Dedicated Servers: HomepageUniverse Network |
|
HomepageUniverse hosts all its dedicated servers in the state-of-the-art, fully redundant datacentre in Los Angeles, CA. The datacenter is owned and operated by HomepageUniverse. We use Mzima Networks for our Internet dual fiber backbone.
Mzima Networks has designed a completely fault-tolerant backbone network connecting to multiple Tier-1 carriers and numerous private peers to provide the highest performance and reliability to its customers. Mzima uses customized, proprietary software in combination with BGP4 routing to make on-the-fly routing decisions, constantly analyzing the many possible paths customer traffic can take. Our expertise and focus is on routing and traffic delivery, allowing customers to receive the benefits of well-managed multi-homed bandwidth without requiring the expertise, equipment or associated costs, as well as receive the benefits of direct private peering with end-user ISP networks.
Mzima interconnects at most major peering locations in the US as well as London, and we are constantly seeking to expand our network to new locations to further our route diversity and global reach. Our network is engineered to move IP traffic to and from end-users as quickly as possible. For this reason Mzima aggressively pursues direct traffic exchange with broadband ISPs around the world.
Internet routing is exceptionally complex and ever-changing. BGP4 routing requires a high degree of specific expertise and knowledge to receive the greatest benefit. This means constant policies analysis and adaptations, responding to security threats, and ongoing route optimization. Our team of routing experts make this their primary focus, allowing customers to focus on their primary business activity, whatever that may be.
