$15 million dollars was invested in American Internet Services (AIS)'
state-of-the-art, carrier neutral Internet Data Center. It is equipped with the
latest technologies and stands alone as San Diego's premier facility. We provide
redundant hardware and network infrastructure, 24 x 7 x 365 network monitoring and management, technical
support, power backup, and redundant air conditioning systems.
Our dual Cisco 12000(GSR) Gigabit Service Routers backbone routers provide multi-path connectivity to the backbone. Additional
Cisco 7500 series aggregation routers provide connectivity to our T1, DS3, DSL and higher
bandwidth clients.
Our Cisco Catalyst 6500 enterprise switching/router
hardware supports full supervisor capabilities, QOS monitoring, and enhanced
TOS switching. Our redundant AC and DC power systems include triple redundant 500KVA Power Ware UPSs and 2 Megawatt Generator by Caterpillar.
We understand
the critical nature of security for our customer's equipment and have
implemented a comprehensive policy for your protection. Key elements of this
policy include; manned Data Center 24 x 7 x 365, digital security cameras with
motion detection, client defined access lists, biometric hand scanners, access
validation with identity and a triple interlock early warning fire system with
VESDA.
High-Speed Low Latency Connectivity: AIS's priority is attending to the speed, latency issues and packet loss issues that surround Internet connectivity. Whether you are establishing T1/DS3/OC3 connectivity, web hosting, or utilizing
colocation, services we have engineered the fastest and most reliable
network and backbone connections that your money can buy! This high-speed, low latency connectivity
provides a platform for the latest in communications technology such as voice over IP and
video conferencing.
The Challenge: Our challenge was and is to provide the best possible
connectivity for our clients. In our research to find the best tier one backbones, we determined that all of them were...and that none of them were. In order to design the highest bandwidth, lowest latency network, we needed direct connectivity to the 6 largest backbones on the Internet. The reason revolves around how the Internet works. The Internet isn't a single network, but rather a network of networks. To get from point A to point B, most Internet traffic has to pass from one network to another, often multiple times. When these "peering points get congested, traffic backs up.
A secondary challenge has been to educate customers on the latest technologies and help them separate the hype from reality. There are several other ISP's out there claiming to have the best, fastest and most reliable network. We assist our customers in peeling away the layers of technology hype to get to the real truth about how the Internet works and how they can best utilize technology to take advantage of it.
The Solution: We have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in backbone and routing equipment and designed a network that out-performs all others.
Most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) use Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) technology to determine the best route for traffic over the Internet. American Digital Network goes beyond what BGP can do.
Our solution provides a self-healing IP network that solves congestion and latency issues common to standard BGP routed backbones. We do this with the latest routing technology and infrastructure designed to exceed the built-in limitations of BGP. This new, but proven, technology provides our network with direct, ultra-low latency access to each of our 6 major Internet backbones.
Our six backbone connections virtually eliminate congestion and packet loss of your data that is commonly experienced by other ISPs. Our routing technology predetermines the fastest possible path between the data sender and the receiver, and routes the data accordingly. Our intelligent routing engine monitors the top 15,000 routes used by our network each minute and automatically determines the best route for your Internet traffic. These routes are updated 10,000 times per minute. And, because of our built-in redundancy, self-healing capabilities, fault tolerance of our network infrastructure, and automatic traffic routing around congestion, we are largely unaffected by major Internet backbone outages.
This makes our network a perfect match for demanding customers that require the highest performance in their Internet connectivity. These customer types include: voice over IP, gaming, database synchronization, video conferencing and anyone that needs high performance network connectivity. Furthermore, this performance can be proven, please ask your sales representative for additional information.
