Back-end Network Services

Back-end Network

Our SSAE 16 Audited data centers in Springfield, VA (DCA3), McLean, VA (DCA2), and Seattle, WA (SEA2) provide our dedicated sever customers with the security and cost-effective performance of a dedicated back-end network. This means that every customer who orders a server with us will have their own dedicated VLAN and IP space that they can use to communicate between their servers as well as to access various key services provided by Superb. Best of all, Back-end Network is a FREE service to our valued customers.

Back-end Network for your Servers

By having your own dedicated network among your servers, you get the following business-critical benefits to your hosted infrastructure:

Security
Having a dedicated VLAN and subnet means that no other customers can access your data as it crosses the network. This offers a more secure environment as all internal traffic is visible only to your own servers.

Quality of Service (QoS)
Using a back-end network for various administration tasks, such as backup, provides greater quality of service on your primary internet connection. High throughput applications like full backups don't interfere with front-end website operations or any other client/server traffic that forms the core of your business.

Unmetered Access
The internal network does not count against your bandwidth allocation, so data copied between your servers or communications between your app server and database server is not billed as part of your bandwidth quota. Additionally, we provide various services to our customers across the back-end network. These services include DNS, backups, and various operating system patch repositories. Use of these services (like the internal communications above) is also unmetered and does not count against your monthly bandwidth quota.
