Network
and Datacenter
Terapower's
VPS servers are housed in the 25,000 sq.ft AtlantaNAP datacenter in
Atlanta, Georgia. We strive to provide the most reliable network by
utilizing the best equipment consisting of Cisco with gigabit
connections to Savvis, Telia, PCCW-BTN, and Global Crossing.
The
AtlantaNAP utilizes the
Avaya Route Science route optimizer to ensure the highest performance
routing to your VPS versus normal BGP. While normal BGP simply looks at
how many hops from internet user to your VPS, the route science system
traces back to the internet user up to 7,000 times a minute identifying
any problematic areas such as speed, packetloss, amount of hops than re-routing
the connection to ensure the fastest possible route to your VPS.
