network

 

        

Our network is concentrated at our operations centre in Telehouse Docklands. This connects our clients to the nerve centre of the Internet.

To accompany the quality of service offered by the Telehouse facility in physical security and environment, we are taking advantage of the high speed connections available at the site with trusted brands of hardware. With a direct relationship in a carrier-neutral datacentre, we provide a stable long term solution not reliant on a single provider.

We use Cisco routers and switches in combination with other makes of network hardware (HP, 3com, etc.) to ensure quality of service and reliability within out network.

Our connections to various exchange points and transit providers ensures your service is not interrupted if problems arise with one of our suppliers. We are peering at LONAP and LINX and have direct connections with various networks including Abovenet.

We are among the forefront of secure hosting. Not only do we operate our own redundant network, we also offer access to a third party network operated by another service provider using different upstream connectivity and thus have the ability to provide a truly redundant service with a choice of using one or two datacentres to add physical redundancy under a single service contract and support facilities. We aim to continue this drive for excellence by adding international hosting to our portfolio in the near future.

Our equipment

APC MasterSwitch 9212 and 7920 devices allows clients to reboot one of the 8 individual devices to which it serves power.

We maintain a dual UPS core infrastructure powered by APC SmartUPS 3000XL-series extended runtime devices to ensure failure of a UPS has minimal impact on our network. This is in addition to the standard UPS and generator backups provided by the datacentre to each rack.

Dell PowerEdge and Dell PowerApp web servers for enhanced performance for web hosting services

Hewlett Packard Procurve switches for co-location customer connections.

Cisco Catalyst 3550 series switches serving our core network and transit customers.

Our network routing is exclusively supported by Cisco routers. We use a minimum of the Cisco 7206VXR NPE-G1 or 7301 platforms which can deliver gigabit connectivity.

Why Telehouse?

We chose to focus on Telehouse because of its importance at the centre of the UK internet. It also by inference offers some of the most facilities where our equipment is located.

Access to our suite is tightly controlled and all visitors are escorted by staff at all times.

Backup Hardware

Did you know that we hold backup hardware to keep our network running 24x7x365 even in the event of equipment failure.

We hold spare parts for servers and hot-standby network equipment from different manufacturers, ensuring that the effect of any problems is minimised.
