The Planet's data centres are among the best-connected hosting facilities in the world. Our data centres are implemented through a high-speed network specifically designed for dedicated server hosting. The Planet has invested in both network equipment and backbone connections to ensure that customers get the fastest access possible to their content and applications.

Network specifically designed for dedicated server.

The Planet's data centres have multiple network connections to different Internet backbones, allowing data to be distributed though many sources - meaning that The Planet's network is not dependent upon any single Internet backbone.

The Planet internal network architecture utilizes the Enterprise routing and switching engines from Juniper and Cisco. We utilize Juniper M20 routers as border routers, Cisco 6500 series switches in our distribution layer, Cisco 6500 and 5500 switches in our aggregation layers, and Cisco 3500 and 2900 series switches at the customer layer. Our network is fully meshed and redundant with 6 backbone providers. Our current network consists of, UUNet (GigE), Level 3 (GigE), Time Warner (GigE), Global Crossing (GigE), Verio (GigE), and ATT (DS3).
