Our East Coast
NOC Partner started in 1995 as an ISP with a single connection
to the Internet via one backbone provider. As we grew, instead
of buying larger access to a single provider, we started to
inter-connect with many other backbone providers, and other
Internet Service Providers as well. In fact, with their recent
service extension to London theyarenow an international backbone
provider itself.
Werealized early on that the
best networks are made with top-grade equipment and skilled
network engineers. This seems like a simple observation, but
it is surprising how many companies either overlook it or
decide that it's safe to economize. Economy is always nice
until your network goes down, at which point you are likely
to lose many times the money you saved.
Our East Coast Partner NOCuses
quality network hardware andhave technicians working around
the clock, using such technologies as ATM and BGP dynamic
routing to ensure that all systems run efficiently, with significant
investments in equipment from major vendors such as Cisco
and Lucent. We agree that using industry leading equipment
that has a proven track record is the best choice, and is
well worth the extra expense.Network connections to multiple
backbone providers, and peering with many carriers on a regional
and international basis, allows us to easily reach remote
networks even in the case where a NAP may be unhealthy, or
when a specific backbone connection is down. It also allows
us to make intelligent routing decisions; for example, if
we are trying to reach a remote network which is on the Sprint
network, there's no reason to send it out to UUNET first.
Also, by placing our core nodes at places like Equinix and
Telehouse, we are guaranteed a level of competent
service. All of our core nodes employ SONET networks, which
essentially provides a dual-redundant, counter-rotating ring
technology, and in the event of a fiber cut, the SONET will
automatically heal itself. We also divide our circuits among
several telecommunications providers, such as Verizon, MFS/Worldcom,
and Adelphia. Lastly, TheNOC's staff is working around the
clock to ensure that the network is operating at optimum state.
We continually review collected statistics to watch for traffic
trends so that we can react with the proper routing adjustments
and bandwidth addition.

We collocate
our servers, the following description is from that data center
information package. We
are not attempting to imply that we own or have ownership
in this data center, this page is simply for informational
purposes for our customers
so you can feel comfortable with the partners we choose and
the location of your site and/or server.

Quality
Network, Quality Bandwidth - It makes a difference!!!
From
the west coast NOC,we offer only world class bandwidth. While
some hosting companies use dirt cheap junk bandwidth from
providers that use public peering points, the NOC only uses
the highest quality providers with private peering. Public
peering points are notorious for bringing incredible slow
downs, packet loss and even breaks in connectivity. However,
private peering offers only top quality bandwidth, no slow
downs, the least number of hops and backbones to get to where
you are, and plenty of available overhead. Bridging technology
us also used which means that almost every backbone that exists
is only one hop away from the core router. This means the
fastest route and most reliable path to you. As a side note,
all customers who connect to the internet either through ATT
broadband (or similar) or through Cox broadband (or similar)
have a direct connection to their west coast server. For example,
a customer with a Cox cable modem will never even have to
go to the internet to get to their server, it is a direct
connection! Cox and ATT have a large share of the broadband
services in the United States which means your customers that
have their connectivity through Cox and ATT will have a direct
connection for the absolute fastest and most reliable connection.
Using state of the art BGP4 routing protocol each packet that
leaves the NOC network is evaluated and sent out the best
route possible. In the event that one of our providers fails,
traffic is automatically and seamlessly transferred out our
other providers.
