Network
Overview
The
BGP-4 routing protocol is incorporated into the network
to provide stable, efficient and intelligent routing.
Bandwidth capacity is kept at twice the peak usage rate,
so no matter how fast we grow, you will never notice
transfer rates that are less than Lightning Fast!
General Network Security
Measures
taken to minimize malicious attacks and ensure site availability
include the use of:
- Redundant
Cisco 7500 Series Routers, capable of routing up to
2.2 Gigabits of total traffic
- Fully
switched network to prevent the packet sniffing of
TCP connections
- Resistant
routing to hold network attacks at bay by configuration
- Tracking
systems to trace malicious acts (attacks, spamming)
to their sources.
- ICMP
Filtering and Syn Flood Protection
The
Network Operations Center (NOC) provides a 24 x 7 monitoring
service, and is capable of responding within minutes
to server failures, attacks or Internet backbone problems.
As a result, the adverse effects of distributed denial
of service (DDoS) and other attacks are minimized.

Network
Hardware
The
Network is comprised of all top-quality Cisco Systems
components including:
Data Center
Specifications
·
Complete Power Redundancy
The facility sits atop multiple power grids driven
by TXU electric, includes Liebert and PowerWare UPS
battery backup power, and onsite permanent generator
power.
· HVAC
Climate Control
Our HVAC systems are a combination of glycol, chilled
water, and condenser units by Liebert and Data Aire
to provide redundancy in cooling.
·
Fire Suppression
Fire suppression includes a pre-action dry pipe system
in both facilities including VESDA (very early smoke
detection apparatus) along with over 600 smoke detectors.
· Location
Security
The
Network Operations Center is protected 24 hours a
day by:
- Security
personnel
- Closed-circuit
TV system
- Video
tape recording
- Individual
authentication
- Systems
access audits
