The Network Operations Center is connected to major US bandwidth
provider which ensures unbeatable speed and reliability. Apnahost.com's
backbone provider utilizes a DS3, running at
45mbps through Sprint™. A 2nd DS3, through AT&T™, Broadwing™,
Cable & Wireless™, or Global Crossing™ for redundancy.
And, a third DS3. Apnahost.com is peering (sharing capacity) with
major backbones, to exchange connectivity. The connection is running
BGP4 (border gateway routing protocol) & SONET to maintain the
speed and uptime. If one backbone line goes down, it balances the
load to the others. If one line gets congested, it load balances the
traffic. SONET technology is a high capacity, 100% fiber optic network
deployed in a ring topology with a working, or "hot," path
carrying data in one direction and a standby, or protect, path transmitting
in the opposite direction around the ring. In the event of a fiber
cut or service degradation, SONET equipment at the edge of each failing
fiber segment isolates the failure and uses both working and standby
fibers to create a new temporary ring. All of this happens within
50 milliseconds. |

Our Network Operations Center is backed up and protected by UPS (Uninterruptible
Power Supply) systems. In a very rare case of utility outages, our
auto-start generators start automatically, taking over for the UPS
system and supplying all necessary power for our Network Operations
Center. APC™, Tripp-Lite™, & Liebert™ UPS Systems
provide the power backups, along with Kohler™ generator systems. |
