Empire Data Technologies Inc. The Network starts with two  global World Wide Web connections to the Internet, via two internet backbones: an AT & T (Adelphi a) 15.5Mb and a Qwest (KD L) OC3 (15.5Mb) 

Crucial in multiple network connections is the Border Gate Protocol. This gives our routers instant updates on the current status of all internet network routes, and selects the best route to follow. 

The core routers are carrier class, high end, Juniper systems. They provide multiple high speed data connections to the Internet for the interior routers. 

Open shortest path first (OSPF) routing is a protocol that lets the routers communicate on what is the fastest route out of the network. If a circuit or router fails, this protocol allows the routers to know the road map of the currently active network. 

Virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP) in the router/switches. This protocol creates a virtual router that switches control on the core network. If a router or switch fails, then the other one picks up where it left off. This gives us a gateway for our servers even during maintenance periods. 

Virtual local area network (VLAN) switches prevent computers from seeing each other on the TCP/IP network inside the data center providing another level of security. 

Ultimately, your data is always safe and fast.  The Empire Data Technologies Inc. server is a Dell PowerEdge 1650, Dual Intel Pentium 3 processors at 1.4GHz, with 1GB ECC SDRAM and 3x36 GB 10k RPM hard drives for redundancy, our high end web server insures that we have the processing power to make the internet work for you.
