100% Switched Network with Cisco Routers and Switches
Our provider's network is powered by Cisco Systems. They utilize only Cisco layer 3 switches and routers for their network equipment. The network is 100% switched, while many of our competitors continue to utilize hubs for their services. While hubs are certainly a cheaper alternative, it is the customer that pays the price of the reduced cost through a lower quality of service.

Ultra High Redundancy through HSRP and Diverse Power
Our providers employ Cisco 6509 catalyst switches on their network. Furthermore, all of the Cisco 6509 switches use two supervisors cards for redundancy. With failover protection, again, they pay a premium for quality of service. The Cisco 12012 GSR router is the most robust and costly router Cisco Systems makes. Their Cisco 12012 GSR has redundancy right down to the four diverse power supplies. And in the unbelievable chance the 12012 fails, our providers have two Cisco 7206 VXR routers setup. These routers utalize HSRP (Hot-Standby Reserve Protocol), so that if their main router does fail, the two 7206 VXR routers will carry the network routing automatically.

Our provider's network equipment is based on three principles: redundancy, redundancy, and redundancy. Where our competitors fail to even own the equipment they utilize, our providers have made key investments in their infrastructure and network equipment. This ensures that we can live up to our uptime guarantees.
