Data Foundry® Managed Internet Services

Today, every business needs a fast, reliable connection to the Internet-and that's what a T1 connection can provide. But what's the right T1 solution for you? With Data Foundry, you can choose one that's perfectly matched to your business size and bandwidth requirements.

A T1 is a high speed private line designed for direct connections. Supporting data transfer rates of 1.544 Mbps, this access solution is often used for Internet research, online marketing programs, company e-mail and transmitting large data files. We recommend this solution to businesses of 50 employees or more and local office branches that have steady bandwidth traffic and desire a fixed monthly rate.

If you're searching for high-speed access services from an ISP with a high-performance network, look no further. High-speed options from Data Foundry include carrier-grade T3 services, plus the highest levels of network redundancy, performance, reliability and scalability.

For companies with bandwidth requirements exceeding our Full T1 offering, Data Foundry provides NxT1 (multiple T1s) solutions in which we combine (bundle) up to eight T1s into a single homogenous connection. If you choose, we can diversify these T1s over separate local loops and redundant routing hardware. This solution is a low cost alternative to a T3 for businesses that require capacity and speeds greater than a single T1.

A T3 line is a dedicated private line, equivalent in capacity to 28 T1 lines, with a data transfer rate of 45 Mbps and 672 individual channels. This solution is recommended for medium and large-sized businesses with high bandwidth requirements. When deciding between a NxT1 (multiple T1s) and T3 solution, a customer should take into consideration the diminishing point of cost justification involved with provisioning multiple local loops, versus only one loop for the T3 solution.

When your connectivity requirements force you to look beyond traditional business services, Data Foundry offers true carrier-class service. Our OC3 solution delivers consistent high performance utilizing Packet over SONET technology and is recommended for those with exceptional speed and capacity needs. This solution offers data transfer rates from 155Mbps. To provide scalability we also offer Burstable OC level connectivity. Choosing Data Foundry for these services gives you true upstream redundancy as opposed to contracting directly with a single network, large backbone provider.

Data Foundry's Texas Network Access Point (TexasNAP) is the fastest way for Texas-based businesses to connect across the state. It's also the quickest, most dependable route to and across the Internet
