"The computing and information systems industry is moving toward numerous companies that produce top quality database, data-mining and other software backends. We believe the future of the computing industry is in the yet untapped market of integrating the best of the new backend technologies with a platform-independent interface. Doing this in such a way that it will allow a wide audience to exchange data on virtually any computer will help businesses to work better, faster, cheaper and more efficiently. This is our vision. We intend to be the best (hiring individuals with the best and the brightest minds)--to provide not just a good solution to a business’s needs, but the right solution!."
The mission statement has remained unchanged since company's inception in 1997, and it has served us well. We remain true to this vision, and well be glad to help improve your business.

The fully redundant BGP network that provides our bandwidth leverages Equinix's roll as IP network hub. This network has multiple gigabit and 10-gigabit connections to the following network carriers:
In addition to using BGP to manage network connectivity, the network utilizes Internap’s Flow Control Platform to enhance network traffic delivery. The FCP technology not only evaluates the network connection to each peer, but also traces the top network destinations across each available provider to ensure the best possible route is taken. This minimizes the chances of connectivity issues between your content and your customer.
