Budget Option : Unmetered Network

Thobson offers dedicated server clients and co-location clients the possibility to choose an unmetered 10Mbps or 100Mbps port on a part of its network called the Unmetered Budget Network. Offers identified by that name are connected on a part of our network where we add Cogent^TM as the priority transit provider. The uptime guarantee of the Unmetered Budget Network is of 99.5% instead of 99.9%.

BGP4 and network distribution is sustained by Cisco 6509 switches redundantly installed in the telecommunications room of our datacenter. Entering fiber optic cables are directly plugged into the Cisco hardware that distributes the connection to the different racks and server shelves in our datacenter. Our architecture allows to easily add new suppliers if required.
