The servers your website is hosted on, connect to the
Internet through multiple redundant connections provided by
some of the largest backbone providers in the world - UUNET,
Genuity and Applied Theory - ensuring data delivery to the
end user in the fastest, most efficient manner possible.
AAces guarantees a 99.9% uptime by utilizing redundant
connections and data centers in both Connecticut and
Chicago.
|
|
Both networks are fully switched with
top quality components from Cisco Systems.
|
|
Our entire N.O.C. is wired with 100Mbps UTP Category 5
wiring.
|
|
Chicago has 2 DS-3’s (45Mbps) and 1 OC3 (155Mbps) on
separate and diverse backbones (UUNET and Genuity).
|
|
Connecticut has 3 DS-3’s (45Mbps) on separate and diverse
backbones (Genuity and Applied Theory). |
|
|
|
|
In addition to our multi-homed connections, our company
performs 24/7 network monitoring through both of our Network
Operations Centers (NOCs) located in the US. Our NOCs
monitor the HTTP port, and conduct Ping tests every 5
minutes to determine if the servers are active. In the event
that a port is unreachable, an email is sent to every member
of our technical staff. Additionally, the NOCs provide our
engineers with real-time status, notification and
forecasting of network events. Both of our data centers are
monitored 24/7 by highly qualified network engineers and
administrators.

We installed top-of-the-line Cisco Systems 7000 series
backbone grade routers on the core layer and Layer 3
switching on the distribution layer providing superior
segmentation and increased bandwidth across the backbone.
Each server is connected to its own switched 100Mbps port
reducing congestion. This configuration provides maximum
uptime in the event one of our providers faces an outage.
Bandwidth utilization is continuously monitored, allowing us
to accommodate even the largest bandwidth surges.
|
|
It is a misconception that the amounts of bandwidth (size of
the pipes that carry the data) differentiate web hosting
companies. But in reality it is not the size of the pipe
that matters, it is the utilization levels. We have multiple
redundant connections which allow us to guarantee customers
a maximum of 60 per cent capacity utilization at peak times
and an average of 40 per cent utilization across our
network.
|
|
|
|
|
Our networks utilizes Border Gate Protocol (BGP4). BGP4
protocol is the standard that allows for routing of packets of
information sent out from the AAces Network, thus creating a
truly redundant network by routing traffic over the most
efficient route possible. Due to our redundant entirely
switched Cisco powered network, data is automatically
redirected through another route in the event of a router
failure. Should one of our backbone providers fail, packets
are automatically redirected through another one.

|
Our
N.O.C. receives 1200 amps of power through secure underground
cables.
|
|
APC
battery backups provide all equipment with
uninterrupted power.
|
|
For
extended outages, a 250 kw natural gas-powered generator
provides backup to the entire
office and all equipment.
|
|
Modular
power protection for servers and business critical applications. |
|
Multiple 25 TB (terabyte) robotic tape backup systems.
