The Korax Network Data facility and network infrastructure

Data facility

The Korax data facility is located in a secure, carrier-class data centre at 151 Front Street West, Canada's premier telecommunications hub, located in downtown Toronto. Home to more than 150 telecommunications enterprises, it is one of North America's most connected buildings.

Its key benefits are:

• Mission critical infrastructure for power, environmental control, and network connectivity.
• Dual hydro utility feeds, and redundant high-capacity UPS and generator systems to ensure continued supply of electrical power in the event of extended utility power outage.
• Enhanced round-the-clock physical security, video monitoring, and electronic access control to the premises.
• Easy access to a virtually limitless supply of Internet bandwidth.

Network connectivity

The Korax network enjoys multi-homed high-capacity redundant fibre optic connectivity to the global Internet through multiple Tier-1 Internet transit providers.

Peering

Through TorIX, Korax connects directly to dozens of other large networks and Internet service providers across Canada, the U.S. and Europe.

Peering allows network traffic to take the most direct route to its destination, bypassing the public Internet. This ensures the fastest and most reliable access, and the best user experience for website visitors.
