We use them for all our hosting, and they are incredible. Like having your own System Administrator. Send me an email if you want an introduction. Scott Martin,

Halligan Sat, 21 Oct 2006 17:36:38 +0000 http://martinjwells.wordpress.com/2006/10/21/more-servers/#comment-180 Marty.. Just wanted to say Welcome Aboard to the BitPusher express! BTW, our network is somewhat better than mere Tier-1 providers. A tier-1 provider, by definition is an ISP that owns it's own transport mechanism (fiber) and does not purchase any private peering. This approach ends up becoming rather limited in terms of it's routing capability, given the # of isps who don't do much public peering. Our main bandwidth provider is <a HREF="http://www.internap.com/" rel="nofollow">Internap</A>. Internap's model is not to build a routing infrastructure in each datacenter it's in, and buy bandwidth from all of the providers at that datacenter. Internap then acquires a new AS number for that datacenter, and then uses some pretty sophisticated route optimization combined with BGP. The end result is that their routing ROCKS! Marty..
