Redundant High Bandwidth Connectivity
Using multiple Tier 1 Service Providers, Matrax.com leads the discount dedicated hosting industry with our 99.9% uptime guarantee, ensuring the highest degree of security against network downtime and the fastest possible data transfers.

Bandwidth Utilization
It is a common misconception that the amounts of bandwidth (size of the pipes that carry the data) differentiate web hosting companies. In reality it is not only the size of the pipes that matters, it is the utilization levels. The utilization of our Internet connections is vital to a network's ability to transfer data without packet loss or latency. Matrax.com aims to keep all connection usage below 50% to avoid any connectivity problems.

Dynamic Routing
Matrax.com runs the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP4) for best case routing. The BGP4 protocol is a standard that allows for the routing of packets of information sent out from our network. Each packet of information is evaluated and sent over the best route possible. Because of our redundant network architecture, packets may be sent via alternative routes even if they are being delivered to the same end user. Should one of our providers fail, packets leaving our network are automatically redirected through another route via a different provider.

Network Security
The Matrax.com network is a fully switched network. Traffic destined for a website hosted on a server is sent only through switching equipment necessary to deliver the information to that server. This minimizes the risk of someone sniffing or capturing traffic being sent across the network. Furthermore, Matrax.com vigorously prosecutes persons who generate malicious attacks on our internal network.

Carrier Class
Our facility is a carrier-neutral site and is built completely on computer-grade raised flooring; it is built for dedicated server hosting with redundant fibre entry points.

Regulated Climate Control
The data center's HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) system is N+1 redundant. With full particle filtering and humidity control, the environment is maintained at a cool 68 degrees to ensure a comfortable environment for your server.

Power Systems
Matrax.com is not reliant upon the local power grid to guarantee maximum uptime. Our on-site, auto-switched power generator and centralized UPS systems provide power conditioning and ensure uninterrupted data center operation. Additionally, the generator is regularly tested to ensure that it will continue to function in the event of an emergency

Datacenter Security
The data center is physically isolated from everyone but level three technicians. Public access is strictly forbidden. Access to the floor the datacenter resides on is restricted and completely locked down.
