Our datacenter national
backbone is ranked among the top in the nation. Connections ranging from
OC48s (2.4 Gbps) to gigabit ethernet (1,000 Mbps) form rings around the
nation connecting Hurricane core routers at several major exchange points
including:
Our datacenter's self-healing network architecture virtually eliminates a single point of failure. In addition to our own backbone, we also purchase backup transit from multiple providers in multiple locations to ensure that your data will arrive via the shortest possible routes. Because of our backup transit and the many international peers, our network maintains the shortest routes for sending your data all over the world. On an ongoing basis, we are negotiating with the top fiber carriers for new routes, additional backup transit providers, and we are signing on new peering relationships. Our datacenter's switched network utilizes the Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 (BGP4) over Cisco 12000 series GSR routers. We always update the router's IOS after we have stress tested the latest IOS on a non-critical router, to make sure it is very stable. The switch that your equipment will ultimately be connected to is connected back to a core router via fiber. Our datacenter has one of the friendliest peering policies in the industry. We will peer with any network that is connected to one or more of the exchange points that we have in common. |
