Advanced Networking offers colocation, rack space, cage space and data center
services in Houston Texas.
Due to Advanced Networking's
downtown Houston location we are located on
multiple power grids enabling us to transfer
between them in the event of failure. During
the last several weather events, including Hurricane
Ike; we never lost power from either grid. The
downtown power grids are state of the art and
designed by Houston to be reliable and available
under the most extreme conditions. In this effort,
they have proven themselves to be just that.
This is the kind of thing money
can't buy but more a product of location. Of
course we have a UPS protected generator power
that will run for 7 days between refueling but
we haven't needed to run it, except for testing.
Beyond our power advantages another major advantage
to our physical location is the location of
a Tier 1 POP in our facility.
Our team manages and maintains
a Tier 1 POP connected directly to the Internet
via Settlement Free Interconnection. A Tier
1 provider choosing such a location for a POP
is evidence of the superior infrastructure at
our location.
What this means to you is that
even in the event that we lose power we have
a direct control and access to our Tier 1 connection
meaning lose of connectivity is not a matter
of chance as it is with others.
Combined with our superior power
and connectivity is our people. We have a staff
of experienced engineers with a long track record
of professional and consulting services at major
corporations. Our engineers are certified in
Cisco, Checkpoint, IronPort, McAfee, Websense,
Sniffer, Microsoft and others. Our engineers
have over 60 years of combined network field
experience ranging from simple router and switch
installs, to complex firewall, VPN, and disaster
recovery solutions, to security vulnerability
assessments and penetration testing.
What this means to you is access
to knowledge and help when you need it and
comfort in solidity of our technical operations
with our Infrastructure
Engineers. We have been personally responsible
for a number of complex networks.
