Network
Architecture
XServHosting
prides itself on offering its clients an extremely reliable
and redundant network which accommodates the high-availability
demands of our customers' critical applications. This
is achieved through a simple and scalable architecture
designed to ensure maximum service availability for
XServHosting
clients. For performance and reliability, state-of-the-art
equipment from Cisco Systems is used for all core systems.
This includes border and edge routers, the switching
core, firewalls and load balancing gear.
Carrier-Neutral
Located in a carrier-neutral facility provides XServHosting
customers with numerous secure connections to the Internet
backbone through several selected Tier I network providers.
XServHosting
is connected to six different fiber carriers who supply
the data center through independent access points. Various
connections are maintained over divergent multi-gigabit
paths to metropolitan peering points. The multiple carrier
network architecture creates real redundancy and ensures
that XServHosting's
customer traffic can reach its destination using the
optimal upstream network. This offers significant advantages
over the peering arrangements that a typical Tier 1
data center has. At XServHosting,
if any provider experiences downtime or any other problem,
traffic is re-routed through other network carriers
until the problem is resolved. Our network, utilizes
sophisticated route determination technology from RouteScience®
to constantly probe the Internet for packet loss and
latency and then automatically re-route traffic around
these areas.
Service Level Agreements
Network redundancy allows XServHosting
to give its customers highly-competitive
service level agreements, including a 100% uptime guarantee
for our network. The natural redundancy in our network
architecture and our network uptime guarantee provides
significant advantages to our customers over other data
centers.
