Network Information

InterSurge Internet's network and carriers are second to none. We trust our servers to nothing less than the highest quality facilities. Our web servers are housed in two state of the art datacenters located in Parsippany, New Jersey, and Dallas, Texas, and use the latest technology to ensure maximum performance and reliability. These networks consist of many diverse paths to provide exellent uptime and redundancy.

Facility #1: NAC Datacenter, Parisppany, NJ

Network Infrastructure:
Our network infrastructure is monitored at the Network Operations Center (NOC) in Parsippany, where experienced technicians are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. NAC guarantees a level of competent service by placing core nodes at locations such as Equinix and Telehouse. All of NAC's core nodes employ SONET networks, which provide a dual-redundant, counter-rotating ring technology and are self-healing in the event of a fiber cut. NAC's circuits are divided among several telecommunications providers, such as Verizon, MFS/Worldcom, and Adelphia. With this combination of superior network and service, we are able to provide a high quality regional network which is on par with many of the nation-wide networks.

Backbone Carriers:
Connections to multiple backbone providers, and peering with many carriers on a regional and international basis, allows us to easily reach remote networks even if a specific backbone connection is down. NAC offers fast, reliable connectivity to the internet via multiple OC-12 connections to over 75 diverse providers, making sure your data can be reached, viewed, updated, and accessed with incredible connectivity and network strength. Current NAC backbone providers include: British Telecom, Schlund, Verio, XO Communications, Allegiance, Broadwing, Cogent, ConXioN, Hurricane Electric, Time Warner, Williams, and AboveNet.

In mid-July 2004, some of our dedicated servers at the NAC datacenter were moved to a brand new facility in Clifton, NJ: Fortress ITX. This facility contains 55,000 square feet of datacenter floor space and offers the latest in cooling, generators, UPS's, security, fire suppression, and more. Features include: 10 20 ton AC units, Biometric Security system, double pre-action fire suppression system, MCI OC48 Full Sonnet Ring, and Dual OC192's. Backbone carriers include MCI, Above.net, Level3, and Global Crossing.

Facility #2: The Planet Datacenter, Dallas, TX

Network Infrastructure:
The Planet's network architecture utilizes the Enterprise routing and switching engines from Juniper and Cisco. We employ Juniper M20 routers as border routers, Cisco 6500 series switches in our distribution layer and Cisco 6500 switches in our aggregation layers. Customer access switches in the datacenter are Cisco 3500 and 2900 series switches designed for maximum performance and uptime availability. The network is fully meshed and redundant with 10 backbone providers running the BGP4 protocol.
