Deploy highly scalable tenant network infrastructure for hosting with CTG HOST IT
The best infrastructure in the world won't do you any good if you can't get to it and that comes down to having a quality network connection. Ask potential managed hosting providers how their facilities are connected to the Internet. Ideally they will have multiple high-speed connections, following diverse paths, to providers that are high up on the Internet food chain. Connections to Tier 1 Internet service providers are ideal. The number of peering relationships the provider has with other network providers is another important consideration. Peering is a practice where network providers give each other access to their respective networks to ferry traffic, rather than each paying for the distance it travels on another's network. More peering agreements extends a provider's reach, improves performance by providing multiple routes for traffic, and reduces costs.
