Network Connectivity

A Private IP Network Built for Resilience

Summit operates its own private IP network — not a resold connection, but infrastructure we own and engineer end to end. Direct cloud peering, a 100 Gbps global backbone, multiple fiber POEs, and 100% uptime SLAs. Wherever your traffic needs to go, we’ve built the fastest path there.

100 Gbps private global backbone 400 Gbps in select locations. Multiple redundant connections to major networks and fiber carriers worldwide.
Direct cloud & carrier peering Connects directly to Azure, Google, and all major hyperscalers — no intermediaries eating your latency.
100% network uptime SLAs Backed contractually. Redundant fiber paths and our own backbone let us route around common failure points before you feel them.
Managed by certified network engineers We build customer networks every week. Most enterprise IT teams do it once or twice in a career. That depth of experience shows.

Secure point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections across Summit locations. Dark fiber, DWDM wavelengths, and L2 ethernet up to 100 Gbps — all managed by Summit end to end.

Custom Network Services

Full design, installation, and management. Metro Ethernet, MPLS, dark fiber, local access circuits, lit services, protected wavelengths, and managed DWDM — scoped to your exact requirements.

Border Gateway Protocol

Extensive BGP communities for fine-grained traffic control, IRR-based prefix filtering, RPKI support, and BCP38 filtering — the kind of routing sophistication that keeps traffic clean and predictable.

CDN Capabilities

Deep CDN expertise and a close partnership with CacheFly means performance and commercial benefits most providers can’t match. Problems upstream? We solve them directly — not through a ticket queue.

When the guy who helped design the networks for YouTube and PayPal says Summit’s data centers and IP backbone are the most impressive he’s ever seen, I trust him implicitly.

Why Summit

Few Companies Own Their Own IP Network. We Do.

We build new customer networks every week. Most enterprise IT professionals do it once or twice in a career. Volume builds intuition you can’t learn any other way — and owning the backbone means we can see, control, and fix things that resellers never can.

24/7 NOC & on-site network engineers When your network has a problem, the people who built it are the ones fixing it — not a remote helpdesk.
Optional management of your gear Firewalls, load balancers, switches, routers — we handle management and migration so your team can focus elsewhere.
Route around failure, not through it Our own backbone lets us reroute around outages before your users feel them — something a reseller simply can’t do.
Low-latency reach in key global markets 22+ data centers on 6 continents. Resilient bandwidth where your users actually are.
Benefits

The Perks of a Full-Time Network Team

100% Network Uptime SLAs

Backed by contract. Redundant paths and an owned backbone make this a real commitment — not a marketing line.

Optional Gear Management

Firewalls, load balancers, switches, and routers — we manage and migrate all of it so your team doesn’t have to.

Professional Network Migration

Moving network gear is painful. We’ve done it hundreds of times and can handle it for you with minimal disruption.

Global Low-Latency Reach

FAQ

Common Questions

Straight answers about Summit’s network.

Yes — firewalls, load balancers, switches, and routers. We can also handle professional migration of your network equipment. Just tell us what you have and we’ll scope it.

Start by identifying your mission-critical applications — what can your team not function without? From there, the right question is less about raw volume and more about latency, redundancy, and privacy requirements. Digital trading needs low latency and direct fiber. Healthcare and payments may need private connectivity and compliance controls. If uptime is the top concern, fully redundant connections are non-negotiable. Our team helps you figure this out before recommending anything.

We build new customer networks every week. Most enterprise IT professionals do it once or twice in their entire career. That volume builds intuition you can’t get any other way. We also own our own IP backbone — we’re not reselling someone else’s pipe. That gives our engineers a level of visibility and control that’s unavailable to most providers.

Summit’s Looking Glass is a public network diagnostic tool that lets you run live BGP queries and check routing paths across our infrastructure. We make it available because we’re confident in what you’ll find. Access it at lg.summithq.com.

Yes. We support extensive BGP communities for customer traffic control, IRR-based prefix filtering, RPKI, and BCP38 filtering. Multi-homing, traffic engineering, custom peering policies — talk to our team and we’ll work through the right configuration for your environment.
