Sites Hosting is located in one of the most popular data center in New
Jersey. Sites Hosting's servers are located in
one of the largest and most fault tolerant networks in the New Jersey
region. Our connections to Internet backbones are maintained at redundant
data centers located in NJ and NYC, connecting directly to most of the
major networks including Sprint, UUNET, Cable & Wireless (formerly MCI),
PSI, Global Center, Savvis, AOL, Exodus, and many others. Our network
infrastructure is monitored at the Network Operations Center (NOC) in
Parsippany, NJ, staffed by our experienced technicians 24 hours a day, 7
days a week. 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.
Having a connection to a single
backbone (such as UU Net, MCI, Agis, or Sprint) simply means that you are
relying on this backbone for all of your transit. They will be taking your
traffic to the destination, or the nearest NAP (Network Access Point). The
problem lies in the fact that they can only be as reliable as the
telephone companies they use (AT&T, Sprint, WorldCom, MFS, Bell, etc.),
the equipment they use (Cisco, Bay, Cascade), or, just as importantly, how
knowledgeable their people are. Network outages occur all the time, for
varying reasons, and there will probably never be a time when they don't
occur.
Network monitoring is one of the
first priory at Sites Hosting. Network is monitored 24x7x365 using an
advanced off-site monitoring service. Our site administrations are
notified by Email, Pager, Phone and an audible alarm.
