Bodhost.com has its Data Center based in Chicago Facility of Hurricane
Electric. Our Network Operations Center has an international internet
backbone is considered to be one of the best connections world-wide. Some of
the names include Level(3), Abovenet, Savvis, PCCW, Telia and Cogent.
Connections ranging from OC192, OC48, and 10GigE (10,000Mbps) form rings
connecting Hurricane core routers.
An in-house developed self-healing network architecture ensures that there
are no blackholes or failure points within the core network. On top of our
own backbone, as part of our redundancy program we also have multiple Tier
III connections from different locations. This also assures that your data
arrives via the shortest and the fastest available network route.
Our negotiations with the top fiber carriers for new routes and additional
backup transit providers is yet under development. We are also plan to
signup with new peering relationships in the near future.
Hurricane Electric's network utilizes Border Gateway Protocol Version 4
(BGP4) over dark fiber and long haul wavelengths. We always update the
router's software after we have stress tested the latest software on a
non-critical router, to make sure it is very stable. The switch that your
equipment will ultimately be connected to is connected back to a core router
via fiber. All equipments & parts used are branded. So you never have to
worry about hardware failure.
