Network Infrastructure is the single most important factor in evaluating
a hosting service. Webvisions continually invests in network equipment, infrastructure and backbone connectivity
in all our Asia-Pacific Data Centers
to ensure that our customers' websites get the fastest possible access to their viewers.
Internal Infrastructure
Webvisions is 100 percent powered by state of the art Cisco switches and
routers. Each of our customer's servers plugs directly into our backbone
via one or more Cisco switches.
Our network runs a variety of Cisco equipment including Cisco Catalyst 6500 series
swtiches and Cisco 7500 Routers. These high
end mission critical equipment will ensure that data gets in and out of
our customers' servers at the fastest possible speed. We plug each server
into our switches instead of HUBs. This is because in a HUB environment,
only one computer plugged into it can
make use of the network at any one time whereas in a switched environment,
every server has a dedicated connection and can access the internet at the same time. This
results in more data being able to travel through a switch at any one
time. In addition, because each computer has its own dedicated connection
via a switch, it makes hacking and snooping of sensitive data alittle more
difficult.
The switches and routers are also configured and designed to run in a totally redundant
infrastructure, ensuring that there is no single point of failure on the backbone.

By connecting to multiple Asia Pacific backbones, Webvisions can
distribute data out quickly to your customers with the quickest possible
time in the shortest possible path. In additional, because we route out
via multiple backbones, we are not dependent on any single point of
failure. In the event of a failure in one circuit, our network
automatically re-routes data to another backbone, thereby ensuring uptime
and redundancy for our customers.
Webvisions also deploys BGP4 (Border Gate Protocol). BGP is used only by
providers with multiple connections to the Internet. BGP enables a
multi-homed provider to setup a truly redundant network. When a failiure
on a leased line is detected, BGP will automatically close that line and
re-route traffic to another connection point.
* Note: Network connectivity and setup may differ from country to country.
It may also change from time to time.
Network Monitoring
Having top of the line network equipment and BGP isn't enough. Webvisions
also employs NOCOL (Network Operations Center Online) and BigBrother to provide 24x7x365
network monitoring. With NOCOL and BigBrother, Webvisions can monitor each connection
point, server or any IP based equipment and escalate a failed system to
the immediate attention of any one of our Network Operations staff
available round the clock in the event of an emergency.
