Dedicated Hosting Co-location
  High Availability Network  
  Astute Hosting achieves high availability through a combination of our carefully engineered network infrastructure, and top of the line upstream bandwidth providers. Our infrastructure involves redundancy at every level, starting right from the server itself all the way to edge of our upstream's global enterprise, carrier class network.

All customers have two active network connections standard, bridged together for redundancy, which go to ports on two different enterprise grade managed Cisco switches. The switches are trunked together, with uplinks to redundant routers. Our routers are Sun Microsystems 64 bit Sparc architecture Telco class systems, running OpenBSD with CARP/PF. CARP offers the highest availability of any VRRP implementation, superior even to Cisco's HSRP. PF with PFSync ensures that both redundant routers fully keep track of all state tables to ensure TCP sessions aren't dropped during failover.

Our High Availability Network is included with all of our services
 
     
  Content Distribution Network  
  For heavy bandwidth requirements and/or geographically diverse target markets, engineering the right architecture can be complex and/or costly. With Astute Hosting's CDN services, customers need only worry about managing their servers and can leave the content delivery to us. Our basic solution provides a cost effective approach for North America, with three points of presence on; west coast, central, and east coast. For a larger global CDN infrastructure, we offer 11 points of presence across every major Internet hub in North America, and 2 points of presence at Europe's largest exchanges.

  DDoS Mitigation  
  DDoS attacks can be completely debilitating to your infrastructure. Even the best hardware solutions can't compensate for saturation, and attacks on legitimate ports can make filtering very difficult. This is why Astute Hosting has formed a strategic partnership to provide DDoS mitigation at the transit level, with deep packet inspection behavioural analysis to put a stop to attack traffic long before it ever gets to you.

Unlike other DDoS mitigation providers today, our solution is distributed across multiple cities which greatly enhances our mitigation capacity. We can currently handle up to 4 Gigabits and 2 Million packets per second. The way it works is DDoS mitigation devices are deployed across Vancouver, Seattle, Los Angeles, Toronto, Montreal, and New York. Your IP's are then advertised out of all the different cities simultaneously using BGP Anycasting. When the traffic enters the nearest city, the bad traffic is dropped right then and there, while the good traffic continues on to you safely here with us in Vancouver.
