Our Network

We take pride in our state-of-the-art Cisco network and data centre facilities, built entirely with real-world and best-practise design experience. Our network is built for mind-blowing speed and extreme high-availability.

We use the BGP4 routing protocol to provide load balancing and complete redundancy for our servers and our customer server equipment. In the unlikely event that one of our transit links go down, data is instantly routed via an alternate link.

Pipe Networks

PIPE Networks is Australia’s largest peering provider with 16 IX locations across 6 metro-IX networks. Peering is a voluntary interconnection of ISP’s for the purpose of exchanging data between customers.

Our connection to PIPE Networks allows a customer of other ISP’s who also peer to access our network at incredible speeds while often avoiding data usage charges from their own provider.
