In addition to multiple, redundant backbone connections Magma has invested
significant resources in all facets of its operation.
This class "A" facility is equipped with:
- biometric access control systems and video camera surveillance
- gas fire suppression system and pre-action sprinkler system
- redundant, computer grade air conditioning and humidity control
systems
- massive power distribution system with full UPS backup and
diesel generator
protection
- redundant fiber-based backbone connections to multiple Tier 1 Internet backbone
providers
One of Magma's key success factors has been performance. Magma's
network is one of only a few "multi-homed" ISP networks
in Canada, consisting of redundant backbone connections to
five major backbone providers and two
Internet Exchanges,
the Toronto Internet Exchange (TORIX) and the Ottawa Internet Exchange (Ottix).
The backbone connections include:
- a 155Mbps (OC3) connection to Bell Nexxia.
- a 155Mbps (OC3) connection to Allstream (formerly AT&T Canada).
- a 100Mbps connection to MCI (formerly Worldcom).
- a 100Mbps connection to Sprint Canada
- a 100Mbps connection to Peer1.
- a 100Mbps connection to TORIX.
- a 100Mbps connection to Ottix.
The combination of these backbone connections provides Magma
with aggregate backbone bandwidth of over 810 Mbps!
Magma's Network Operations Center (NOC) is staffed 24x7 by technicians who
monitor Magma's network and services to ensure optimal uptime and performance.
