PyramidNet is a facilities based provider of Internet services. The Network Operations Center (NOC) houses an OC-12 rack with direct fiber optic termination facilities. The OC-12 is connected directly to the Internet backbone via multiple and redundant T-3(45Mbps) lines. Network circuits are provisioned on separate local carriers and utilize a 100Mbps Ethernet backbone. These carriers use the latest SONET, FDDI and ATM technology for the highest level of availability and redundancy.

Network circuits are connected to multiple Cisco 7206 routers. The routers utilize Cisco BGP4 routing for diversity and network load balancing. These routers are connected to Redundant Cisco Catalyst 5000 (100 MB) switches that carry all IP traffic to the web servers. All network facilities are protected by multiple line conditioners / surge protectors and backed up by both UPS and multiple 30,000 watt diesel generators. Robotic tape backups are performed daily and stored offsite.
