American Data Center Facility
HostCentric in Fremont, California, USA
The network capacity of our data centers exceeds 2.5 Gigs of Internet connectivity via DS3, OC3, OC12 and Gigabit Ethernet connections to a wide variety of peer points and several transit providers.
As a valued web hosting client of Bright Path Media, you will enjoy all the benefits of our state-of-the-art data center located in Fremont, California, and owned by the well-known US company, Peer1 (formerly HostCentric), which also provides the physical environment necessary to keep the servers up and running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The network architecture utilizes the Enterprise routing and switching engines from Juniper and Cisco. We utilize Juniper M20 routers as border routers, Cisco 6500 series switches in our distribution layer and Cisco 6500 switches in our aggregation layers, and Cisco 3500 and 2900 series switches at the customer layer. Our network is fully meshed and redundant with 9 backbone providers.
As a Tier 1 ISP, the owner of the data center where our servers are co-located, has established extensive public and private peering relationships. Peer points currently include the Pacific Bell NAP and the Palo Alto Internet Exchange. BGP4 is used for optimal route selection and automatic fail over. The data center “Cisco Powered Network” relies on redundant Cisco 12000 series routers and 6500 series switches at its core, and can be made fully redundant all the way down to the servers.
