In today’s competitive environment, reliable internet services and remote access are vital for business communications. Avastone Technologies has partnered with Heartland Business Systems to provide Internet access, e-mail, web site hosting, and virtual private networking services.

Heartland Business Systems takes hosting reliability, redundancy, and security to the highest level. By using the BGP-4 protocol, Heartland speeds your data along a continuously updated “best path” through the Internet. And if the primary network link should fail, Heartland maintains a remote-pop located 25 miles away. In addition to network redundancy, Heartland maintains high-end Compaq servers with RAID-5 arrays that automatically swap over to spare drives in an event of a failure. Heartland takes off-site backups nightly with a two-week rotation.
