our network

The key to providing reliable, efficient hosting lies in choosing the right data centre and the right wholesale provider (no, we're not going to pretend we're big enough to have our own multi- million dollar facility - that would just prove we couldn't offer the premium, personalised service that is the PrimePixel trademark).

However, we've been in this business long enough, both as consumers and as suppliers, to know top-class wholesalers operating from top-class data centres are almost impossible to find. We found ours, which is why you're here - we would never have "gone public" without one.

data centres

PrimePixel operates servers in multiple locations for redundancy and easy restoration of services should the unthinkable (and, frankly, unimaginable) happen.

Our main offerings are based out of Sydney's impressive Global Switch data centre, featuring security and technological advancement virtually unparalleled in the Southern Hempishere to ensure clients get the reliability and efficiency they deserve and expect from a premium-quality hosting firm. The centre features:

• Minimum N+1 Redundancy on Power Supplies

• On-site diesel tanks (360kL) with full-capacity generator fall- back in case of extended power failure.

• State-of-the-art cooling system.

• Sophisticated fire detection and suppression.

• Our Servers in this facility are linked via premium bandwidth based on multiple peering arrangements, ensuring consistent, speedy access to the wider internet.

We also operate servers out of AAPT's Glebe data centre, a truly impressive, high-reliability facility which offers premium bandwidth, and features similar to Global Switch including:

• AAPT's National Voice and Data Network, boasting 89 national points of presence, and ensuring exceptional pan-Australian connectivity.

• Complete climate control, UPS and redundant diesel-based electric generation facilities.

• Direct connections to the Internet backbone via Ethernet, unleashing impressive traffic-handling capabilities.

Network quality also plays a major role in your hosting experience. Key features of our supplier's network infrastructure include:

• Premium bandwidth provided by AAPT, Pipe and Agile, empowering network redundancy, ensuring extremely low domestic latency, and providing optimal international connectivity.

• Each server is connected to the network at 100 Mbps, ensuring bandwidth bursts are available whenever required.

• Use of only the highest quality network equipment; routing is accomplished using industry-leading Cisco routersand switches, with completely redundant Cisco router and switch "spares" available for immediate installation in the extremely unlikely event of a catastrophic network hardware failure.

• Network security is provided by a combination of active system administration and proprietary tools. Every server is protected by a firewall, as well as an array of brute-force detection, anti-virus, and anti-SPAM tools.
