Hivelocity takes its network to the next level with Noction IRP

Hivelocity, a provider of Dedicated Server, VPS and Cloud hosting solutions deployed Noction Intelligent Routing Platform (IRP) in its infrastructure. At present, Hivelocity’s connectivity is comprised of multiple Tier 1 back-bone providers such as: Level 3, Time Warner Telecom, Global Crossing and Cogent. The company currently has over 100 Gbps bandwidth capacity. Hivelocity realized the necessity of enabling Intelligent Routing to their multi-homed network back in March 2010, when it deployed Internap’s FCP. Noction IRP will replace the existing FCP appliance in Hivelocity’s network.

The IRP platform will improve Hivelocity`s network performance with real-time optimization for the network traffic. Noction IRP will continuously monitor the flows to identify destination networks and will measure actual traffic performance to these networks across the connected providers. By using a set of gathered metrics IRP will determine whether the performance policies defined by Hivelocity are being met and will make route changes in compliance with these policies. As a result, IRP will enable Hivelocity to redeploy technical resources and focus on enhancements rather than manual BGP improvements.
