Hosting network
UKFast's sophisticated network provides the definitive optimised conditions for server hosting that incorporates multi-homing & server load-balancing.
We aggregate bandwidth access from the worlds major suppliers. If you are seeking fast and fail-safe routes to the Internet UKFast delivers the ultimate in speed and reliability.
Advanced connections
Each POP has a minimum of 2 x 100Mb circuits, with MANOC 1® benefiting from a 155Mb STM1 direct link with Telehouse North that comes from a different Telco. This is backed up by a 100Mb layer 2 VLan Ethernet connection from Redbus 1.
In every regional POP, each 100Mb circuit is connected to a different Juniper M7i router. A single router (with its own 100Mb circuit) can provide continuous unaffected service, hence we can tolerate the total loss of a router and/or circuit without issue.
In addition each POP has a redundant UPS system. This means we have two independent UPS's feeding the equipment, so should either UPS fail (or be taken out of service for maintenance) your hosting will not be affected.
London has significant duplication of connectivity spread over 2x Juniper M7i routers and a total of six 7200 series routers in five different buildings connected by dedicated dark fibre. We can tolerate the failure of several devices without it being service affecting, so your server hosting is not disturbed.
Extensive round the clock monitoring of our network routers, circuits and power provide our engineers with early warning alert signals via email, SMS and web interfaces ensuring we have professional on hand expertise 24 hours a day.
