Cintech II

Webvisions is 100 percent powered by state of the art Cisco switches and routers. Each of the customer's servers plugs directly into our backbone via one or more Cisco switches.

Their network runs a variety of Cisco equipment including Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switches and Cisco 7500 Routers. These high end mission critical equipment will ensure that data gets in and out of their customers' servers at the fastest possible speed. Each server is plugged into their switches instead of 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 access the internet 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 a little more difficult.

The switches and routers are also configured and designed to run in a totally redundant infrastructure, ensuring that there is no single point of failure on the backbone.

Having top of the line network equipment and BGP isn't enough. Webvisions also employs NOCOL (Network Operations Center Online) and BigBrother to provide 24x7x365 network monitoring. With NOCOL and BigBrother, 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.
