Since 1994 when Avantex was originally
founded, we have built a fully-switched Internet backbone network using only the
highest-quality hardware,
servers,
routers, switches, and most importantly, Tier 1 network providers. Each of
Avantex data centers
connect to our world-class network, for the most intensive-use of Internet
bandwidth.
In all our data centers, Avantex's internal network uses 100 percent Cisco
networking routers, switches and related equipment. Every
Linux or
Windows server
on our internal network has a switched 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet connection to all our
Cisco switching equipment, assuring all our customers of the fastest Internet
connections in the Web hosting industry.
Avantex's North American Network
From all of our data centers listed below, our switches connect to our Tier 1
providers' core network via multiple 100Mbps Fast Ethernet links (using HSRP),
for the best server load balancing and redundancy. Avantex has the following carrier

Our philosophy
As a profitable, privately-held business, we're under no pressure to
produce short-term results. Avantex has no debts and is managed by its
original founders. Instead, we believe that steady growth, based on
sound fundamentals will enable us to keep the focus on our customers
and to continously increase the value of our quality services. Since
inception, our strategy has always been to operate using only a handful of full-time
employees, entirely focused on doing the most important things really well, and on
reacting quickly to changing customer needs. The feedback we've received over
the years indicates our customers appreciate our approach.
Our ultimate goal remains to provide dependable Web hosting, either using the trusted
Linux
operating system, or the
Windows
Server 2003 platform, while still delivering these professional services at the lowest
cost possible.
