In the words of our datacenters:

Equinix

"SoftLayer seamlessly integrates three distinct and redundant gigabit network architectures - public, private, and data center-to-data center - into the industry’s first network-within-a-network topology for maximum accessibility, security, and control."

"With 270 Gbps of connectivity to the Internet, SoftLayer runs one of the largest IP backbones in the US. Our 27 x 10 Gbps diverse connections are spread across 10 of the leading network providers in the US and, in addition, include multiple public peering links to dozens of additional Internet access networks."

"With its multi-homed backbone connectivity, Equinix S-IPC ofers multiple levels of network redundancy, on the physical layer, the transmission layer, and the IP layer. As a result, S-IPC is much more resilient and reliable against a variety of network faults, from fber cuts to hardware device failure, com- pared to a single homed solution. Customers are assured that there is always an alternative path to the Internet."

"Another beneft is that S-IPC provides customers the most optimal route to any given Internet destination. Customers are assured that S-IPC service always fnds an alternative path to the Internet."

"In the S-IPC multi-homed scenario, all the routing choices from diferent backbone networks are presented to the S-IPC customer directly, and the routing decision is always made based on the best path available to a certain destination. The wider selection of higher quality routes ensure S-IPC serves consistently high quality connectivity to its customers."

"As with all other Equinix service oferings, Equinix provides a one-stop-shop solution with the consolidated provisioning, operation, and billing interface for a diverse range of data center services, as such S-IPC customers realize a faster time-to-market interval as well as the ability to react to unforeseen events."
