We have redundant links from their switches to our redundant firewalls. Our firewalls then connect to physically-isolated
networks. Each of these networks uses managed switches connected to each host.
Xeroscape, Inc.
Our networking in Kansas City, Missouri is provided by Xeroscape, Inc..
We benefit from their network reliability measures, including multiple Tier 1 backbone connections and peering with several
other ISPs.
Redundant Firewalls
The Xeroscape switches connect to our redundant firewalls. Should one firewall fail traffic will be routed
through the secondary firewall. This also provides us with the ability to perform firewall maintenance without
impacting service.
Physically-Isolated Networks
Each internal network is comprised of one or more managed 24-port switches. These switches have redundant, gigabit uplinks to our
firewalls for relability. Althought these switches are not redundant themselves, we have extra switches on location that may
be swapped-out at any moment should any switch fail.
Individual Ports
Each port of the managed switches is independently monitored and controlled. Should one server begin to use
an abnormal amount of bandwidth, we have the ability to reduce their port speed or shut down their port entirely to
maintain overall network reliability.
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)
When combining our service with the ProtectPoint Managed Security
Services Provider (MSSP), ProtectPoint provides redundant hardware with automatic failover.
