Without the best network, world-class Web applications can become average. It’s one of the reasons Pangea Foundation chose Rackspace® as its primary hosting provider. Rackspace is known for designing The Zero-Downtime Network™. The Zero-Downtime Network gives Pangea Foundation 100% network uptime. How is this achievable?
- Not using its network for purposes other than IT hosting—no telecom or cable TV services take priority over customer needs;
- Using only high performance bandwidth, unlike cheaper hosting providers;
- Partnering with nine network providers to provide multiple redundancies in information flow to and from data centers and end users;
- Fiber carriers enter data centers at disparate access points protecting network from complete service failure in the unlikely event of a network outage;
- Rackspace’s Proactive Network Methodology continually monitors and automatically improves the network topology and configuration in real-time based on route efficiency and end-user performance, ensuring the fastest and most reliable network connections;
- Maintaining low overall network utilization, providing resiliency from the largest Internet routing issues;
- A highly redundant network configuration co-developed with Cisco to protect against single points of failure at the shared network level;
- Partnering with Cisco and Arbor-Networks to create ever-improving methods to monitor and secure the Rackspace network from intrusions.
Get an enterprise-class IDS (Intrusion Detection System).
To provide an additional layer of security against unauthorized system access, Pangea Foundation gives nonprofits the option of purchasing enterprise-class intrusion detection devices made available by Rackspace. An Intrusion Detection System detects network traffic that aims to outmaneuver or devastate the security of a networked computer in an effort to weaken the reliability, privacy, and availability of resources. With a next generation threat management system, your hosted environment will be monitored and guarded against threats like worms, Trojan horses, BotNets, and unauthorized users 24x7x365.

Get Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation services.
Pangea Foundation offers nonprofits sophisticated Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation services via Rackspace’s proprietary PrevenTier™ system. PrevenTier is the one-of-a-kind DDoS prevention program created by Rackspace to proactively ensure unmatched network security and performance. No other hosting provider offers such an all-encompassing security system for its network. From network-wide packet scanning through granular traffic analysis right down to server-level anomaly detection, PrevenTier’s three layers of detection identify and filter hostile traffic 24x7x365.
