As the Internet evolves and the demand for high-capacity networking grows exponentially, your customers increasingly expect lightning-fast downloads and highly responsive web applications. Perception is everything. Customers demand web speed and service availability: The enormous importance of strategically engineered network architecture cannot be overstated.

As a customer-focused organization, Hostventures builds its network infrastructure in line with customer requirements and these three key network design considerations:

• SPEED and CONSISTENTCY
• AVAILABILITY AND REDUNDACY
• MANAGABILITY AND MONITORING

Data Center Features

HostVentures maintains multiple data center facilities cross connected by fiber. Each location has a redundant set of routers with multiple fiber paths out of each router. Clients have the capability to deploy their infrastructure in a completely redundant fashion and even distribute their equipment between two physical locations with a dedicated private VLAN trunk connecting the distributed hardware.

• A controlled environment designed for maximum server reliability
• Advanced fire suppression systems
• Uninterruptible power and surge suppression throughout entire datacenter
• Motion sensors
• Secured access with Hand Print Recognition
• SecurityLink alarm systems
• 24 x 7 guard patrols
• 24 x 7 automatic police department notification.

• Redundancy from two OC-192 (10 gigabits per second) circuits as well a an OC-48 (2.5 gigabits per second) circuit.
• Multiple providers for optimized network throughput and redundancy.
• Border Gateway Protocol, BGP, provides failover between upstream providers.
• Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) ensures automatic failover in the event of a router issue.
• Two locations are connected by a dedicated point-to-point fiber circuit.
• Each location houses two routers for redundancy and failover.
• Customers have the option of provisioning circuits on multiple routers for redundancy.
• Customers have the option of deploying equipment in two buildings for disaster recovery.
