Last night ServePath completed the Phase II Upgrade of our edge/border routers from Cisco 12012 to Cisco 6509 routers. Phase I was completed on July 24th, 2005. Servepath’s Network team is constantly working to improve our infrastructure, and this latest upgrade is a major milestone.
The new routers include Cisco supervisor 720 modules that will provide enhanced hardware-based IPv4 and IPv6 and higher performance and scalability. The SUP-720 BXL is a third generation supervisor engine that addresses our growth and growing data-plane requirements. With its integrated switch fabric, the SUP-720 allows for more line cards per slot and the 40 Gbps per slot supports high-density Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Servepath will now be able to take10 Gigabit handoffs, satisfying future bandwidth upgrades from our upstream providers. as our data center expands and our dedicated server customers demand increasing levels of bandwidth scalability.
