Network Infrastructure
Network Overview
For Internet businesses, connectivity is everything. We've designed our network for maximum uptime and we've partnered with the best in the business for consistent, stable and fast connectivity. Our network consists of Cisco core routing and switching gear. Cisco is the industry standard for high performance routing and switching at the core level. Distribution and access transport layers are handled by Foundry FastIron and EdgeIron series layer 2 and layer 3 switches.
