The Network

Fiber Optic Backbone:

Connection with a direct fiber optic line can handle several times the bandwidth of an OC3 with Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology.

Reliable Connection-Better than OC3 Connectivity:
  • We connect with Tier 1 provider servicing sites such as Yahoo! and Netscape
    through two separate bandwidth on demand connections If you can reach Yahoo!, you can reach our network.
  • We do not offer internet access thus all our network resources are dedicated for
    web hosting. Some web providers operate an additional dial-up Internet service
    which slows down their connection to the Internet.
Route Optimization:
  • On a typical server the traffic always takes the same route from client to server.
    For them, if there is a bad node, traffic does not get through at all. We use intelligent end-user routing software which allows the traffic to your site to travel more efficiently by finding the best route for data to travel. This means that different and more efficient routes are taken between client and server depending on traffic loads and broken nodes.
  • This means our servers automatically look for the fastest route available.The network daily average is 6.5% of its capacity, with mid-day peak spikes reaching only 15.5% capacity.
  • Our transfer times range from 15 to 80ms routinely.
