Co-Location
GigeNET operates its own 17,000 sq. ft. private data facility. Instead of leasing space from a third-party wholesaler, we have built and maintain our own facility. This affords us the flexibility to expand, strict cost controls, higher security standards, and overall
better facility management.
With several Tier 1 premium bandwidth providers delivered through strategically diverse points to our private datacenter, GigeNET's 100% uptime network provides the performance and reliability that you expect for your hosting infrastructure. Redundant Juniper routers
direct traffic over our private fiber optic network, delivering it to your servers on Cisco's 6500 series switching platform. In addition, a partnership with Internap provides routing optimization that reduces network latency by up to 50% compared to standard BGP routing protocols.

Server Virtualization
In a traditional server environment, individual physical servers are dedicated to specific tasks. Services such as HTTP, SQL, FTP, LDAP, DNS, and file storage all run on separate physical machines where each machine may only utilize 20-50% of its available resources.
With virtualization technology, a single physical server can provide multiple virtual environments, completely separated from each other and still dedicated to a particular task. Now you can reduce the number of physical servers in half, or even more, fully utilizing
each physical server and reducing your hosting costs significantly.
R1Soft CDP Backup
Deploying a solution for reliable data continuity can be a complex task. GigeNET's R1Soft CDP backup solution provides fully managed near-continuous backups for all of your servers. Compatible with both Windows & Linux operating systems, the CDP agent runs as a
background service, sending real-time disk level snapshots to a redundant storage array.
- Compatible with Windows & Linux
- Multiple restore points, as often as 5 minutes apart
- Backup unlimited GigeNET servers
- Backup servers in other datacenters
