100TB datacenter map
Our network structure is built around what we do: hosting secure servers with operations divided between front- and back-end traffic. Compare this to a typical hosting network structure not built to discriminate between private and public activity. A generic, one-size-fits-all approach to hosting servers sacrifices efficiency and security by not separating network traffic by purpose.
