Supercharge your configuration’s own internal network.

Network connectivity goes well beyond the network between your hosted configuration and your end users. Dedicated switching within your actual configuration can speed along communication between your servers and resolve glitches in connectivity. It’s one more proven way to squeeze out performance, especially for larger and more complex hosted environments.

PEER 1 Hosting’s Rapid Dedicated Switch, a fully managed solution can be used in two distinct contexts: as a private back-end switch to provide communication links between servers and help you to reduce your bandwidth consumption on the public network. Or, it can be employed as a front-end switch to aggregate bandwidth in combination with our Managed Firewalls.

Private Back-End Switch

Here, Rapid Dedicated Switch provides communication links between your servers and help you reduce bandwidth consumption on the public network.

Front End Aggregation Switches

PEER 1 Hosting can deploy and manage a front-end Rapid Dedicated Switch that will aggregate bandwidth amongst multiple servers.

Combined with our Managed Firewall, our Rapid Dedicated Switch will segment network interfaces between trust and untrust networks.
