Cisco Powered Network
Every InterPole server is connected to a 100% Cisco Powered Network. Using enterprise-class
Cisco networking gear, all routers, layer-2 switches, and layer-3 switches are
tested in labs prior to deployment to ensure stability and interoperability.
Redundant High Bandwidth Connectivity
Using multiple Tier 1 Service Providers, InterPole leads the discount dedicated
hosting industry with our 99.9% uptime guarantee, ensuring the highest degree
of security against network downtime and the fastest possible data transfers.


Bandwidth Utilization
It is a common misconception that the amounts of bandwidth (size of the pipes
that carry the data) differentiate web hosting companies. In reality it is not
only the size of the pipes that matters, it is the utilization levels. The utilization
of our Internet connections is vital to a network's ability to transfer data
without packet loss or latency. InterPole aims to keep all connection usage
below 50% to avoid any connectivity problems.
Dynamic Routing
InterPole runs the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP4) for best case routing. The
BGP4 protocol is a standard that allows for the routing of packets of information
sent out from our network. Each packet of information is evaluated and sent
over the best route possible. Because of our redundant network architecture,
packets may be sent via alternative routes even if they are being delivered
to the same end user. Should one of our providers fail, packets leaving our
network are automatically redirected through another route via a different provider.

Network Security
The InterPole network is a fully switched network. Traffic destined for a website
hosted on a server is sent only through switching equipment necessary to deliver
the information to that server. This minimizes the risk of someone sniffing
or capturing traffic being sent across the network.
