So with that in mind, we designed and built our network to focus on uptime, and created aggressive Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to show just how much we believe in our network.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Network<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We use the network only for our customers&#8217; hosting needs, never sharing it with telecom services or cable TV services that would negatively affect your service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The only bandwidth we use is high performance bandwidth, which usually isn&#8217;t the case with cheaper hosting providers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 To provide multiple redundancies in the flow of information to and from our data centers, we partner with nine network providers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Every fiber carrier must enter our data centers at separate points. This is to protect you from complete service failures caused by an unlikely network cut.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You get fast and reliable network connections because our Proactive Network Management methodology monitors route efficiency and end-user performance, automatically improving the network&#8217;s topology and configuration in real-time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The network&#8217;s configuration, co-developed with Cisco, guards against any single points of failure at the shared network level. We even provide you with the option to extend it to your VLAN environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cisco and Arbor Networks continually work with us, creating ever-improving ways of monitoring and securing our network.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Physical Security<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Key card protocols, biometric scanning protocols and round-the-clock interior and exterior surveillance monitor access to every one of our data centers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Only authorized data center personnel are granted access credentials to our data centers.
