At Cyber Solution™, 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
Cyber Solution™ 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. Here is a brief overview of our
connectivity providers:
Qwest
and its Qwest network is built with the industry's most advanced
technologies. It offers 10 gigabit, OC-192 speed and is constructed on a
"self-healing" SONET ring and 2.4 gigabit (OC-48) Internet Protocol
architecture. In the US, it reaches 18,815 miles and connects to 150 cities
across the country
Level3,
is our
second Tier 1 Internet backbone. Level3 continues to build-out the first
international all IP-based broadband network that's built from the ground
up. Extending from the U.S. to Europe and Asia, the Level 3 broadband
network already provides the infrastructure Web-centric businesses need
today. We are connected to Level3 at 155mpbs (OC-3) connection.
Furthermore, because of these unique connections, Cyber Solution™ does not
need to link to the Internet though an OC-3 or T3 Telecom circuit. Instead,
independent cables run inside our building directly from the Cyber Solution™
NOC to all two carriers' points of presence. These lines can handle the
bandwidth of a T3 or an OC-3 with DWDM. Plus, they handle several times the
bandwidth of an OC-3. Whatever your bandwidth needs may be, Cyber Solution™
has the scalability to meet them.
Network Redundancy
Cyber Solution™ 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 On Net 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 Cyber Solution™ 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. Cyber Solution'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. Cyber Solution's network daily average is
30% of its capacity, with midday peak spikes reaching only 35% capacity.
Cyber Solution™ guarantees clients will be carried off our network in less
than 80ms over a five minute average at any time of day or night.
