The Fully Redundant Advantage:

Paralox operates one of the most sophisticated and redundant networks in the dedicated hosting industry. When you purchase a new dedicated server from Limestone and it is placed online, you will see firsthand the Paralox Fully Redundant Advantage.

Your server if first connected, via two NICs, to a switch on our network. The switch is connected to two cores. The cores form an interlocking mesh of connectivity with two border routers on the front-end of our network. Both cores are not only connected to both border routers, but also to each other. Between the core and the border routers, there are a total six bundled connections which each consist of at least 2+ strands of fiber with automatic failover between the fiber pairs. The bundled configuration allows us to scale the internal network infinitely by simply adding more fiber pairs to the bundle. The border routers are then linked to the internet via multiple tier 1 transit providers.

The result?

Peace of mind that your server is situated on a highly reliable network.

    

Paralox Private Tunnel

Paralox's Private Tunnel is a free, unmetered and secure connection between all of your servers within our datacenter. This connection allows you to cluster your machines without the worry of sharing sensitive data over the public Internet, or running up a large bandwidth bill.

Unmetered and secure bandwidth between your servers...
Paralox keeps you connected in two different ways. Every dedicated server has two ethernet cards in it. The first links the server to the outside world via our fiber providers. The second ethernet card links the server into a backend router we have on our network, a LAN type of setup.

What is the advantage?

The advantage is that if you have more than one server, using one as, say, a load balancer and two database nodes, they can transfer information between the three servers without sending any information over the public Internet. This configuration offers our clients a secure backend network over which they can transfer and communicate between servers without wasting any of their bandwidth and without risking exposure of sensitive data to the Internet.
