We provide a multi-homed, managed Internet access service that provides the ultimate in availability, performance, and scalability. We connect you directly to multiple backbone Internet Service Providers through private transit connections.

Availability: 4 Layers of Redundancy

Our Network was designed from the ground up with the primary goal of providing 100% availability of the Internet to your equipment. This goal is obtained through multi-homing, BGP-4 and 4 layers of redundancy.

• Layer 1 – Multiple Tier-1 ISP's
• Layer 2 – Diverse local loop providers connect InflowNet to each ISP
• Layer 3 – Fully Redundant Cisco Powered Network (a.k.a. InflowNet Mesh)
• Layer 4 – Use of HSRP (Hot Standby Routing Protocol) to provide physically redundant Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet connections from separate access layer switches to your equipment cabinet.

Local loop connections are provided by a variety of Local Carriers. We utilize two or more of these Local Carriers in the Internet
data centre at all times, ensuring the local loop is not a single point of failure. The network runs on a completely redundant, end-to-end Cisco Powered Network utilizing Cisco 7206 VXR and 12008 GSR Border Routers with Cisco 6509 Catalyst Switches in the Distribution and Access Layers. You are assigned to a unique Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN). Dual 100mb Ethernet connections are provisioned directly to your equipment cabinet. Gigabit Ethernet over fibre is also an option for an additional charge. You can either be routed or switched directly to the access layer based on your needs. Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) are enabled, providing seamless connectivity in a fail-over situation.
