Network Information
|
At
HostMagix™, we understand the importance of speed, security,
and stability; and have invested heavily in hardware and
facilities that ensure your sites are up and running on the web
24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Connectivity
HostMagix™ utilizes connections to multiple backbones to
ensure that data reaches the end-user in the fastest, most
efficient manner possible. Our world-class data centers are
powered by an OC-192 (10 Gigabits per second, 220 times
faster than a T3) nationwide backbone and a new 155mbps OC-3
(100x faster than a T1) connection with Level3. Because of this
we're able to provide lightning fast connectivity. By utilizing
direct access to each of the major backbone providers we can
deliver you unsurpassed speed & reliability.

Network Redundancy
HostMagix™ runs the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP4) for best
case routing. Our entirely switched, Cisco powered network
employs Cisco GSR 12000 class routers running HSRP (N+1 hot fail
over) to ensure that data can be routed even in the event of a
router failure. The BGP4 protocol is a standard that allows for
the routing of packets of information sent out from our network.
Each packet of information is evaluated and sent over the best
route possible. Because of our redundant network architecture,
packets may be sent via alternative routes even if they are
being delivered to the same end user. Should one of our
providers fail, packets leaving our network are automatically
redirected through another route via a different provider.
Studies have shown that the most common reason for downtime is
circuit failure on Tier 1 provider backbones, the major data
highways. To guard against this potential problem, we have two
Tier-1 providers. If one experiences problems, we can route
traffic down the other one. Furthermore, because we are OnNet
with Qwest and Level3, we share their digital distribution
architecture, which includes private peering network connections
to major Internet carriers such as MCI, Sprint, UUNET, EUNET,
AT&T, AOL, Best, Erols, @Home, IBM Advantis and others.
These private peering arrangements allow HostMagix™ to
exchange packets of data with every major backbone carrier in a
one-to-one environment quickly and efficiently.
Network Reliability
Industry analysis reveals that 70% of downtime over ten hours
with any ISP is caused by telephone circuit failure. Since our
NOC is in the same building as Qwest and Level3, circuit failure
is virtually eliminated because there is no phone circuit
between us and our providers. Instead, there is a direct
connection between our Cisco routers and theirs. HostMagix's
providers also have peering connections with other major Tier 1
providers, which allows traffic to be switched to alternate
backbones should the need arise.
Low Latency/High
Throughput
Too often providers operate their networks at three to four
times responsible capacity. As a result, their corresponding
transfer times reach over 300ms. HostMagix's network daily
average is 30% of its capacity, with midday peak spikes reaching
only 35% capacity. HostMagix™ guarantees clients will be
carried off our network in less than 80ms over a five minute
average at any time of day or night.
