Availability: 4 Layers of Redundancy

Our Network was designed from the ground up with the primary goal of
providing 100% availability of the Internet to your equipment. This goal
is obtained through multi-homing, BGP-4 and 4 layers of redundancy.

Layer 1 Multiple Tier-1 ISPs
Layer 2 Diverse local loop providers connect us to each ISP
Layer 3 Fully Redundant Router Mesh
Layer 4 Use of redundant hot standby protocols

Local loop connections are provided by a variety of Local Carriers.

We utilise two or more of these Local Carriers in the Internet
data centre at all times, ensuring the local loop is not a single point of failure.

The network runs on a completely redundant, end-to-end routed and switched network.

You are assigned to a unique Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN). Dual 100mb Ethernet connections are provisioned directly to your equipment cabinet. Gigabit Ethernet over fibre is also an option for an additional charge. You can either be routed or switched directly to the access layer based on your needs.
