Network Services
The Hostset Inc. managed network provides our customers with fully redundant, high
speed, state-of-the-art network access
and the added benefit of working through
Hostset Inc., your single vendor for systems, managed services, and connectivity.
Connectivity
Hostset Inc. provides connections to multiple backbones to ensure the fastest possible
delivery of data to your end-users. Our network utilizes high-speed switched Ethernet and
we connect with multiple tier-1 upstream providers for redundancy and optimal routing of
your traffic.
Multi-Homed Network
We provide transit from a number of backbone providers to ensure your users receive the
fastest access to your Web site and fast packet return delivery.
BGP4 Routed Network
We employ the standard Border Gateway Protocol (BGP4) in our network to ensure that
data is routed via best case routing. Each packet of information is evaluated and sent
over the best possible route. In the event of a router failure, packets are automatically
directed to another route in our redundant network architecture.
Guaranteed Packet Delivery
Hostset Inc. offers superior reliability of data by guaranteeing minimal packet loss in
the network. And, we work with our network providers to ensure that all packets leave our
network at the highest contracted speeds and are delivered to your end-users.
Bandwidth Utilization
Our networks are designed to ensure excess capacity exists even in peak operating
hours. We demand that excess bandwidth be the norm, even during the largest traffic
spikes. We continue to add new connectivity/routes to ensure that this excess is retained
and your content is sent to your end-users as efficiently as possible.
Network Providers
Our Network Providers are also our Technology Partners. They work with us to establish
best-of-breed services for our network access, and they provide carrier services to our
colocation customers. We have selected tier-1 upstream providers that deliver peering
access for optimal routing.
Operating System Flexibility
We recognize that different platforms excel in different applications and hosting. We
have developed expertise in multiple platforms to allow customers to select the platform
that meets their performance and budget needs. Customers can select from Microsoft Windows
NT, Linux, or SCO UNIX. .
Web Monitoring and Performance Testing
We offer Web monitoring and performance testing as an option to our customers. This
testing includes stress and load testing to ensure your online business can handle
projected traffic, scalability, and performance expectations. Web monitoring gives you
critical insights into the performance of your online transactions, your Web pages, and
your media streams.
Scalability
Scale your server configurations to the needs of your business. Outsourcing your
infrastructure allows you to start small, with only the hardware you require, and build
your network as your needs grow. And yet, you benefit from the amenities of a large data
center with high-speed network access. |
