DATA CENTER
ServerTune, Inc. owns state of the art private racks housed at Time Warner Telecom data center in Minnetonka, Minnesota. ServerTune, Inc. is a premium partner with Time Warner Telecom where the facilities offer complete redundancy in power, HVAC, fire suppression, network connectivity, and security.

Network
ServerTune's IP backbone architecture consists of core backbone routers connected by multiple, diverse, high-speed optical circuits ranging from OC-12 to OC-192. This technology provides many benefits to ServerTune, Inc. including the removal of network congestion and the utilization of our open architecture.

Our local Internet POPs are connected via diversely-routed circuits and packetover-SONET architecture through our core routers to form regional IP networks. Each regional network is then interconnected to form the Time Warner Telecom national IP backbone. Additional local and regional circuits are dedicated for private and public peering arrangements to ensure high-quality IP traffic management.

High-Speed Connection
Our fast, reliable, redundant fiber network ensures that data is always delivered at high-speed optical circuits ranging from OC-12 to OC-192.

We give our clients a gateway to the industry's most robust local and regional optical networks, allowing you to take advantage of the best infrastructure and support capabilities available.
