Our data center is on a national backbone ranked among the top in the nation.
Connections ranging from OC48s (2.4 Gbps) to gigabit ethernet (1,000 Mbps)
form rings around the nation connecting HostSure's core routers at several
major exchange points including:
- PAIX Palo Alto, CA
- Equinix Ashburn, VA
- Equinix Chicago, IL
- Equinix Dallas, TX
- Equinix Los Angeles, CA
- Equinix San Jose, CA
- NYIIX Telehouse New York,
NY
- LINX Telehouse London
- AMSIX NIKHEF Amsterdam
Our self-healing network
architecture virtually eliminates a single
point of failure. In addition to our own backbone,
we also purchase backup transit from multiple
providers in multiple locations to ensure that
your data will arrive via the shortest possible
routes. Because of our backup transit and the
many international peers, our network maintains
the shortest routes for sending your data all
over the world. On an ongoing basis, we are
negotiating with the top fiber carriers for new
routes, additional backup transit providers,
and we are signing on new peering relationships.
HostSure's switched network utilizes
the Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 (BGP4)
over Cisco 12000 series GSR routers. We always
update the router's IOS after we have stress
tested the latest IOS on a non-critical router,
to make sure it is very stable. The switch that
your equipment will ultimately be connected to
is connected back to a core router via fiber.
HostSure has one of the friendliest
peering policies in the industry. We will peer
with any network that is connected to one or
more of the exchange points that we have in common.
