Our Infrastructure Reliable, High Performance Infrastructure

Our servers are located in the data center of Hurricane Electric (http://www.he.net). Hurricane Electric's national backbone is ranked among the top in US. The data center is connected at major internet peering points (MAE-West in San Jose, CA; MAE-East in Vienna, VA; PAIX in Palo Alto, CA; AADS in Chicago, IL; NYIIX in New York, NY;) with redundant connections ranging from OC-3 (155 Mb/s) to GigE (1000 Mb/s). The Datacenter has a Gigabit Ethernet Primary Backbone, each server is connected to the backbone via a switched 10/100 Ethernet port.

urricane Electric's self-healing network architecture virtually eliminates a single point of failure. In addition to their own backbone, they also purchase backup transit from multiple providers in multiple locations to ensure that your data will arrive via the shortest possible routes. Because of their backup transit and the many international peers, their network maintains the shortest routes for sending your data all over the world. On an ongoing basis, they are negotiating with the top fiber carriers for new routes, additional backup transit providers, and are signing on new peering relationships.

Hurricane Electric's switched network utilizes the Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 (BGP4) over Cisco 12000 series GSR routers. They always update the router's IOS after they have stress tested the latest IOS on a non-critical router, to make sure it is very stable. The switch that our equipment is ultimately connected to is connected back to a core router via fiber.
