Networks Equipment Limestone utilizes all Cisco hardware through-out the datacenter. With two border routers, two core routers and redundant links going to each switch on the racks, Limestone provides the superior network that you need in order to provide solid services to your clients.
Limestone Networks Private Tunnel Limestone keeps you connected in two different ways. Every server has two Ethernet cards in it. The first links the server to the outside world via our five fiber providers. The second Ethernet card links the server into a backend router on the network, a LAN type of setup. The advantage is that if a customer has more than one server, they can transfer information between the two servers without sending any information out over the net. This configuration offers clients a secure backend network over which they can transfer and communicate between servers without wasting any of their bandwidth and without risking exposure of sensitive data to the Internet.
Internap® Flow Control Platform™ (FCP): [[4]] The Internap® Flow Control Platform™ (FCP) solution provides network performance management and monitoring for companies with redundant Internet connections. Without an FCP, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is often the default routing mechanism, blindly routing data over connections based on the shortest amount of hops - a choice that frequently results in poor performance. The FCP takes a better approach. It proactively reviews network(s) for the best performing and most cost-effective path and routes according to personal requirements. This will help improve performance for applications and the bottom line.
The FCP has built in tools and reports to show you exactly what is happening on your network today.Based on its unique capability to measure the characteristics of end-to-end, real-time Internet traffic, the FCP solution improves network performance up to 50% on average by: Automatically routing traffic around major network outages, Managing the network issues such as IP network brownouts and slowdowns that cause the 80% of application issues that impact revenue and productivity, Proactively identifying and choosing the best performing path for your traffic at all times and Providing routing based on priority and cost savings for key applications.
