A Network That’s Secure, Efficient & Reliable

The foundation of what makes our network so reliable is its redundancy and intelligent routing:

Network Redundancy

From our redundant core, we supply two diverse network connections through two separate core switches. While only one connection is used to route traffic, the second connection is a hot-standby circuit ready to route traffic in the event of a problem. The changeover to the hot-standby circuit happens instantly without any changes to the network configuration.

Intelligent Routing

Most network providers use standard BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) as their routing protocol. However, BGP’s route selection process is limited and does not take individual network quality or performance into account when making routing decisions. To combat these issues, Contegix takes intelligent routing one step further. By supplementing BGP with several network metric tools, we can determine the quickest and most reliable path to the end user. Network samples are taken with small probes (UDP) across all available paths from our datacenter to the end user. Once the best path has been determined, the BGP routes can be manipulated to improve network performance. The result is consistent end-to-end network performance for business critical applications.
