Virtual Networks

Website Hosting

Virtual Network operates out of two datacenters in the US located in Clifton, New Jersey and down town Los Angeles. All datacenters provide the ideal physical environment to keep your sites running without any interruptions.

New Jersey Network

Data Center NJ resides in Clifton, NJ, just 14 miles from New York City. This new facility boasts enormous growth potential allowing  capabilities of up to 55,000 sq ft of pure datacenter floor space, and ease of access to backbone providers. Currently, the facility incorporates over 7,500 sq ft of completed raised floor data center space, along with 5000 sq ft of corporate office space which includes a front reception area, conference rooms, and ample space for  employees.

The new datacenter has been carefully planned from inception to overcompensate for such factors as cooling, generators, UPS's, secondary generators, fire suppression, and much, much more. The new facility has been set in place with 7,500 sq ft of raised flooring, 8 (eight) 20 ton AC units and double pre-action fire suppression system. The datacenter is powered by a Liebert UPS system and a Caterpillar generator with 4 days of standby fuel. The datacenter is monitored 24/7/265 by an overlapping array of CCTV cameras and datacenter entry is secured by both biometric and card key access.

Network & Datacenter Info

Our network runs on it's own dark fiber ring connecting  two redundant pops in 111th NYC and 165 Halsey (Equinix) NJ. Each fiber leg is capable of handling our entire networks traffic in case of a failure. Each leg can upgraded to provide transport capacities up to 320Gbps totaling 640Gbps of available transport capacity. Our core consists of Dual Cisco 6509 SUP720 Routers, fully meshed to multiple aggregation switches for maximum uptime. Our multi-homed network is fueled by premium tier 1 carriers Above.net, NLayer (GlobalCrossing), coming soon are Level3 and NYIIX peering.

Los Angeles Network

Our network is comprised of two Cisco 6509s with 10G uplinks running at the core. The 6509's are fully redundant and running iBGP and HSRP. If one fails, the other is able to take on the full load of the network.

The Network has multiple gigE fiber optic (1000Mbit/s) connections from the worlds leading telecommunications companies. With multiple GigE connections, this allows for the high bandwidth that is required for even the most bandwidth intensive programs needed to stay competitive in the ever changing World Wide Web.

There is also public and private peering argreements with over 400 ISPs all over the world. We get our IP transit Global Crossing, Mzima, Internap and PCCW via multiple gigabit fiber uplinks to our core routers/switches. If all but 1 provider fails, there is no change to our network, as we can serve our full client base with one provider, as we leave that much room on every connection. The core switches are connected to two seperate distribution switches (2 cisco 3560-E 10G switches). From the distribution switches, we connect to an edge switch (Cisco 3500 series). Each cabinet is pre-wired and connected to our main distribution cabinet, so it's plug and play. Each cabinet has it's own switch, as we prefer a layer 2 switch in each cabinet.

All of the servers are hooked up to APC remote reboot ports in the event that they lockup for any reason. All of the servers are protected by state-of-the-art hardware firewalls, where we have Cisco PIX for the network, as well as additional software firewalls for the servers. Everything is logged and routinely scanned by our system administrators.

Datacenter Security

Security to the building is 24/7 and you cannot get inside the elevator lobby without being on an Access List. If you do not have any form of identification, you will not be allowed to go into the elevator lobby.

There are multiple cameras which record all the entering and exciting of the building. Security is tight.

Once you pass through security, you will go up to the appropriate floor. Outside our suite, we have a a key card system as well as video monitoring. Everything is taped and recorded to a DVR. We record all points of entry to and from our suite as well as the datacenter itself.

Within the datacenter, it has a NOC (Network Operations Center) and the doors to the datacenter are locked. You cannot go into the datacenter without special keys, even if you are in our suite, as the doors are locked from the inside.

If you want to take any equipment out of the datacenter, it has to be signed off by our staff (property removal form) to ensure no property is ever taken without our consent.
