"multiple high speed links to multiple providers"
 

2day.com provides premium data centre services for secure and reliable dedicated and virtual server hosting and shared hosting services. Located in the Auckland CBD, the data centre provides direct access to more than 200 networks.

  • High speed connectivity with multiple fibre-optic backbone links
  • High performance 100Mbps switch port
The ICONZ data centre is carrier-neutral and overcomes the limitations of existing data centres, network and Internet operations through direct interconnection to a large aggregation of networks for unmatched service diversity, flexibility and reliability.

The ICONZ data centre is fully redundant with multiple Telco’s terminating to the ICONZ network. As ICONZ is a Telco-independent company, we have every business Telco terminating onto our network including Telecom, TelstraClear, Vector Communications, CityLink, Kordia and IPSTAR.

A very unique aspect of doing business with 2day is the ability to employ a network strategy that can both substantially lower overall bandwidth costs while increasing performance. The ICONZ data centre is peered with the ICONZ IP Core at 100Mbits/sec.

The ICONZ IP core is a dual redundant symmetrical network core, based on switching and routing equipment from Cisco Systems and Juniper Networks. Edge connectivity to the global internet is via multiple upstream providers, and is peered via BGPv4. Domestic connectivity (inter-city within New Zealand) is similarly protected via multiple dual-redundant providers and is peered via OSPF.

 

Open Peering

2day is protected at both of the main neutral peering exchanges (APE and WIX) and also has direct peering arrangements with all other major ISP’s and many large corporations and site-hosting companies.

As 2day believes data should take the shortest, most direct path, we advertise our IP address space over CityLink’s WIX and APE (Wellington Internet Exchange and Auckland Peering Exchange) and have an open peering policy. As an added precaution we have a primary peering at Global Gateway between Telecom and TelstraClear, being the main carriers in New Zealand.
