Mzima Networks has
designed a completely fault-tolerant nationwide
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. 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 national broadband ISPs.
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.

transit/peering capacity

fault-tolerance

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

availability, but Quality of Service (QoS).

unavailable, or fall below our acceptable
performance threshold, traffic is automatically
re-routed to other providers.

are numerous, including:
• Dedicated, experienced BGP engineers
• 24-hour national Network Operations Center
• Rapid service delivery time (typical port
installation time 48 hours)
• Flexible pricing and service options

response

carriers, Mzima's prices are extremely
competitive. Mzima offers
