Connectivity

BT have the largest IP network in the UK.
They are our primary bandwidth provider and we currently have a 30
MB Internet connection with them. This
service is delivered on gigabit fibre and is diversely routed to two
different BT exchanges on different sides of our data centre. (See below).
BT is one of the most expensive providers in the UK due to the high
quality of their network and ability to deliver the best support and
service level agreements.
While some of our competitors are still using 2 MB or 8 MB connections
delivered over unreliable copper wires as their primary connections,
(which are also still common on the other side of the Atlantic), turcam.com has made the additional investment and used a quality "tier 1"
backbone provider ensuring your website flies onto the Internet at
lightening speed, every time. More information about BT's network and maps are available here.

Data Centre
|
|
|
To keep our
costs to a level that our customers can afford, we have joined forces with
Viohost, who provide the background computer operations
for many international organisations, to create a unified Data Centre from
which we are able to operate. |
|
|
|
|
|
Our internal network is 100% switched running at
100 Mb/s with a fibre backbone connecting our data centre and corporate
offices. We use the latest Intel and Cisco switching equipment and
routers. |
|
|

|
|
|
turcam.com has a
strategic relationship with Intel, ensuring our customers benefit from the
fastest servers available. Every
server on our network (excluding our file servers) are based around dual
processor Pentium Xeon or Pentium III processors, a minimum of 512MB of
memory and hot swappable SCSII hard drives.
We use IBM filer systems ensuring your data is safe and always
available.
