NETWORK SECURITY

Network security has always been one of the key elements that differentiates our
hosting services from other providers. When we built our network, we did not view
security as just a component of the network. We designed the entire network around
our security requirements. This approach led us to build the most scalable security
centered hosting environment available today.
Our network security measures start at the edge of our network. We have installed
Cisco’s Firewall Services Modules in our routers, which provide us with the
fastest firewall throughput in the industry. We have preconfigured security templates
for our dedicated servers that allow you to determine what ports you would like
open to your server. Inside our network the servers are assigned /29 subnets and
placed into a dedicated private VLAN. We then secure each private VLAN from other
clients in the data center to safeguard from potential internal attacks. This is
security threat that many other providers do not have the capability to defend.
An extension to our network security is securing the servers. All of the servers
we deploy are imaged with a hardened Microsoft Windows Server configuration. All
Microsoft updates and security patches are evaluated, tested and installed on all
servers. Additionally, our servers are protected with F-Prot Antivirus which defends
against over 310,000 known viruses, worms and trojans.
