Our Network

What kind of connection does NetworkPixels have to the Internet backbone?

NetworkPixels offers a stable, redundant hosting environment built on state-of-the-art technologies. All of our servers are housed at the Softlayer Datacenter located at the heart of Texas, Dallas.


SoftLayer is the first true on-demand hosting solution with public and private networks to ensure complete control over the outsourced environment. Comprised of two separate and distinct redundant network architectures, the SoftLayer network-within-the-network design delivers enterprise level hosting services while adding complete management and flexibility to the outsourced environment.

Cisco Routers & Switches - 6500, 3750, 2900 Series routers and switches with gigabit speeds available from the individual server to the Internet.

Redundant GigE Backbone - Multi-router gigabit connections to the Internap, SAVVIS, VERIO/NTT, and Abovenet core backbone exchanges located in the INFOMART in Dallas, Texas

Traffic Management & Analysis - Utilizing Peakflow from Arbor Networks coupled with Netflow data from Cisco routers and switches, network engineers continuously monitor the health, reliability, and performance of the network. Historical analysis is critical for demand and capacity planning.

Network IDS, IPS & DDOS - Industry best solutions from Tipping Point are utilized to guard against denial of service, malicious traffic, viruses, malware, phishing, spyware and other types of Internet threats via wire speed detection and remediation coupled with automatic and zero day response.

Private VLAN & Port Control - All servers reside on private VLANs for security purposes. Additional servers or firewalls added after the initial install can be placed on existing VLANs or new VLANs without service interruptions or IP changes. Port control is also available to change port speeds from 10 / 100 / 1000Mbps to further manage security and bandwidth usage.

Bandwidth Graphs & Alerts - Detailed bandwidth graphs with historical data and projected monthly usage are available for all public server ports. Custom bandwidth alerts notify of bandwidth usage, spikes, or overages.
