This revolutionary design gives system administrators unfettered access for total management over their server environments without exposure to external threats. Our network is built from best-in-class networking infrastructure, hardware, and software with exceptional bandwidth and connectivity for the highest speed and reliability. * Indicates Premium Service Public Network Private Network VPN Access for Server Management Load * * Firewall Server Balancer * * * * Network Security iSCSI NAS Online Backup OS Update Security DNS Resolvers Internet 1 Gbps SSL VPN PPTP VPN IPSEC VPN Edge MPLS Router Out-of-Band Management Network Key Advantages Secure, Out-of-Band Private Network Our proprietary network topology provides VPN server access via dedicated, non-public carriers, keeping “backend” server access completely off limits to external traffic and allowing secure transfer of sensitive data. The Private Network provides unlimited bandwidth, allowing data transfer and management with no impact to public bandwidth. Best-in-Class Infrastructure We leverage industry-standard hardware and software solutions from the industry’s top network and security technology vendors to provide exceptional performance, reliability, protection, and scalability. High-Speed, Redundant Connectivity Our network provides maximum performance throughout its entire architecture. Each server rack features 40G of connectivity, for a level of redundancy and throughput ideal for intensive applications including grid, clustering, and high performance computing. Dedicated 10G fiber connections between our geographically diverse data centers provides high-speed throughput with low latency. Hardware Firewalls Our hardware firewall solutions can be provisioned on demand without service interruptions for additional and immediately scalable server security. Firewalls are fully managed through our convenient Customer Portal. Load Balancing Our enterprise-class load balancing solution utilizes industry-standard techniques (including round-robin, lowest latency, least connections, shortest response, and IP persistence) to balance traffic among two or more servers, even between geographically diverse data centers. It can be instantly activated and ready to configure, and servers can be added to or removed from the balancing pool on-demand with no downtime. Three Fully Networked Data Centers Our data centers located in Dallas, Seattle, and Washington D.C., are built with SoftLayer’s unique pod data center design concept. Each is functionally independent with distinct and redundant resources, and fully integrated through SoftLayer’s revolutionary network architecture, allowing seamless intra-data center capabilities. © 2009 SoftLayer Technologies, Inc. 09SLT021 rev120109
