Our Philosophy is Simple
is the foundation that we build upon.
Among other things, the network provides reliability, speed and scalability.
Our servers will stand up to millions of hits per day with no problems.
After our foundation, we regard and then
as our top priorities.
We believe that by providing good Customer Service, by providing the tools and features demanded by professionals, by providing the support needed to succeed, and doing so for a fair and reasonable fee, we will build client loyalty which in turn insures our business future.

Our Network Foundation Is As Strong, As Capable and As Secure As They Get...
 Cisco Certified Network
To get your message out, we employ a network that is a complete Cisco product and is a Cisco Certified Network.
It makes use of fully redundant Cisco 7500 (redundant routers and redundant cards within the router) at the core and state of the art 3550 L3 switch / routers as border routers.
To further maximize redundancy the network utilizes distributed 2924 XL EN switches to ensure that single chasis failure will have minimum downtime effects on our servers unlike the competition who often aggregates hundreds of servers in a single chasis based switch like the 6500 or 5500 which if it fails its cpu or power it takes down many customers.
This approach gives the maximum power failure protection and switch failure protection to distribute the load and risk.
We could have saved a lot of money by deploying on a network built on mediocre equipment.
We could have saved a lot of money by settling for less than optimum backbone access. We could have, but, we did not.
Major Backbone Providers
Our network is fully meshed and redundant with 6 major backbone providers.
Our current network consists of a gigabit (1000mbit) to Abovenet, Allegiance, Aleron, Global Crossing, IBIS7, and Telia.
By having providers with a larger burst capacity we're able to handle DoS attacks better than many of our competitors that have chosen many smaller pipes.
This is because a DoS attack will many times concentrate itself on one inbound or outbound connection and can swamp it if it is only a 100 mbit or an oc3.
Our network will provision nothing less than GIG circuits on the backbone.
This allows us plenty of room to fail back and forth from provider to provider without regards to where the traffic is going to prefer since any one of our links has far sufficient size to handle all of our traffic.
System Monitoring
Our routers are actively monitored for key factors including temperature, cpu and memory utilization.
Our connections are actively monitored for transit latency and uptime.
Our Network's Techs and Engineers receive notification immediately in the event of a process going out of tolerance or an outage through our automated systems.
Network engineers and technicians can then respond quickly with corrective action.
Prevention of Hijacking and Conflicts
Our network utilizes VLANS to prevent customer IP space hijacking and conflicts.
Our network is kept flat as possible.
As a result, the network minimizes route convergence and latency in the backbone and speeds the packets on to the best provider through BGP4 on the core.
