Network

Colo5 operates a robust, secure network infrastructure with a carrier neutral environment providing access to multiple providers. This multi-carrier network is enhanced with intelligent routing that identifies the absolute fastest route across internet backbones, improving performance by as much as 15 to 25 percent. Importantly, if one carrier has an outage the bandwidth is re-routed to the other carriers making Colo5’s network truly redundant.

Colo5 activated its own custom-built, dedicated, private fiber optic ring throughout metro Jacksonville.  The OC-192 connection is a robust fiber optic network transmission line that is an ideal source for those customers who seek redundant, self-healing local access at a substantially reduced cost.

Colo5's Jacksonville fiber optic metro ring connects its data centers to telecom carrier hotels in Jacksonville allowing access to more than 15 independent telecom network providers. This configuration adds significant value to Colo5's customers in the way of broader access to more carriers and more competitive pricing for access and bandwidth.
