WiredTraffic utilizes two Datacentres, the Savis Datacentre and the Databank Datacentre.

The Savvis Network

SAVVIS has engineered its network around a single platform which enables one global IP backbone, rather than regional Autonomous Systems stitched together. That means that once data gets on the network, it’s a single hop to the global network node nearest its destination.

This minimizes the number of router hops and reduces the risk of downtime when traffic has to traverse multiple networks.

What this means is:

• You are only one hop away from content hosted on the SAVVIS network
• Access to all of the routes on the Internet
• Fast and reliable links to the dedicated servers.

Network features include:

• 24Gb/s upstream network link capacity
• Based on industry-leading Juniper core routers and Cisco equipment specifically designed for the needs of Tier 1 "carrier-class" customers
• OC-48/OC-192 backbone trunks, supporting MPLS protocol1
• AS3561 is consistently rated over time as having the lowest latency, lowest packet loss, and highest reliability
• SAVVIS firmly segregates Layer-2 (transmission) and Layer-3 (routing)
• Layer-2 is ATM-based for traffic management
• Core network is designed for “zero” packet loss
• SAVVIS is moving to more efficient MPLS Layer 2 protocol

The DataBank network:

Databank’s network architecture utilises Foundry and Cisco carrier class routing and switching equipment to provide a Highly Redundant and Highly Available Multi-Homed Internet Aggregation Hub. Databank utilises Foundry RX16 and Cisco 6500 series switches and routers in their network to provide up to 3.84 Tbps of switching and routing capacity. This coupled with multiple Gigabit trunks from multiple Internet service providers makes DataBank’s IP Hub one of the most robust in the industry.

Network features include:

• 3.84 Tbps of switching and routing capacity designed for the needs of Enterprise and carrier-class customers
• Multiple Gigabit Ethernet backbone trunks
• Core network is designed for "zero" packet loss
• Embedded sFlow per port supports scalable hardware-based traffic monitoring across all switch ports without impacting performance
• Multi-Homed Internet Providers
