Keystroke takes our Act! database hosting services seriously, and as such we've hired Cogent Communications to co-locate all our Act! Hosting servers at their Toronto Data Centre just five minutes from our head office. Cogent owns and operates 44 data centers in North America and Europe. From extensive power backup systems to complete fire detection and suppression plans, each facility is constructed to ensure the safety and security of our equipment.
Cogent's network stretches over 185 markets throughout 38 countries in North America, Europe and Asia, with over 57,500 route miles of long-haul fiber and more than 27,200 miles of metropolitan fiber serving over 590 metropolitan rings.
Each of Cogent's state-of-the-art data centers are connected to their all-optical network. Cogent Data Centers are known for providing an environment where connectivity, availability, security and performance are the highest priority. Coupled with Cogent's high speed bandwidth, they give their customers the best value in the industry. Their committed customer support and local provisioning teams ensure maximum reliability.
Important Facts
