Connectivity is completely redundant, right up to the point of delivery to customers. Traffic is routed through Juniper edge routers and aggregated using Cisco core switches. We participate in extensive public and private peering using the Equinix Peering Exchange and the AMS-IX Internet Exchange. Our private optical IP backbone connects all of our network PoPs to ensure the most efficient routing of traffic between customer equipment and its destination.
Every server we sell is professionally built using quality components and can be customized to meet every customer's unique requirements. We keep several entire systems on hand and earmarked as cold spares, and an extensive inventory of replacement parts to keep our servers up and available.
