Public network
DC2 maintains a carrier class network designed and built for the lowest latency, highest reliability, and maximum scalability.
Cisco Routers & Switches
6500, 3750, 2900 Series routers and switches with gigabit speeds available from the individual server to the Internet.
Redundant GigE Backbone
Multi-router gigabit connections to the Internap, SAVVIS, VERIO/NTT, and Abovenet core backbone exchanges located in the INFOMART in Dallas, Texas
Traffic Management & Analysis
Utilizing Peakflow from Arbor Networks coupled with Netflow data from Cisco routers and switches, network engineers continuously monitor the health, reliability, and performance of the network. Historical analysis is critical for demand and capacity planning.
Network IDS, IPS & DDOS
Industry best solutions from Tipping Point are utilized to guard against denial of service, malicious traffic, viruses, malware, phishing, spyware and other types of Internet threats via wire speed detection and remediation coupled with automatic and zero day response.
Private VLAN & Port Control
All servers reside on private VLANs for security purposes. Additional servers or firewalls added after the initial install can be placed on existing VLANs or new VLANs without service interruptions or IP changes. Port control is also available to change port speeds from 10 / 100 / 1000Mbps to further manage security and bandwidth usage.
Bandwidth Graphs & Alerts
Detailed bandwidth graphs with historical data and projected monthly usage are available for all public server ports. Custom bandwidth alerts notify of bandwidth usage, spikes, or overages.
