AboutOur Company
Network Details
The PlanetUSofA.com network has been engineered for high-availability demands of today's active websites. The data centers and network have been optimized for performance. Please take a look at our network providers that detail the redundancy of the PlanetUSofA.com network.
Connectivity
PlanetUSofA.com utilizes connections to multiple backbones to ensure that our
network is reliable and data can be delivered in the most efficient
manner.
BGP4
Routing
The PlanetUSofA.com networks utilize Border Gate Protocol (BGP4). BGP4 protocol
is the standard that allows for routing of packets of information sent
out from the PlanetUSofA.com networks. BGP4 routing creates a truly redundant
network by routing traffic over the most efficient route possible. Data
is automatically redirected through another route in the event of a
router failure. Should one of our backbone providers fail, packets are
automatically redirected through another provider.
Bandwidth
Utilization
The PlanetUSofA.com network currently has plenty of excess capacity,
even during peak hours. This allows us to accommodate large spikes in
traffic that are often associated with active websites. We are always
adding network connectivity and new routes in an effort to ensure that
content is delivered to your users as efficiently as possible. Always
maintaining proper bandwidth headroom also allows us to provide maximum
uptime, even if one of our providers has an outage.
Monitoring
PlanetUSofA.com data centers are monitored 24/7 by highly qualified network
administrators. The HTTP port is monitored while Ping tests are conducted
every 5 minutes to verify that the servers are active. In the event
that a port is unreachable, an email is sent to every member of our
technical staff. Additionally, our engineers are provided with real-time
status, notification, and forecasting of network events.
