We currently have multiple and redundant direct OC-3 (155 Mbit/s) links (scale to OC-48, 2.5 Gbit/s) to the backbone hubs. To make sure that even during peak hours or unexpected spikes in data traffic, your traffic will not be affected and your websites remain easily reachable, we have built in excess capacity.
To ensure that the delivery of your packets are not delayed, we use the BGP4 (Border Gateway Protocol) on our Cisco™ router, making sure your packets will pick the best route amongst different internet backbones.
If any of our backbones would fail, our system will automatically redirect the traffic to the other routs available.

Furthermore, the internal network is 100% switch-based 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet using the latest Cisco™ and HP™ equipment for which we have hot swappable backup gear ready at all times.

The Class-A data center has been engineered to ensure the highest level of performand, reliability and securiy at all times. These are a few of the features that contribute to making this data center a solid place to host your critical applications at:

Triple redundant power feeds from three independent utility substations
Redundant UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems
Redundant cable routing system
Hot-swappable backup network equipment
Fire detection and suppression system using CO2 gas.
NOC (Network Operations Center) staffed with knowledgeable system technicians at all times.
Situated in Chicago where there are low occurences of natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, etc.
