 Connectivity

 

We have multiple connections to the Internet from high quality backbone providers.  We currently have 30 MB of bandwidth and an additional 155 MB available "on tap" to cope with future demand.

 

 

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.

 

 

Telewest are the UK's largest cable company and provides the network backbone for the mobile phone operator, One2One.  Our Telewest connection is delivered over Telewest's own fibre and is completely independent of BT's network.

 

 

UUNet are of the larger UK backbone providers and offer excellent service level guarantees to turcam.com enabling us to ensure your Internet service is available 100% of the time. More information about UUNet'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.
