensure high-speed and proper access to everything. We perform elective BGP tuning to ensure that paths are un-latent and uncongested.
We use quality upstream ISPs to ensure high availability.
Through these upstreams we have multiple paths to large backbone carriers such as - MFN, Global Crossing and BTN.
We are using Towardex as our IPv6 carrier, their almost transit-free network is one of the best out there!
We are in facilities where we can connect with several other large carriers such as AT&T, Williams, Cogent, Time Warner, SBC, XO, Broadwing, Verio, ATDN, Deutsch Telecom, Telia, China Telecom, and British Telecom.
We also use Cisco and Foundry switches.
Reliability needs to be proven, not bought, which is why you'll never see an unknown vendors gear on our network. Our network is built for N+1 Operation because nobody needs un-needed downtime especially with the way the internet is growing these days.
Backbone:
We also utilize MPLS to reduce the number of "hops" in your internet traffic across our backbone, and to provide private networking to customers who need it.
Our network is non-oversubscribed and we maintain a 25% headroom during normal operations. In the event that we go under that headroom threshold, we will begin to provision new circuits and/or equipment.
We perform QoS shaping on traffic that needs a higher priority across our backbone to get maximum performance for your applications. This is especially important for VoIP and Video traffic, which is especially sensitive to latency or packetloss. If your application needs to have a high priority on its traffic, we can provide that service!
Security:
We filter on the edge and the core of our network to ensure that our network is protected from malfeasance. We provide a blackhole server network that overlays our existing network and allows us to catch and mitigate DDOS attacks when they happen. Any ISP saying they will never be influenced with a DDOS attack has either spent a ridiculous amount of money to get there or is lying. If you don't believe us, ask Prolexic Technologies, the industry leader in DDOS protection. They provide world class DDOS detection and mitigation, believe me they're worth the money, but its not cheap.
