Bear Media's world-class network has been designed to support
and enhance your mission-critical e-business applications. We
provide you with the fastest, most direct network connections
through an internal network that is connected directly to the
major Internet backbones.
Our 100% Cisco powered internal network prioritizes high performance
and redundancy. State of the art, fault tolerant software utilizes
Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), guaranteeing that in the
event that a router or router port fails, the hot standby router
will take over within a maximum of 40 seconds.
Bear Media's high performance and redundant backbone network
connects all of our Internet Data Centres using multiple high-speed
OCn lines. With the ever-growing number of latency-sensitive
applications such as Voice Over IP, Video Streaming and Conferencing,
and a multitude of other client server applications, route diversity
is a key component in ensuring Internet connectivity is fast
and always available.
We continuously monitor Internet bandwidth usage, allowing
us to scale in anticipation of your needs. We consistently maintain
our bandwidth at five times our average sustained usage. When
our usage goes up, we buy more bandwidth to prevent the possibility
of a bottleneck. The bottom line? There's always more than enough
bandwidth available, so your connection is always up, and always
fast.
Bear Media, through our partnership with Peer 1 Network, strives
to be constantly expanding our network in ways that further
enhance performance for our customers. For example, we are the
only network that has a direct connection between Seattle and
Vancouver, via our private clear channel link. Peer 1 Network
is part of the BC Internet Exchange (BCIX) and the Seattle Internet
exchange (SIX), both of which enhance connectivity and performance
to locally available national and international carriers.
