Their international gigabit backbone is ranked among the top in the nation connecting several major exchange points including MAE-West in San Jose, PAIX in Palo Alto, AADS in Chicago, NYIIX in New York, and MAE-East in Virginia. They peer with over 400+ networks, including Genuity, AOL, XO Communications, Google, Verio, Level3, MSN, Earthlink, Broadwing, Abovenet, Williams, Akamai and Digital WireWorks just to name a few.

Their self-healing network architecture eliminates single points of failure. In addition to their own backbone, they also purchase backup transit from multiple providers in multiple locations to ensure that your data will arrive via the shortest possible routes.

Their backup transit and international peers guarantee the shortest routes for sending your data all over the world. They are continuously negotiating with top fiber carriers for new routes, backup transit routes, and procuring new peering relationships.

Their switched network utilizes the Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 (BGP4) over Cisco 12000 series GSR routers. They update the router's IOS after they have stress tested the latest IOS on non-critical routers, to make sure it is stable.
