We locate our high speed servers in secure and monitored facilities.

Also, through agreements with multiple providers at multiple locations, we are connected to a national backbone ranked one of the top in the nation.

Our high-speed servers reside at Hurricane Electric in Fremont, California where they are connected to a national backbone ranked among the top in the nation. Connections ranging from OC48s (2.4 Gbps) to gigabit ethernet (1,000 Mbps) form rings around the nation connecting the core routers at several major exchange points including:

• NYIIX New York, NY
• MAE-East Vienna, VA
• Equinix Ashburn, VA
• PAIX Palo Alto, CA
• Equinix San Jose, CA
• MAE-West San Jose, CA
• AADS Chicago, IL

The self-healing network architecture virtually eliminates a single point of failure. In addition to our own backbone, we also purchase backup transit from multiple providers in multiple locations to ensure that your data will arrive via the shortest possible routes. Because of our backup transit and the many international peers, our network maintains the shortest routes for sending your data all over the world. On an ongoing basis, we are negotiating with the top fiber carriers for new routes, additional backup transit providers, and we are signing on new peering relationships.

Network Redundancy
Like all top tier networks, our Cisco-powered network uses intelligent end-user routing software called Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). BGP can identify which path is the most efficient for each data packet, and then route the packet to its destination on the fastest path. This increases the speed at which web pages sent from our NOC arrive at their destination.
Studies have shown that the second most common reason for downtime is circuit failure on the Tier 1 backbone, the major data highway. To guard against this potential problem, we have three Tier-1 providers. If one has problems, we can route traffic down the other one. These private peering arrangements allow 2Macs to exchange packets of data with every major backbone carrier in a one-to-one environment quickly and efficiently.
In addition, the data center has high-speed links to 9 public exchanges including both MAE East and West and several NAPS. Through these many public exchanges, customers have the ability to reach their site wherever they are coming from on the Internet. Thus, we have the best of both worlds: a network that is both efficient and wide reaching.
