Network Overview

Network Configuration

Maxnet provides redundancy throughout our IP network, so the network is very reliable. Our internet data centre has the type of layout and configuration that you would expect to find in any advanced internet facility, with separate communications, colocation, UPS and diesel generator rooms.

Telecommunications:

Telecom New Zealand and TelstraClear supply two (2) 155mb independent fibre connections that connect the data centre to the backbone of the internet. Vector Communications supplies a third 1 Gbps fibre circuit. Maxnet has a primary and secondary circuit to each of our upstream international bandwidth suppliers for maximum redundancy purposes. These connections are in addition to copper capacity from both, providing full Telco diversity through redundant entry ducts to the building (i.e. The fibre and copper connections from the respective Telcos enter the building at different entry points).

Network Peering Policies

Maxnet peers with Auckland Peering Exchange (APE) and also with the Wellington Internet Exchange (WIX).
