Our Network: Secure and Reliable

Internap Network Services

W3 HOSTING uses Internap Network Services to offer the most secure and reliable network available.

Internap recognizes that the demands made on networks have changed dramatically over the years. Once used for email transmission and basic information retrieval, the Internet now supports complex business applications such as networking, electronic commerce, video conferencing and voice communication.

These continually developing technologies require high quality networks for consistent, high-speed data transfer. Networks orignally designed for simpler tasks have not adapted well to growing demands. Inherent inefficiences in conventional routing practices, protocols and technologies have caused inconsistant network performance.

Internap's Network Optimization Technology is a powerful solution to these challenges. Their technology provides a fully redundant infrastructure for business-critical applications, as well as access to network-based optimization solutions.

All W3 HOSTING solultions give you the full benefits of Internap's network consolidation. Your applications can be deployed faster, with priority given to time-sensitive applications as needed. Plus, networks are better measured, understood and easily controlled. Ultimately, this allows your company to improve customer service, advance supply chain management and increase employee productivity.
