Cisco 7505 Router  Internet backbone level routing 100 MB/s interface into the backbone

• Backbone 
• Foundry BigIron fiber switch as backbone
• Backbone speed is Gigabit
• Foundry workgroup 24 port switches
• Speed to router is 100 mb/s

 
Battery Room

• 1.25 MegaWatt Diesel Generator emergency power
• All servers and communications equipment are on dual 300KVA Liebert UPS battery backup
• An FM200 fire suppression system
• Dual redundant Leibert air-conditioning system.

• Utilizing an 'Inside-Out Network' to provide the unique ability for your data to travel over the optimal path to reach its destination using BGP4 routing protocol. This is done through utilizing direct connections to several leading Internet backbone providers. We have the following bandwidth connections to our backbone providers:
• DS3 to QWest (45 Mbits)
• DS3 to UUNet (45 Mbits)
• OC3 to UUNet (155 Mbits)
• OC3 to Global Crossing (155 Mbits)
• OC3 to AT&T (155 Mbits)
• OC3 to AT&T (155 Mbits)
These multiple connections provide speed, redundancy, diversity, and workload balancing. 

The AT&T Backbone	The UUNET Backbone
The Global Crossing Backbone	The Level3 Backbone

The data facility is equipped with complete state-of-the-art Cisco systems, including redundant Cisco 7513 routers, a Gigabit Ethernet network, and a 24x7 Network Operations Center. SONET Ring technology, with dual OC-12 and multiple DS-3 fiber optic lines, assures backbone fail over. BGP-4 routing protocol provides stable, efficient and intelligent routing. Bandwidth capacity is kept at twice the peak usage rate, and our internal gigabit connections will allow us to grow to 10 times our current size and still have the fast content delivery and server responsiveness.

What does all this mean for your business? This state-of-the-art network guarantees faster and more reliable service. And our commitment to adopting the best technologies available means that we'll continue to provide unbeatable speed and reliability.
