Our Network
Cisco
Powered Network
Akira Web is pleased to announce that its network is exclusively powered
by Cisco Systems. Cisco networking equipment is renowned for its exceptional
performance, reliability, and scalability, which ensures that we can provide
a flexible and high-quality network to meet your needs.
The core of our network is powered by a Cisco Systems 12000 series GSR
(Gigabit Switch-Router), which is specifically designed to meet the demanding
needs of today high-traffic networks. The core network is connected via
Gigabit Ethernet to the edge network, which is 100-percent switched by
Cisco Catalyst 3500 and 6500 series equipment. 100Mbps Ethernet switching
at the edge ensures high performance is achieved by all servers.
Connectivity
Akira Web makes
full use of redundancy, to ensure that there is no single point of failure
in our connectivity to the Internet. We utilize multiple links to the
Internet, which currently consists of multiple Gigabit Ethernet fiber
backbones into a range of Tier 1 and 2 networks. Our transit providers
include Verio, Global Crossing, MFN/Abovenet, Level3, He.net and the PAIX
(Palo Alto Internet eXchange). This level of connectivity ensures that
a high level of reliability and redundancy is maintained by Akira Web. Our
unmatched uptime guarantee ensures that your content always arrives to
your audience, when they want it.
Capacity
Akira Web network
is currently under-utilized, which signifies that we have plenty of excess
capacity, even during peak periods. This allows us to accommodate for
large spikes in traffic, which is often associated with most popular websites.
We are always adding network capacity, in an effort to ensure that content
is delivered to your audience as efficiently as possible.
Real-Time
Monitoring
Akira Web uses
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) to monitor all aspects of our
network. Network utilization statistics are collected and graphed by industry-standard
MRTG (Multi-Router Traffic Grapher), then analyzed by our support staff.
Monitoring is conducted around-the-clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
365 days a year.
This unparallel
combination provides you more control in managing the communication needs
of your enterprises.
