Map of U-NET

Don't forget, beneath the name - we're all still here and will continue to provide the quality of service you have come to expect from us.

OUR NETWORK - At VIA NET.WORKS, we own our own network. We peer in all the primary peering points including LINX, MAE-East, MAE-West, AMS-IX and PAIX, to name but a few. By utilising these diverse connections, our network dynamically routes traffic over the network of the provider best able to deliver the data in the fastest and most efficient manner. Direct connections to multiple major carriers and Internet exchanges assure reliable service levels, protecting against traffic congestion and network outages. Our network has been designed to be a fully redundant network to avoid any single point of failure.

Our operating companies’ local networks are connected with our global network via high-capacity optical transmission media and co-location of routers. Where co-location is not an option, our operating companies access our international network through high-speed data communication facilities.

Located in Germany, our European network operations centre, is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by a team of dedicated Internet systems engineers who constantly monitor the equipment’s performance, ensuring network reliability round the clock. The centre also efficiently identifies and corrects network problems either remotely or by local despatch.
