Network

Consider the world your data center.

SoftLayer delivers unmatched scalability and control because we built a different kind of network—a network of networks. Public, private, and management traffic travel across separate network interfaces, segregating and securing traffic while streamlining management.

Our global network boasts more than 2,000Gbps of connectivity between data centers and network points of presence (PoPs). These locations each have multiple 10Gbps transit connections as well as peering links to additional service providers and access networks.



Network Details


Public Network

Every data center and network PoP has multiple 10Gbps connections to top-tier transit and peering network carriers. Network traffic from anywhere in the world will connect to the closest network PoP, and it will travel directly across our network to its data center, minimizing the number of network hops and handoffs between providers. Inside the data center, we offer up to ten gigabits per second of bandwidth to individual servers to meet even the most demanding network-intensive workloads.

  • Unmetered inbound bandwidth
  • Multiple internet backbone connections
  • Automated IP routing and management
  • Servers available with port speeds up to 10Gbps
  • Geographically redundant DNS

Private Network

All SoftLayer data centers and PoPs are connected by our private network backbone. This private network is separate from the public network, and it enables you to seamlessly connect your services in SoftLayer data centers around the world. Move data between servers at no cost, and take advantage of our update and patch servers, software repositories, backend services, and more without interfering with public network traffic.

  • Unmetered bandwidth
  • Secure, customer-configurable private VLANs
  • Free server-to-server cross connects
  • Private Local DNS Resolvers
  • Centralized storage resources
  • Servers available with port speeds up to 10Gbps

Management Network

In addition to the public and private networks, each SoftLayer server is connected to an out-of-band management network. This management network, accessible via VPN, allows access to your server independently of its CPI, firmware and operating system for maintenance and administration purposes. Perform OS reloads, power-cycle your server, or simply use the IPMI connection to watch your server boot up as though you were standing in the data center with a keyboard, monitor, and mouse physically connected.

  • Unmetered bandwidth
  • Gigabit port speed
  • OS reload and OS change servers
  • Control the power to your server
  • Use KVM over IP


Best-in-class Network Infrastructure

Our network is built from best-in-class networking infrastructure, hardware, and software with exceptional bandwidth and connectivity for the highest speed and reliability. Every upstream network port is multiple 10G and every rack is terminated with two 10G connections to the public Internet and two 10G connections to our private network.

  • Cisco Systems 10G Network
  • Arbor Peakflow Traffic Analysis
  • DDOS Protection utilizing multiple vendors


IPv6 Support

SoftLayer has provided native IPv6 support to our publicly available services since December 2008. SoftLayer does not have to worry about tunneling to carry IPv6 over IPv4 networks, which in turn means that our networks are not limited by the diminishing pool of IPv4 addresses. In addition, our support personnel are IPv6 savvy today.
