Backbone

Within the housing premises, the LightStorm backbone is comprised of Nx10 Gbps fiber links, using Cisco series 4500, 4900, 6500 and 7600 devices. Internet connection is provided via two Nx10 Gbps fiber links entering the datacenter from two directions, not crossing along the entire path and routed to two geographically independent nodes. One link is routed into Slovak Internet eXchange (SIX) at Namestie Slobody and the other is routed to the SITEL datacenter in the Petrzalka district. Full redundancy of connectivity is secured via Nx10 Gbps link between the SIX and SITEL nodes which also ensures that the whole link is a data ring.
