Our Australian Data Centre is located in Sydney, Australia and linked to major Tier-1 Australian Internet carriers, and providers. We have gigabit peering links to all the major Australian ISPs. This means that your Australian customers can reach your web site at a lightning fast speed.

The Networking Equipment

Our networking gear comes from Cisco and Juniper and have been set up in redundant active/standby configuration. Each server is connected to multiple redundant network switches, which in turn are connected to multiple redundant core and border routers to provide redundant connectivity all the way to the server level.
