Leading web hosting provider MaximumASP, LLC (www.maximumasp.com) has selected Global Crossing (www.globalcrossing.com) as a third Tier 1 bandwidth provider
to deliver high bandwidth availability and rapid response times.
The addition of a third bandwidth provider allows MaximumASP customers
to leverage multiple high speed Internet connections through fully
redundant OC-12 SONET-based connections supplied by Qwest, AT&T, and now
Global Crossing. By intelligently routing traffic across these
providers, MaximumASP gives the client the best local and international
network paths, allowing customers to fully maximize the optimal routes
for Internet traffic.
Eric Peek, Director of Security at MaximumASP said, “One
of MaximumASP’s responsibilities is to
anticipate the requirements and growth needs of our customers. A third
internet bandwidth provider ensures even faster response times to and
from our datacenter and a better experience overall for the end user.”
MaximumASP has seen rapid growth with customers that are using the
Internet to distribute software as a service (SaaS), providing on-demand
video over the Web, as well as hosting popular sites that have been
referenced on blog and linking sites such as Digg and Twitter. The need
to rapidly ramp-up bandwidth availability has been a primary requirement
for these customers, and MaximumASP has responded with a flexible
network design that allows quick changes to customer rate limits, a
modular core network that provides easy expansion without customer
downtime, and the addition of bandwidth providers as needed.
Peek also added, “By partnering with Tier 1
providers such as Qwest, AT&T and Global Crossing we are giving our
customers the response times and extensive bandwidth requirements
expected in today’s marketplace. Additionally,
we don’t take shortcuts on performance or
reliability and that’s why we settle for
nothing less than Tier 1 internet bandwidth.”
