All of our equipment is housed at the NTT/Verio datacenter in Virginia. Verio Network Services help you minimize downtime, maximize site performance and enhance the end-user experience. Our services ensure that whether you transmit static content or rich, streaming media, it takes the fastest, smartest and most cost-efficient path with fewer hops, less packet loss and decreased delays.

What can the Layerblue network do for your enterprise?

- Maintain network availability through router redundancy
- Save money using our data center IT staff to install and maintain your equipment
- Reduce bandwidth charges by using a powerful secondary network for server-to-server traffic
- Speed end-user download time through smart routing that optimizes server use during peak load times
- Exceptional connectivity and data transport via the powerful NTT/VERIO Global IP Network

Redundant Uplink gives you network redundancy using Cisco Systems Hot Standby Router Protocol. It provides our network with redundancy using two uplinks to two diverse routers - one active, one passive. Multiple routers share the same IP and MAC address. Should one router fail, the host on the LAN will continue to forward packets to a consistent IP and MAC address, transferring routing responsibilities from one device to another.

How great is the reach of this enterprise class network?

We have access to multiple redundant peer connections through many premiere class datacenters located worldwide. Look for yourself at just how massive the NTT/Verio reach extends both in the US and overseas. Click either of the maps above to view this expansive, multi homed network.

Server Features

The type and model of Dell PowerEdge servers that we use depend on it's function. For example our SQL database servers need more power than web servers so we use Dell PowerEdge 6650 servers with a minimum of 4Gb of SDRAM and dual XEON processors.

For web servers we use the Dell PowerEdge 1750. These high performance rack dense servers have proven to be highly reliable. All web servers have a minimum 1.4Ghz processors with 2Gb of SDRAM or higher. The 1750 has proven to be an excellent web server and due to the high density we are able to use more servers per rack than traditional 2U or 4U rack mounted servers.

Email, SSL and other critical servers use the robust and powerful Dell PowerEdge 2650 servers. We also deploy Dell PowerEdge 1650 and Dell PowerEdge 1550 for various other systems and servers.
