Our external connectivity is comprised of multiple high-speed (OC3) fiber circuits provided by AT&T, Verizon, and XO Communications.
These are Tier-1 connectivity providers which means your server is as close to the Internet backbone as possible.
This provides you with the best performance and accessibility possible.

Our internal network is secured from outside intruders by our CheckPoint firewalls. Checkpoint is the
worldwide market leader in firewall protection and intrusion detection systems installations.

Our internal backbone network consists of a switched Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) backbone using Cisco switches and routers.
Switching actually makes a dedicated 100 Mbps connection between the source and destination
device for the duration of the conversation. This is superior to using hubs as they share the
available bandwidth for all conversations going through the device at any given time.
