HostSlim Network
Learn more about our network infrastructure and peering.
OUR NETWORK
HostSlim has completely built up its own network in recent years. This gives us complete control over all aspects that take place in our data center.
Our own network (AS207083) is connected to several worldwide peering partners and the Amsterdam Internet Exchange.
Our two data centers are interconnected via a physical fiber optic connection.
DDoS protection is included on our network to guarantee protection and uptime for our customers.
REDUNDANT NETWORK
The fiber optic paths from HostSlim to our peering partners have been purchased from various suppliers via long-term contracts with comprehensive SLAs.
We use at least two fiber optic paths which are physically separated over the entire route, so that both paths can never be interrupted at once.
HSDC1 and HSDC2 both have their own routers and routing engines running redundantly. If a router in one location fails, the other location will automatically take over all routes without interruption.
HostSlim uses DWDM technology to send light of different wavelengths over the same fibers between data center locations, allowing capacity growth as needed.
PEERING_POLICY
A connection between the HostSlim network and other ISPs can be established through direct peering at Internet Exchanges (IX), specifically AMS-IX. We apply an open peering policy - we peer with every party that registers with us.
TRANSIT_PARTNERS
We use Transit partners for global networks. We have specially selected our peering partners based on capacity, routes and quality. We have at least two transit partners for each physical connection, providing automatic failover.
