Global Backbone Network

We operate a dedicated, high-performance global backbone network, directly connecting all our worldwide data centers and strategic points of presence.

Our proprietary fiber infrastructure is engineered for superior speed, low latency, and maximum reliability.

Bartosz, IT Engineer

Our dedicated fiber connections

We manage our proprietary network infrastructure that connects all of our data centers and points of presences across continents, giving us complete control over routing, quality, and expansion worldwide with minimal hops.
Built-in redundancy

Architected with diverse fiber paths, redundant hardware, and automatic failover for guaranteed uptime and resilience.
Massive capacity

Provisioned to easily handle traffic spikes and sustained high loads, providing a seamless experience even during peak demand to ensure best-in-class, low-latency network performance.
Direct access to network hubs

High-capacity peering with major Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) and network hubs globally, facilitating the fastest possible routes for your traffic.

24/7 Operational Management

Our network operations are managed by a dedicated, in-house network team that provides round-the-clock, 24/7 coverage.

This ensures that we maintain complete control over our entire network backbone and critical infrastructure, without reliance on external providers or third-party vendors for monitoring, maintenance, or incident response.

This independence allows for faster resolution times, deeper expertise in our specific architecture, and a consistently higher standard of security and performance tailored to our needs.

Multi-layered DDoS Protection

Our infrastructure employs a powerful, multi-layered DDoS protection system.

This advanced defence shield operates across multiple tiers, continuously monitoring and mitigating malicious traffic in real-time.

Dual-level defence strategy

Network-level protection safeguards against massive volumetric DDoS attacks using high-capacity scrubbing and always-on intelligent filtering at the edge.

Host-level protection defends individual server instances against sophisticated attacks with advanced firewalls and rate-limiting.
