Is my Portland Dedicated Server protected against hardware or network failure?
Yes, absolutely. At ServerMO, your Portland dedicated server is built with enterprise-grade fault tolerance and network redundancy. Each server is equipped with four (4x) 25Gbps network interfaces configured on two separate NICs, forming a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) with LACP for real-time link monitoring. Your server connects to two independent network switches, each carrying dual 25Gbps uplinks, and the entire network infrastructure is backed by multiple 100Gbps uplinks. This architecture ensures failover protection and maintains full bandwidth even if any link or appliance fails. Additionally, traffic is routed through dual routers, providing automatic rerouting in the event of hardware failure. This redundancy guarantees high availability and uninterrupted performance for mission-critical applications.
