Internal Network
Here at Tristateweb we have taken great pains to build a strong and redundant system. Our facility is climate controlled 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All electrical systems involved with the supply of power to the network facility are isolated form the normal power grid and engineered to withstand 3 times the greatest load we could possibly place on them. The entire network facility is connected to multiple UPS systems as well as emergency generators. This backup power system is tested weekly to insure it will always be there if ever needed.
We maintain extra pre-configured and pre-positioned routers for each router on our network. This router is to make changeover a mater of seconds not hours or days should a router fail. We follow the same model with all switches and other equipment critical to network operations.
Tristateweb's all fiber network is multi-homed to make sure your connection is always stable. We do not buy our bandwidth from resellers. All our connections are direct from the backbone to add to stability of the Tristateweb network.
Global Network
Through our redundant connections with UUNET and Global
Crossing Network we provide Transit connectivity to ISP customers in 76
countries.
UUNET's network maintains the highest level of reliability with redundant
and diverse paths to avoid single points of failure and provide optimal routing
and traffic flow, as well as uninterruptible power supplies at every switching
node. The network utilizes Smart Routing Technology to send Internet
packets as efficiently as possible and improving performance. And with
enough OC-12 (622 Mbps) fibre miles to circle the earth 10 times (February
1999), and network growth currently running at 1,000% per year, the UUNET
network plans to have the bandwidth required for pioneering Internet services
both now and in the future. The UUdirect Transit service enables you and
your customers to take advantage of UUNET's global network and world-wide peering
agreements.
Coupled with the use of the Global Crossing Network to dual home all our
bandwidth means you have the assurance of redundant connection that are multiple
layer deep.
The Global Crossing Network, the most expansive, scalable, fiber optic
network available brings to the table the ability to deliver customer
content with the highest performance and availability levels that
customers demand. The network infrastructure is state-of-the-art, built from
the ground-up, and puts Internet Protocol (IP) directly over the fiber. The
network is architected with extensive peering relationships to route content to
the perimeter of the Global Crossing Network, bypassing the congested public
infrastructure. The Global Crossing Network today includes 92,700 route miles,
serving five continents, 24 countries, more than 170 major cities and has
private peers with over 32 leading network providers with a presence at all
seven major public exchange points.
