Routers and Equipment:
Juniper Backbone Routers
Hewlett-Packard Gigabit Ethernet Switches
Routers have multiple connections to our backbone
External Connectivity:
Currently there is a full 2000 mbps (2GiG-E connections) supplying our Data Center.
The use of non-blocking gigabit devices throughout the network ensures regional latency of a few milliseconds or less, suitable for the most demanding delay-sensitive traffic. Use of redundant fiber rings ensures network reliability and availability.
Our Data Center has connections to several Internet backbones including Level3, Genuity, Time Warner and Yipes. By connecting to multiple tier 1 backbones, incoming and outgoing data can be distributed through multiple sources.
This architecture also means that network connections are not dependent upon an single Internet backbone. As a result, when problems occur traffic rerouting is automatic, thereby ensuring the integrity of the network and continued access for our high-speed servers.
Additionly, the network runs Border Gate Protocol (BGP4). BGP is used at a provider with more than one access point to the Internet. It helps create a truly redundant network. Traffic from a down circuit is redistributed across other circuits, thereby maintaining network integrity. Providers that are multi-homed are more reliable than a single backbone provider because they have multiple paths to multiple providers.
Internal Connectivity:
A providers local area network is not often enough being seen as a point of latency. The two main sources of latency for a full-time Internet connection are the users local area network and the Internet providers local area network. Ethernet switches and high-end Juniper routers anchor the local network. This top-of-the-line network hardware ensures that data requests get to their destination and back out of the network as fast as possible.
We use ethernet switches instead of hubs because of their speed and security capabilities. Only one machine on a hub can talk at a time; all machines on a switch can talk at the same time. This means more data can travel through a switch and each server acts as its own node on the network. Furthermore, since each server is its own node on the network, it is difficult for hackers to trace data packets with sensitive information (i.e. passwords) to a particular server.
Servers on the network do not share a single path (T3). Instead, the servers are connected into a high-speed Ethernet switch. This switch is connected to the core router at the data center.
From the core router, data is sent back to the end user across the fastest available path. Whereas statically routing traffic over one path creates a single point of failure, this distributed architecture ensures that users can access data extremely quickly and have multiple paths both into and out of our network. |
