We have taken every effort to design and implement a state-of-the-art network facility. Using "Best of the Breed" hardware and software, we have created a service location unrivaled in the Webhosting Industry. Our Network is designed in such a way as to accommodate our growth and scalability and to maintain the Quality of Service which we have guaranteed to deliver in our SLAs. When building our network some of our objectives included; systems reliability, proven stability, scalability, predictability, and deterministic behavior under any load conditions.

By design, we have the ability to increase our network connectivity at the "flick of a switch", without the need to provision additional transit circuits from our Providers. With "Zero-Mile" access to Transit Providers our network points of failure are virtually eliminated.

Connectivity

Our network is designed to be redundant in every possible way. Our bandwidth utilization is constantly monitored by Internal and External entities to ensure our Quality of Service. In addition to bandwidth utilization monitoring, we continually analyze NetFlow information from it's routers. These reports provide us with critical information for optimizing and prioritizing information over our network.

We use careful planning and proven technologies to bring connectivity to our customers. We maintain the highest level of support for our network hardware, and have an emergency-reponse team dedicated to maintaining our network continuity.

Equipment

Our network equipment comprises of best-of-breed hardware. We are continually evaluating new hardware to increase our network performance, stability and Quality of Service (QoS). Research and development is a continuous process.

Extensive multi-level service contracts are purchased on all new network hardware acquired. The quality and reliability of our network translates into improved operations for our customers. We maximize the use of our network to ensure the most cost-effective service is passed along to our customers.

We have selected Extreme Networks as our provider for switched technology. Extreme Networks is a leading provider of high-performance, broadband networking solutions designed for the Internet economy. The Company's switching solutions are built on a unique combination of management software and common architecture that enables us to expand our business and be more competitive by speeding traffic through a simplified, super scalable network infrastructure.

Monitoring

Network Monitoring is critical in our business. Our Quality of Service guarantee is one of the best in the industry, and to ensure this we use a combination of Active and Passive monitoring systems. Every piece of hardware connected to our network is monitored for utilization, environmentals and uptime.

PRTG allows us to gather information about our network in real-time, analyze potential problems, and pre-empt any potential disruption in service. We combine this with MRTG for aggregated reporting and RTG for archiving of SNMP counter data. Nagios is used for monitoring servers and services across the network.
