PacificHost's datacenter is located in Chicago, IL. PacificHost is using top-tier internet backbone providers, making the connection one of the best in the world. Some of the bandwidth providers include Level(3), Savvis, Abovenet, PCCW, Cogent and Telia.
Comprising of an in-hours self-healing internet architecture ensures there are no failure points or blackholes within the network itself. There are multiple Tier III connections ensuring full network redundancy.
The network is setup on redundant juniper routers which direct traffic over a private fiber optic network with Cisco 6500 series switching platform. In addition, a partnership with Internap provides routing optimization and further reduces network latency by up to 50%.
Traditional networks are managed using BGP, a protocol that attempts to improve network performance by measuring the distance (number of hops) between the end user and the server they are accessing. The shortest distance between two points is not always the fastest. Utilizing Internap's FCP-10Gx routing optimization appliance, every path out from the network is continuously monitored for latency, packet loss, route stability, and congestion. This method of routing optimization ensures maximum network performance.
