The Mzima Backbone Network

Mzima Networks has designed a completely fault-tolerant backbone network connecting to multiple Tier-1 carriers and numerous private peers to provide the highest performance and reliability to its customers. Mzima uses customized, proprietary software in combination with BGP4 routing to make on-the-fly routing decisions, constantly analyzing the many possible paths customer traffic can take. Our expertise and focus is on routing and traffic delivery, allowing customers to receive the benefits of well-managed multi-homed bandwidth without requiring the expertise, equipment or associated costs, as well as receive the benefits of direct private peering with end-user ISP networks.

Mzima interconnects at most major peering locations in the US as well as London, and we are constantly seeking to expand our network to new locations to further our route diversity and global reach. Our network is engineered to move IP traffic to and from end-users as quickly as possible. For this reason Mzima aggressively pursues direct traffic exchange with broadband ISPs around the world.

Internet routing is exceptionally complex and ever-changing. BGP4 routing requires a high degree of specific expertise and knowledge to receive the greatest benefit. This means constant policies analysis and adaptations, responding to security threats, and ongoing route optimization. Our team of routing experts make this their primary focus, allowing customers to focus on their primary business activity, whatever that may be.

Mzima's Commitment to Quality, Value, and Satisfaction

Mzima Networks has carefully crafted its product offerings to be the best value currently available. This is accomplished by offering true Tier-1 network performance at wholesale prices. By aggregating as much bandwidth as possible, Mzima buys its connectivity in large quantities, and we pass the savings on to our customers.

To maintain the highest level of uptime and performance, Mzima utilizes a 24x7 monitoring platform that closely watches not only availability, but Quality of Service (QoS). Should any transit connection become unavailable, or fall below our acceptable performance threshold, traffic is automatically re-routed to other providers.

The advantages Mzima delivers to its customers are numerous, including:

• Dedicated, experienced BGP engineers
• 24-hour global Network Operations Center
• Rapid service delivery time
• Flexible pricing and service options
• Real-time customer statistics portal
• 24x7 connection monitoring and incident response
• Uptime guarantee and the industry's best Service Level Agreement (SLA)

Mzima has built its network services platform to be the best currently available, and will continue to make architectural improvements and refinements. Because of our wholesale contracts and bulk purchasing agreements with Internet carriers, Mzima's prices are extremely competitive. Mzima offers flexible service level types and contract options, including burstable, tiered, and fixed-rate connectivity.
