Our network is comprised of two cisco 6509s running at the core. The 6509's are fully redundant and running iBGP and HSRP. If one fails, the other is able to take on the full load of the network. We have multiple gigE fiber optic (1000Mbit/s) connections from the worlds leading telecommunication companies. With multiple GigE connections, this allows for the high bandwidth that is required for even the most bandwidth intensive programs needed to stay competitive in the ever changing world wide web. We also have public and private peering argreements with over 400 ISPs all over the world. We get our IP transit Savvis, Global Crossing, Mzima via multiple gigabit fiber uplinks to our core routers/switches. If all but 1 provider fails, there is no change to our network, as we can serve our full client base with one provider as we leave that much room on every connection.
The core switches are connected to two seperate distribution switches (2 cisco 2948G-L3's). From the distribution switches, we connect to an edge switch, (Cisco 3500 series) Each cabinet is pre-wired and connected to our main distribution cabinet so it's plug and play. Each cabinet has it's own switch, we prefer a layer 2 switch in each cabinet. All of our servers are hooked up to APC remote reboot ports in the event that they lockup for any reason.
We have 24/7 access to our private facility via keycard access. You cannot get into the elevator of the building without passing security. The elevator is key card activated too, so if your card isn't scanned, you can't go anywhere.
