Our Network

At Host Universal, we operate a highly interconnected global network designed for optimum traffic path management and high resilience. Our extensive network infrastructure, spanning key locations across the Asia-Pacific region, ensures that our customers experience minimal disruptions and maximum performance. With redundancy built into every layer of our network, we guarantee reliability even in the event of hardware or link failures, so your business stays online.

Fully Redundant Network in Australia

In Australia, our network backbone is built with complete redundancy across both metropolitan and interstate connections. This means that even a total failure of a device or link will not impact customer services, thanks to our highly resilient setup.

Sydney is a central hub in our Australian network. Equinix SY3 houses multiple core network devices, ensuring robust redundancy at this critical point of presence (PoP). Equinix SY3 is directly connected to Equinix SY4 and NextDC S1 via diverse, redundant paths, ensuring that performance remains consistent at all times.

Additionally, in Sydney, we have multiple ports at key internet exchanges, including Equinix IX, IXAU, and EdgeIX, further distributing traffic for optimum efficiency and reliability. Our upstream connectivity is backed by international providers such as Cogent, Telstra Global, and NTT, alongside domestic vendors AAPT/TPG and Optus, offering unmatched redundancy and traffic control.

We’ve also established strong PoPs in other major Australian cities:

  • In Brisbane, our backbone operates out of NextDC B2, providing reliable, redundant connections.
  • Melbourne is home to critical PoPs at NextDC M1 and Equinix ME1/ME2, ensuring seamless connectivity and service delivery across the city.
  • In Adelaide, we maintain a strong presence at YourDC Hawthorn and Colocity DC3, delivering reliable, resilient network services.
  • In Perth, our backbone spans across NextDC P1 and P2, providing continuous operation even in the event of a failure.

Redundant Global Presence

Our commitment to redundancy extends beyond Australia. In key APAC locations like Auckland, Singapore, and Tokyo, we’ve established PoPs with the same high standards of resiliency:

  • Auckland’s Datacentre 220 Queen St serves as a core PoP for our New Zealand operations, ensuring reliable connectivity between Australia and New Zealand.
  • In Singapore, Equinix SG3 and Racks Central offer high-performance connectivity and resilient connections to other major locations in the region.
  • Tokyo is another key hub, with Equinix TY8 acting as the core PoP, connected to our wider network for maximum uptime and redundancy.
