A few months ago we released the SingleHop Private Network! I personally worked around the clock with our Datacenter Operations and Network Operations team in fine-tuning this very useful back-end infrastructure until it was as close to perfection as possible.
Our private network consists of both gigabit networking equipment in each rack and gigabit distribution switches — all supporting oversized payloads in ethernet frames. “Jumbo Frames†in the size of 9000 to be exact! With these increased payloads in each packet, data is delivered faster with nearly 1Gbps of throughput. Traditional network equipment only supports 1500 MTU, so the use of our private network for data synchronization, database replication or even copying daily backups to our backup nodes can now be accomplished 10 times faster than our public network.
We are utilizing the new private network for future multi server solutions, but are also offering a deal for current customers with dedicated servers and wiring them up FREE OF CHARGE!* Everyone should be able to enjoy the better things in life — why not do it at gigabit speeds?
*Private network connections of up to 100mbs only. 1 gbps connections cost $25 per server.
