Overview

ConnexHosting prides itself on having built a solid, redundant network; and can thus offer greater than 99% uptimes. We acheive this through a simple and scalable architecture. In our Tampa facility, we manage numerous connections to the Internet backbone (utilizing the BGPv4 to transmit route information). All connections to our Internet backbone carriers are gigiabit (or greater) over divergant optical paths to the two local "teleco hotels" (metropolitan peering points for telecommunications carriers). Internally, redundant routing paths are provided through extensive use of OSPFv2 (RFC 2328).

Cisco Powered Core

All ConnexHosting core routers are Cisco 12000 Gigabit Switch Routers, which is the router of choice for most major Internet backbone carriers. The switching core employs the Cisco Catalyst 6509 multilayer switch, providing up to 400Mpps(Million packets per second)/720Gbps(Gigabits per second) of switching fabric. Distribution switches within the datacenter are Cisco Catalyst 3550 series multilayer switches, which connect Cisco Catalyst 5513 access switches to our core network.

Wireless Network

ConnexHosting follows the same redundant design principles in the architecture of our wireless network. All relay points on the wireless network are connected via multiple backbone uplinks to both geographic bandwidth aggregation points and other major backbone sites for further redundancy.

Keep It Simple

ConnexHosting deploys remote cities in an identical manner. Our mastery of redundant routing ensures maximum service availability for our customers. Below you will find a simplified diagram of the Tampa Network.
