DATA CENTER
The datacenter is a key point in an internet services provider. It is where all the servers are located.
It is essential to have strict security, the best internet access and trusty electrical sources to avoid problems with server and network systems power.
Key points of gritonet technical infrastructure are:
Network (click for more information)
All gritonet network core is built around Juniper and Cisco gear and gigabit Ethernet. gritonet is connected to the internet through Cogent and Interoute using BGP4 and has it own AS allowing complete management of routes and IP addressing. At the same time, all the core network is redundant, with a minimal convergence time thanks to the use of advanced internal routing protocols (OSPF).

Currently, gritonet guarantees a network availability of 99.9% (although current availability is much higher. Logically, with the installed infrastructure, the objective availability is 100%, but there can always be some uncontrollable factor in place. At gritonet we strongly believe that anyone promising 100% uptime is probably lying; unfortunately there are things that NO company in the world can control and affect availability.)
