Because of their backup transit and the many international peers, their network maintains the shortest routes for sending data all over the world.
Hurricane Electric's switched network utilizes the Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 (BGP4) over Cisco 12000 series GSR routers. They always update the router's IOS after they have stress tested the latest IOS on a non-critical router, to make sure it is very stable. The switch that any equipment will ultimately be connected to is connected back to a core router via fiber.

Net Access Corporation (NAC) - nac1.jvds.com
About NAC.net’s Datacenter
NAC started in 1995 as an ISP with a single connection to the Internet via one backbone provider. As they grew, instead of buying larger access to a single provider, they started to inter-connect with many other backbone providers, and other Internet Service Providers as well. In fact, with their recent service extension to London, Net Access is now an international backbone provider itself.
The NAC datacenter is utilizes an FM200 fire suppression both above and below floorings in case of fire. Uninterruptible power systems and a diesel generator are in place for back-up power. Leibert air conditioning systems provide climate control. While a 24/7 security camera monitors all entry points and a fingerprint biometric entry access scanner to track and identify people coming in and out of the facility.
About NAC.net’s Network
NAC realized early on that the best networks are made with top-grade equipment and skilled network engineers. They use quality network hardware and their technicians work around the clock, using such technologies as ATM and BGP dynamic routing to ensure that all systems run efficiently and smoothly. Their connections to multiple backbone providers, and peering with many carriers on a regional and international basis, allows them to easily reach remote networks even in the case where a NAP may be unhealthy, or when a specific backbone connection is down. It also allows them to make intelligent routing decisions; for example, if they are trying to reach a remote network which is on the Sprint network, there's no reason to send it out to UUNET first.
They have built and they maintain one of the largest and most fault tolerant networks in the region, composed of a full mesh of OC3 (155 Megabit) and OC12 (622 Megabit) links throughout their coverage area. They connect to Internet backbones at our redundant data centers in Northern NJ and NYC, linking directly to most of the major networks, including Sprint, UUNET, Cable & Wireless, PSI, AOL, Level 3, Genuity, and many others. By placing their core nodes at places like Equinix and Telehouse, they are guaranteed a level of competent service. All of their core nodes employ SONET networks, which essentially provides a dual-redundant, counter-rotating ring technology, and in the event of a fiber cut, the SONET will automatically heal itself. They also divide their circuits among several telecommunications providers, such as Verizon, MFS/Worldcom, and Adelphia.

About TeliaSonera’s Network
Based on their wholly-owned infrastructure they developed their Viking Networks - the IP and capacity backbones. By owning and centrally managing the networks they proactively monitor and optimize network performance at all times. This enables them to make commitments on end-to-end connections and allows them to resolve problems effectively and quickly.
Using transmission from their capacity backbone they developed their IP backbone, one of the most powerful and best-managed IP networks in the industry. The built-in resilience in the IP network, together with their peering agreements, provides cost-competitive and reliable IP services. The IP backbone has extensive reach and presently carries the largest volumes of IP traffic in the Nordic and Baltic States. They are also one of the main suppliers of IP to the European University networks, currently supplying internet connectivity to 75% of university students in Europe.
The hardware used on the IP backbone is supplied by several vendors, rather than relying on just one supplier's technology. They are free to select the "best-of-breed" system for each application within the network, and integrate them. The result is a network that is uniquely flexible in terms of the services it can offer, as well as delivering raw performance that is difficult to surpass.
TeliaSonera maintain more than 150 public and private peering sessions with other networks in 20 cities throughout Europe and the USA. As well as monitoring and regulating network performance, they regularly meet with their peering partners to ensure congestion-free connectivity at all times. They operate using one single global AS number and maintain 10 Gbit/s dual link between core nodes and 40 Gbit/s across the Atlantic.

PoundHost - ph2.jvds.com
About PoundHost’s Datacenter
PoundHost was born in 1998 (then known as Neighbourhood Internet) by the current Managing Director, Matthew Munson. Their dynamic approach to non-profit making organizations soon spread, and they quickly found themselves dealing with other charities, including large Zoos (providing infrastructure services for park wide automated webcams and websites) and more.
This is when PoundHost started. They realized that they could leverage the networks they were deploying for their customers, and base their own hosting company on this, thus reducing hosting costs and keeping their work “in-house”. Within a short period of time they opened their own data centre in Maidenhead to host their own, and their customers servers.
PoundHost own and maintain their own data centres based in Maidenhead, Berkshire, 25 miles from London. They also have space in Global Switch 1, London Docklands and have recently completed the expansion to their second datacenter which has room for more than 850 servers, including rack space. Their datacenters utilize full APC UPS systems, 15kVA generator backups, climate controlled air, a 24/7 CCTV and alarm system, and 24/7 on-site security personnel
