Network Diversification
Solar VPS provides hosted services from three geographically diverse data facilities including two in New Jersey, USA and one in Maidenhead, Berkshire, United Kingdom. Diversifying our global data network allows customers to host closer to the heart of their businesses, which provides lower latency and higher transmission speeds. In addition to geographically optimal hosting, customers are provided with an unique ability to create their own hosting redundancy by using several of our data facilities around the world.
Tier 1 Bandwidth Providers
No matter which data facility you choose, Solar VPS provides premium Tier 1 bandwidth to all customers. Level3 and Telia are used in all 3 data facilities while other exceptional providers such as Global Crossing, NLayer, Savvis and Sprint are provided to our US facilities. All transit providers are routed over multiple Gigabit fiber connectivity allowing maximum throughput and future scalability.
Full Redundancy
All chosen Solar VPS data facilities are built with redundant routing capabilities. Along with fully automatic BGP, our networks are maintained with N+ 1 upgrade/maintenance policies for immediate failover.
Three Facilities, Three Choices
Offering multiple data facilities can often times be confusing. In order to choose the new home for your hosting, understanding the differences in our networks is important.
Both Solar VPS US data facilities use fully redundant BGP routing. Solar VPS offers a range of ip address options to customers including ip addresses provided by our data facilities and ip addresses assigned to Solar VPS direction from ARIN. US facilities are built around VLAN sharing methodologies which means that anywhere from 2-5 VPS nodes sharing a single VLAN. This allows convenient customers server migrations from one VPS node to another without the need for changing up addresses. Windows VPS, Windows DDS and Linux VPS are always hosted on diverse VLANs.
Solar VPS on staff Cisco Certified professionals handle network management from redundant Cisco 3500 series routers to Cisco 2900 distribution switches. This allows for both troubleshooting and network changes without relying on data facility staff and thus provides better service to customers.
The Solar VPS UK based data facility is constructed somewhat differently than US facilities. Given the way data networks are built in the UK, direct uplinks are provided from Cisco 2900 series distribution switches to data facility edge and core routers. All VPS nodes on a single distribution switch share a single VLAN and thus allow for convenient server migrations. While VLANs are not handled on Solar VPS UK based network devices, Solar VPS Cisco Certified Professionals carefully handle network connectivity and SNMP monitoring on all distribution switches in the UK facility.
Regardless of the data facility customers choose, Solar VPS provides fast, low latency service in all locations. All Solar VPS networks provide high performance connectivity with exceptional network uptime.
