Over the years large amounts of time and money have been invested on our network so that we can provide a fast and robust infrastructure for our clients.
We utilise BGP over multiple uplinks to the internet and peering points to provide us with highly available network connectivity. The use of BGP allows our network to re-route traffic via alternative paths if there's a problem with one of the uplinks insuring minimal downtime.
Our main IP backbone, provided by Level 3 Communications, uses the fastest dark-fibre connections for single-hop connections to Europe and the United States.
Some key features of our network are:
- Scalability to meet your most demanding applications
- Resilience so that there are no single points of failure

During normal operations traffic is routed via the best path out of and into our network over redundant fibre rings to our respective providers and peering partners. |
