The reliable SURF network
Via Internet from SURF you connect to our lightning-fast SURF network, which guarantees high availability at all times. Continuity is key in the SURF network: all routes are duplicated. All equipment is also provided redundantly to institutions. We carry out multiple activities to monitor continuity.
Within the SURF network, each route is connected by at least two optical fibres. The two routes run along geographically separate paths. If there is a calamity on the main route, traffic goes via the second route. The urban rings within these rural rings are also redundant.
Redundant network
It is not only important to build a redundant network, but more importantly to maintain it. To achieve this, a number of activities are carried out by SURF:
- Continuous monitoring and anticipation to prevent failures (24/7)
- Complete overview of the location of optical fibres available
- Overview of planned work at member institutions and external parties
