AUSWEB has partnered with leading technology vendors such as Cisco Systems, Dell, HP & Juniper Networks, to build a high performance Gigabit network offering both full N+1 redundancy and fault mitigation at multiple layers.
AUSWEB also chooses carrier neutral data centers to provide premium network performance and redundancy options, as well as a range of premium upstream bandwidth providers to provide multiple options for our customers in Australia and Internationally.
Last but not least, our network engineers are continuously monitoring our network & infrastructure 24 Hours a Day, 7 Days a Week, 365 Days a Year, ensuring uninterrupted high-speed access to your services.
We currently provide bandwidth through Telstra, TATA, Vocus and PacNet as well as peering via PIPE Networks NSW IX and Equinix IX
We use a number of protocols across the network to achieve N+1 redundancy and provide a secure, stable low latency network environment:
- VRRP protecting our default gateways against hardware failures.
- Multi-homed routing with all prefixes advertised via Dual BGP peerings to each upstream provider.
- Clustered firewalls.
- Redundant Power supplies for all distribution/core routers, firewalls,and switches.
- Dual trunks between all distribution and core network devices.
- Hardware spares on standby.
- Dedicated out-of-band-access
- Monitoring using industry standards such as SNMP, ICMP, Syslog, and Netflow ensuring the present health of all network elements while allowing us to efficiently plan for the future.
- Cross connects, metro Ethernet circuits (Fibre or Microwave), VPNs (Road Warrior or Net-2-Net), private networks/VLANs, and firewalling can be provisioned for any of our dedicated hosting services.
