BlackMesh Network Infrastructure

At BlackMesh, our primary goal is to provide our clients with the most secure and reliable managed hosting options available today. That's why we've designed our solutions using a powerful, flexible infrastructure with state-of-the-art features and capabilities. So, your most important business applications and data can be rapidly and securely accessed by your employees, partners, and customers at any time.

Our world-class Cisco-powered network is built exclusively on hardened routers, switches, and security devices. Additionally, our skilled engineers perform frequently-scheduled audits and conduct around-the-clock monitoring of both the core network and all customer-managed network services. This combination helps guarantee maximum availability, performance, and protection in all our hosting operations.

Our managed hosting network delivers:

High Availability
Today's Internet business solutions require the highest availability, and our core network is engineered to effectively support those demands. We optimize reliability and accessibility with:

  • Bandwidth provisioning to accelerate packet delivery, and efficiently accommodate unexpected activity increases
  • Ongoing network monitoring, so we can immediately add capacity or make other adjustments as needed
  • Connections to multiple backbones and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP4),to efficiently deliver data to end users

Increased Speed and Uptime
Rapid information delivery and 100% uptime are crucial to your ability to realize the true value of your business applications. Our managed hosting network is designed to ensure that data is always routed in the most efficient manner possible. We accomplish this by employing:

  • Cisco routers running HSRP (N+1 hot fail over) to send data via the best route, even in the event of a failure
  • A redundant architecture that can send data via alternative routes, even if it is going to the same end user
  • Dynamic re-directs across several Internet transit paths, to eliminate down time during provider outages, and prevent performance issues during peak periods

Our team of network engineers is constantly adding additional network connectivity and new routes, to ensure fast, uninterrupted content delivery. And, our excess network capacity consistently results in low bandwidth utilization, ensuring maximum uptime, even for high-volume applications.

Advanced Security

We combine advanced security features with stringent policies and procedures, to guarantee the highest level of network security possible, without compromising performance. This includes:

  • Advanced Netscreen and Cisco firewall solutions that are automatically recommended, configured, and deployed by our expert security team, and closely managed, so changes to rule sets can be made to ensure peak performance
  • Virtual Private Network (VPN) access, so you can update content and manage server operations in a highly secure environment
  • Network penetration testing that identifies potential weaknesses in your hosting environment by triggering a battery of standard and non-traditional attack techniques
  • Optional intrusion detection that monitors incoming and outgoing connections to instantly detect suspicious or malicious activity and alert our team of security specialists, who will immediately investigate any issues that arise
