Speed…
It’s what drives business. It’s innovation and change. And it’s what your customers demand.
Is light speed the right speed for you?
epiknetworks gives you the fastest commercial-grade Internet connection on the market. Your building is already set
up for it: all you have to do is call us to get instant access to setup, speed and support.
Why would you want traditional Internet service when you could have “ME”?
Connectivity
Your On-Net Building and Metro area is set up with epik’s advanced fibre-optic infrastructure to provide the fastest commercial Internet
access and data networking services available today. Should your needs change after you get connected, epiknetworks can increase
your bandwidth in a matter of hours. We’re taking advantage of advances in fibre-optic technology and switching electronics, and we’re
offering far higher levels of bandwidth at much lower cost than traditional leased line based services. Choose dedicated speeds ranging
from 2 Mbps to 100 Mbps.
epik’s ME is the most advanced Internet Access service available:
On-demand Policy Management:
• Prioritize mission-critical data types (IE. Video/Voice/FTP/HTTP)
• Can prioritize by IP, Protocol, server groups or user clusters
“Just like a police car
Advanced Network Security & Fully Managed Stateful Firewall: racing through a busy street
Standard ‘option’ with all service offerings - without any additional at rush hour, casual traffic
equipment to purchase, clients now have the ability to ‘truly’ protect moves aside and mission
their networks from unwanted intruders. critical traffic has priority”
Advanced Security Features Include:
• No in-suite Hardware required in our On-Net buildings - Most successful network intrusions result from poorly configured in-suite
routers or firewalls.
• Active Port Defense - Almost all attacks start off with a port scan of the network. The APD system tracks all such scans as well as
activity on known ‘threat’ ports (such as port 111). When a scan is detected, the APD system bans the attacking address from the
network, shutting out the attacker entirely before the actual attack is even launched. Suspicious activity is logged and reported to the
systems administrators. This is the first line of defense for all customers wanting epiknetworks advanced security features.
• Stateful Firewall - The full Firewall service comes with Network Address Translation, Port Forwarding, VPN support and a host of
other features. The system protects the network against almost all types of attacks from outside of the network.
• Intrusion Detection System - The Intrusion Detection System offers additional security against hackers attempting to bypass or
gain access to the firewall. The IDS will lock out hackers and alert the system administrators. All logs are stored at a central server
location and backed up regularly, that means all attempts at intrusion are tracked and reported.
• DMZ Zone Filtering - This is for customers wishing to use real-world routable IP addresses, but still wanting the additional security
and protection.
To put an equivalent security system in place, using a traditional service offering, would
cost thousands of dollars in software & hardware.
