Webvisions has one of the best connected Internet Data Centers in the Asia-Pacific. We have invested a great deal in both network equipment, infrastructure and backbone connectivity to ensure that our customers' websites get the fastest accessible possible to their viewers.






Internal Infrastructure

Webvisions is 100 percent powered by state of the art Cisco switches and routers. Each of our customer's servers plugs directly into our Cisco Catalyst 5509 swtiches and Cisco 7709 Routers. These high end mission critical equipment will ensure that data gets in and out of our customers' servers at the fastest possible speed. We plug each server into our core switches instead of secondary switches or HUBs. This is because in a HUB environment, only one computer plugged into it can make use of the network at any one time whereas in a switched environment, every server has a dedicated connection and can at the same time. This results in more data being able to travel through a switch at any one time. In addition, because each computer has its own dedicated connection via a switch, it makes hacking and snooping of sensitive data alittle more difficult.

External Infrastructure

Webvisions currently has multiple ATM & Fibre connections to the following providers:

• A-Bone (Asia Pacific Back Bone) via a 100mbps fibre link to Pacific Internet
• SingNET/Singtel - 24MB
• SOX (Singapore Open Exchange) - 10mb
• Reach Internet Services (formerly Cable & Wireless) - 3MB
• Qala - 3MB
• an OC-3 ATM link from Singapore ONE broadband network.

We plan to add more connectivity to our data centers as we grow.

By connecting to multiple Asia Pacific backbones, Webvisions can distribute data out quickly to your customers with the quickest possible time in the shortest possible path. In additional, because we route out via multiple backbones, we are not dependent on any single point of failure. In the event of a failure in one circuit, our network automatically re-routes data to another backbone, thereby ensuring uptime and redundancy for our customers.

Webvisions also deploys BGP4 (Border Gate Protocol). BGP is used only by providers with multiple connections to the Internet. BGP enables a multi-homed provider to setup a truly redundant network. When a failiure on a leased line is detected, BGP will automatically close that line and re-route traffic to another connection point.

Network Monitoring

Having top of the line network equipment and BGP isn't enough. Webvisions also employs NOCOL (Network Operations Center Online) to provide 24x7x365 network monitoring. With NOCOL, Webvisions can monitor each connection point, server or any IP based equipment and escalate a failed system to the immediate attention of any one of our Network Operations staff available round the clock in the event of an emergency.
