Enhancing Connectivity and Reliability:
A Closer Look at Our Network Infrastructure
In today’s digital age, a robust and dependable network infrastructure is the backbone of any successful organization. Businesses, data centers, and service providers rely on seamless connectivity to deliver services, access information, and ensure their operations run smoothly. One key aspect of this infrastructure is redundancy, which plays a crucial role in maintaining uninterrupted network services. In this article, we delve into our network’s architecture, focusing on its fully redundant infrastructure and the cutting-edge technology that powers it.
Redundancy: The Key to Reliability
At the heart of our network lies a fully redundant infrastructure. Redundancy, in the context of network architecture, refers to the duplication of critical components, pathways, and systems to ensure that if one element fails, another seamlessly takes over, preventing service disruptions. This approach is like having a backup plan for every possible scenario, and it’s essential for maintaining uninterrupted connectivity.
Core Devices: Force10 E600
Our network’s core is powered by Force10 E600 devices. These are the workhorses that efficiently route data within our infrastructure. The Force10 E600 series is renowned for its high performance, low latency, and scalability, making it an ideal choice for handling the demands of modern networks.
Edge Devices: Cisco GSR 12000
At the edge of our network, we deploy Cisco GSR 12000 devices. These edge routers are responsible for connecting our network to the broader internet. Cisco’s GSR 12000 series is synonymous with reliability and versatility, ensuring that data flows seamlessly between our network and external networks.
Diverse Fiber Entry Points
To further bolster our network’s reliability, we’ve established diverse fiber entry points. This means that our network connections have multiple physical pathways into our facilities. In the event of an unexpected incident affecting one pathway, traffic can be rerouted through an alternate route, preserving connectivity and minimizing downtime.
Tier-1 Bandwidth Providers
To ensure high-speed and resilient connectivity, we partner with Tier-1 bandwidth providers. Our current providers include NTT/Verio, and Level(3). These industry leaders offer extensive global networks and the capacity to handle vast amounts of data traffic. Partnering with multiple Tier-1 providers enhances our network’s resilience, as we can dynamically route traffic through the provider with the optimal path at any given moment.
Conclusion
In an increasingly connected world, a robust and reliable network infrastructure is non-negotiable. Our commitment to ensuring seamless connectivity is reflected in our fully redundant architecture, powered by cutting-edge technology. The Force10 E600 core devices, Cisco GSR 12000 edge devices, diverse fiber entry points, and Tier-1 bandwidth providers all contribute to the strength of our network. Whether you’re a business relying on our services or a data center housing critical information, you can trust in our network’s reliability and redundancy to keep your operations running smoothly, day in and day out.
