Q9’s managed bandwidth services connect customer equipment directly to one of the most extensively connected
and reliable networks in Canada. The Q9 network is a fully redundant network that has been designed to eliminate any
single points of failure.
While the Internet is designed to allow any two computers connected to it to communicate, the path that this
communication takes determines the speed and reliability of such communication. Generally, an optimal path is
characterized by:
minimizing the number of networks traversed
avoiding congested public network access points (NAPs)
minimizing the physical distance traveled on communication lines

or co-location provider.
Q9 has designed its network to achieve the following:
minimize the number of networks between Q9’s customers and their audience by connecting directly
to as many networks as possible in the vicinity of each data centre and network point of presence
minimize delays and points-of-failure between Q9’s customers and their audience by using private
connections where possible to avoid congested public NAPs
minimize the physical distance between Q9’s customers and their audience by replicating network
connections to the extent possible in each of Q9's data centres
Furthermore, Q9 continuously reevaluates its network design to ensure that the factors above are met.
