Technology - Network
Ultraspeed's network has been designed from the ground up to be fully redundant. Multiple border and internal routers from multiple vendors are utilised to ensure that 100% uptime is delivered on a continuous basis. It is also important to understand that unlike other providers' networks, ours is purpose-built for the business of Managed Hosting.
Ultraspeed utilises a number of providers such as Interoute, Telia and Cogent. Ultraspeed also peers extensively via the LINX (London Internet Exchange) and privately peers with other key networks in the UK and Europe.
Each rack is deployed with multiple network switches; these are connected back to multiple internal routers to ensure redundancy in the event of a port or cable failure serving that switch. Physical servers are connected back into switches in each rack via multiple gigabit Ethernet connections.
The Ultraspeed network is constantly monitored and managed internally by a team of experienced network engineers to ensure that overall and individual link saturation does not peak consistently over the 60% utilisation mark.
