More Carriers, 100+ Gbit/sec of Capacity, 10TB Now Included - Steadfast, Chicago

We have all sorts of great news, all on the bandwidth/connectivity front, so I have put it all in one post:

Tata Has Been Added to our Network

We have now added Tata Communications to our network, adding a 10 GigE to them out of Chicago with a 10 GigE getting added in New York over the coming months. Tata Communications was added to our network due to their very strong connectivity to India as well as other developing countries and markets. Since they acquired Teleglobe, they have continued to expand their presence into many markets under-served by other carriers, giving us better overall global connectivity. Tata Communications is also a Tier 1 global carrier and, according to Renesys, is one of the top 8 global IP networks in the world. This now means that we connect to 6 of the 8 largest IP networks in the world, Level3/Global Crossing, NTT, Inteliquent, Cogent, and now Tata. Along with our InterNAP FCP we feel that this network mix, along with our hundreds of direct peering relationships, gives us one of the highest performing networks in the industry. Combine that with our 100% network uptime SLA and we doubt you'll find a better quality network product anywhere.

100+ Gbit/sec of Network Connectivity

With the addition of Tata, as well as a new Inteliquent circuit in New York, our network now has 113 Gbit/sec of capacity to the Internet. This capacity allows us to serve the needs of even the largest demands for capacity and scalability, while assuring we do not see any of the negative affects of network congestion, even during large traffic spikes.

10 TB Included with All Servers

With our ever growing network, we are now able to offer 10 TB of bandwidth included with every single dedicated server. We are still providing entirely free and unmetered incoming bandwidth, meaning that the vast majority of our customers will never need to worry about bandwidth overages.

We have come a long way in the last 15 years, but network performance has always been a major focus of ours, and hopefully our ever-growing and expanding network is a good demonstration of that commitment.
