The backbone border routers are Juniperâ„¢ M20's and the fully redundant switching layer comprises a certified six pack design of Ciscoâ„¢ 6500 series switches. All customer access switches in the datacenter, and there are hundreds of them, are Ciscoâ„¢ 2950 series switches designed for maximum performance and uptime availability.
