HostingSource operates an all
digital New York Network consists of a blend of top
transit providers including Sprint and Global Crossing.
With advanced routing technology, traffic takes the shortest and
least congested routes on any of our available upstreams.
Multiple gigabit connections maximize uptime and ensure
stable network connectivity. Our use of premium quality
tier-1 global networks ensures the highest level of speed and
performance to any destination around the globe.
Our wholesale bandwidth portfolio now includes
four tier-1 carriers available via fast-E, DS1, DS3 and OC3
ports. In addition to Global Crossing and Sprint, our network
includes Savvis, MCI/Verizon and Level3
bandwidth.
MCI®
owns, operates, monitors and maintains one of the largest
communications networks in the world. MCI network facilities are
throughout North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and the
Asia-Pacific region, in more than 140 countries and over 2,631
cities.
The 98,000-mile fiber
optic tier-1 network is designed to support the
largest array of data communications and voice products in the
world.
MCI owns the world's
farthest reaching global network (based on company-owned POPs),
and spans more than 4,500 Points of Presence (POPs) throughout
the world, with 2.2 million global dial modems and high-capacity
connections to more than 102,000 active buildings. The global IP
network can circle the globe more than four times. Additionally,
MCI remains the most connected Internet backbone provider with
the greatest number of Autonomous System network connections.
The company's expansive IP footprint, coupled with its direct
interconnections, exceeds all other competitor networks and
enables its business customers and ISPs to reach more
destinations directly through MCI's global IP backbone than any
other carrier.
The Global
Crossing network contains over 100,000 route miles of
optical cable around the world. The tier-1
backbone network is constructed with the latest dense wavelength
division multiplexing (DWDM) technology. That means easy
expandability into the photonic future. And there's no tolerance
for down-time, either. A fault-tolerant design ensures our
uninterrupted network availability for your critical business
applications. Matrix NetSystems Internet Performance Service
independently monitors Global Crossing's industry-leading
network performance metrics.
Global Crossing has sustained network
availability levels of 99.999 percent -- the industry's highest
standard. And currently, Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)
testing is now widely available on Global Crossing's worldwide
network. We provided the IP network "engine" that an
international academic and research team used last year to set
the Internet2® Land Speed Record for sending data around the
world - demonstrating the ultimate in end-to-end Internet
Protocol version 4 (IPv4) performance. We now connect some of
the most prestigious, bandwidth-intensive, and technologically
sophisticated users in the world -- a select group of National
and Regional Research and Education Networks. |
