Resilient, Autonomous, Reliable... AS29527

AS29527 is Othello Technology's fully resilient multi-homed network.

With our combination of technical experience, the latest technologies, and the highest quality network hardware, Othello Technology has created one of the most reliable networks in the world, delivering the speed and reliability our customers demand.

Now with our recent service expansion to the US and NL, AS29527 has become a multihomed, fully redundant international provider.

History

Othello Technology started in 1996 as an ISP with a single connection to the Internet via one provider. As we grew, instead of simply buying more bandwidth from our provider as most of our competitors have done, we gained our ASN (Autonomous Systems Number) 29527 and started to add additional Tier 1 transits and created our extensive peering network.

External Connections

Othello Technology interconnect with the following ISPs for full internet connectivity at our various PoPs;

  • DataHop (AS6908)
  • Aexiomus (AS6770)
  • Level3 (AS3356)
  • KPN (AS286)
  • EuroAccess (AS34305)
  • Net Access Corp (AS8001)
  • Abovenet/MFN (AS3356)

 

Peering Connections

Built on top of this firm foundation Othello Technology also directly interconnect with over 400 UK/EU ISPs by connecting to the following Internet Exchanges;

  • LINX - 291 Peers
  • LIPEX - 88 Peers
  • RBIEX - 15 Peers
  • UK6X - 22 Peers
  • Private - 5 Peers
And we supplement our Peering with additional partial transit covering the following IXs;
  • ExchangePoint
  • LoNAP
  • AMSIX
  • DECIX
  • FreeIX

 

IP and Routing Technologies

Othello Technology is proud to support both IP version 4 and IP version 6. AS29527 is fully equipped to handle the Internet of today whilst embracing and shaping the Internet of tomorrow. Boasting a fully integrated routing architecture, AS29527 and Othello Technology are able to supply bandwidth supported by BGPv4, OSPFv2 or static routing.

Hardware and Wetware

The best networks are made with a combination of highly reliable equipment and skilled network technicians.
Layer2 Switching fabric is 100% Cisco providing speed and reliability.
Layer3 Routers are custom buily and utilise OSPF and BGP dynamic routing to ensure 100% connectivity.
The Othello::NOC is staffed 24/7/365, trained network technicians can be inside every Othello DataCentre facility within 30 minutes.

Monitoring

The entire Othello::Network is checked around the clock from multiple locations to ensure it is operating at an optimum state. We review traffic and route statistics so that we can instantly make any necessary routing adjustments to maintain our 100% uptime.
