Questions?The Network
First-Class Facility
Spiralhost is located in an unparalleled data center environment built for security, connectivity, redundancy and resilience. It features everything you would expect from a first-class facility, including; redundant power, HVAC air conditioning, extensive 24x7 security systems, 24x7 manned operation center and VESDA fire detection & suppression.
Premium Network
Speed, performance and redundancy are paramount. Our facility offers direct feeds from three tier 1 carriers and we optimize for performance, not the lowest cost. Your web sites will be connected to state-of-the-art equipment, offering the utmost in reliability and redundancy. You'll have all the speed you expect, guaranteed, without latency or packet loss, thanks to the Gigabit Ethernet connections and Internap Flow Control Platform (FCP).
Level 3 / InterNap / Time Warner - Multiple tier 1 carriers with diverse building entrances.
Cisco 6500 - Fully redundant Cisco architecture using 6500 Layer3 switches and hot standby router protocol (HSRP) failover protection.
InterNap FCP - Internap FCP appliance definitively identifies the fastest route for your data.
1 Gbps Connection - Gigabit Ethernet for all carrier and internal network connectivity, two direct network feeds to all our servers via separate switches.
Direct Connections without the Double Talk
Some providers take liberties when describing their carriers and whether their network offers border gateway protocol (BGP). We use Gigabit Ethernet connections from Internap, Time Warner and Level3 - we don't push traffic to low-end providers. Also, each network has its own entrance to the facility.
Internap FCP - Intelligent Routing
The network provides the best of all worlds: BGP to support multiple providers, enhanced by the Internap 5200 flow control platform. Forget about the shortest or theoretical best route - the Internap FCP appliance definitively identifies the fastest route for your data. If it senses any latency or packet loss in the chosen direction it will reroute your data around it. Also, it won't send traffic on a long, circuitous cross-country route just to avoid AS hops. With diverse entrances and FCP, we send your traffic down the smartest path.
