Blended Premium Bandwidth

The challenge in blended internet bandwidth is to provide the best possible Internet connectivity for our colocation and connectivity clients. While performing research to find the best Tier backbones, the AIS network engineering team determined that in order to design the highest bandwidth network with the lowest latency, AIS will need direct connectivity to the best and largest backbones on the internet, plus directly connect the AIS blend to the internet's largest private peering networks. The reason revolves around how the internet works, as the internet is not a single network but rather a network of networks. To get from point A to point B, most internet traffic has to pass from one network to another, often multiple times. When these peering points get congested, traffic backs up. Ultimately, AIS chose to blend AT&T, Global Crossing, Level 3, Savvis, Sprint, Verizon, XO, and set up peering connections (see peering list below) with the Any2 Exchange & Cenic.

IPv6

AIS offers IPv6 support at all data centers and with each blended internet solution. Additionally, clients can request AIS to allocate a block of IPv6 addresses at no additional charge.

Carrier Neutrality

In addition to providing clients point-to-point connectivity or blended bandwidth connections, all AIS data centers are carrier neutral in design. This means that along with the AIS premium bandwidth blend, all AIS clients can connect with the multiple carriers that have decided to build directly into every AIS colocation facility. Services offered by these carriers include direct internet bandwidth, point-to-point connectivity, or transport to another facility. The carriers that currently reside inside AIS data centers include AGL, Cox, AboveNet, AT&T, Cogent, Integra, Level 3, XO, Time Warner, Qwest, Sprint, Salt River Project, TW Telecom, Telepacific & Verizon
