What is a Private Server Network and How Does it Work?
Click to Enlarge
To create a private server network (also known as a private VLAN), you simply connect two or more dedicated servers or Load Balanced Server Networks with ServePath's enterprise-class Private Server Network service. By using the second network card (NIC) on your dedicated server, ServePath will create a back-end private network, which will ensure your dedicated servers or load balanced server networks can quickly and securely communicate. Best of all, server traffic that traverses the Private Server Network will not be counted toward your data transfer or bandwidth allotment.
ServePath's Private Server Network service is powered by Cisco's Catalyst switching hardware. Using Cisco hardware allows us to minimize downtime of the private server networks and accelerate performance which allows you to run your mission-critical applications with confidence. Our mission at ServePath is to provide you with managed Internet hosting solutions that meet your every requirement.
FastE or Gigabit Switching
ServePath offers FastE (100 Mbps) and Gigabit (1000 Mbps) for its Private Server Networks. The Private Server Network is fully managed and includes 24/7 monitoring, which ensures your private server network is always operating at peak performance.
