Fully Redundant Network Operations
Center Capabilities
Unlike most other hosting
providers, The Planet offers 24x7x365 redundant monitoring
capabilities from two Network Operations Center (NOC)
locations, staffed by certified system administrators and
security professionals. Our network management teams operate
NOCs in Houston and Dallas to assure the most sophisticated
and comprehensive systems monitoring, and complete
monitoring back-up in the event of any emergency. We
leverage state of the art network monitoring software
combined with highly defined monitoring and escalation
procedures to ensure the highest standards for security,
reliability, performance and systems availability.
Redundant network cores in multiple
data centers means that if a router or high-level
network appliance goes down for any reason, there is no
loss of service.
Gigabit cross-connects between
multiple data centers assures that data moves quickly.
And if any one data center were to experience network
connectivity issues, it would simply route outgoing data
through other centers.
The Planet ensures that our system automatically measure
the latency of key network routes and sends client data
to the Internet along the best possible route.
High powered network speed and bandwidth When it comes
to network speed and bandwidth, The Planet is second to
none. With an unrivaled 100 gigabits per second speed,
The Planet eliminates bandwidth traffic jams and
roadblocks to assure high volume, instantaneous response
for hosted applications. By using multiple Tier 1
telecom providers and direct Internet connections, we
bypass transit networks and shorten the network path
between your IT infrastructure and your customers. The
result is lower latency, maximum speed, and unsurpassed
reliability. In short, The Planet provides you with the
connectivity, bandwidth and stability you simply can't

The Planet delivers superior connectivity for small and
medium size business by:
Leading the hosting industry in
network bandwidth capacity (100 gigabits/sec)
Always using fully redundant,
world-class routing equipment. Our network is designed
without single points of failure . there are redundant
core routers, core distribution switches, and carrier
diversity. In the unlikely event of equipment failure,
the network will continue to optimally perform
Purchasing bandwidth exclusively from
Tier-1 providers so that our customers don't have to
suffer from poor peering connections, sub-optimal
routing paths, and congested or oversold networks.
Selecting multiple bandwidth
providers, ensuring outages outside of our network never
result in outages in our customers systems
Connecting directly with the
Internet, bypassing transit networks and shortening the
network path between the server, and the end-users
computer. This results in lower latency and maximum
speed.
