The Network Infrastructure
Simply Transit provides Network Infrastructure and runs a fully redundant BGP network consisting of two separate hardware vendors which provide redundancy not only in the network level but also on the hardware level.
They operate two separate 10Gigabit networks, from both Extreme Networks and Foundry Networks at all locations. On top of this layer 2 networks, they operate two independent IP Transit networks (AS29550 and AS34920) which run from multiple Cisco Systems 7606-S RSP720 and 6509 SUP720 routers at multiple London facilities, offering true redundancy to each data centre.
Connecting with multiple Tier 1 provider, as well the London Internet Exchange (LINX), they are the only provider able to offer IP services diverse of London, to any of the BlueSquare datacentres.
