The Network at Simply Web Services

How are you connected to the Internet? How fast are your connections?

We are connected to the Internet via a multi-layered redundant DS3 and OC3 lines (there is no single point-of-failure) and multiple backup T-1 lines directly connected to UUNet (MCI/WorldCom) Internet backbone and Savvis Communications backbone. These connections are equivalent to 28 T1's (or 45 Mbps). The backup T-1 lines are equivalent to 1.5 Mbps, which offers a fast backup connection to the Internet if something happens to our main line. Our connections are over 800 times faster than the average modem in a home computer. Total burstable bandwidth up to 100 Mbp. Now that's FAST!!!

What type of monitoring do you offer for you network?

Our network is monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year, by a highly trained staff. Technical support is available via email 24 hours a day. Anything else would be unacceptable.

How can a small company like yours offer such big services at a low price?

That is very easy, Simply Web Services has teamed up with a professional Network Operations Center to handle the servers, network equipment and connections. Not that the staff at Simply Web Services can not handle it, but in order to provide our customers with the best service for the lowest possible price, we choose to go this route. 

What else can you tell us about your NOC?

The NOC (Network Operations Center) is located in a telco-grade facility with generator backup, a temperature controlled secure environment with full redundant UPS capability. All equipment is fully tested and configured for optimal performance as well as daily web server backups and full fire protection to guard against any data loss. To deliver speed and reliability, the servers are connected to multiple DS3/OC3 lines from three diverse Internet backbones to total 135 Megabits of available bandwidth.
