A network is made up of a large number of interconnected computers. InfoRelay uses its own & others’ network pathways to send data & together these networks make up the world wide web. Networks like AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Cogent, KDDI & others all trade data traffic to make it easy to send information across the world.

Clicking a link or sending an email will launch a data request that may go through 10 different networks [that all play nice together] before it reaches Australia, or China or even the place next door.

InfoRelay’s network bandwidth and internet connectivity is available at its 15 USA data centers and is primarily for businesses, not individuals.

InfoRelay’s network gets internet bandwidth from 10+ providers. Through advanced network engineering, that bandwidth is seamlessly blended and made available to customers. So a customer may have 50% Level3, 25% Cogent and 25% Windstream bandwidth.

By offering multiple bandwidth providers, InfoRelay can guarantee 99.999% (five nines) uptime (less than five minutes/year downtime). The chance of an outage is slim, as all 12 bandwidth providers in the network, or both core routers at each data center must have a simultaneous outage in order for the whole InfoRelay network to go down.

InfoRelay employs BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) technology to ensure any data sent over its network is sent via the most efficient route. BGP also ensures that in the case of an outage, data won’t be lost, rather re-routed to the next shortest path.
