The DINAO network

An infrastructure designed never to stop

At DINAO, we made a fundamental choice: never to accept that a single failure could interrupt your services. Every network device is duplicated, every path is redundant, and every failure scenario has been anticipated and tested.

We operate our own network infrastructure with our own autonomous system number (ASN). This is not hosting on third-party infrastructure: it is a network we control end to end, from the edge routers to the switches of your servers.

See for yourself how our network reacts when a failure occurs:

The DINAO Network - The DINAO network

Two datacenters, zero interruption

150 km of geographical separation between Marseille and Sophia-Antipolis

Our infrastructure relies on two geographically distinct datacenters, located in Marseille and Sophia-Antipolis. This geographical separation of more than 150 kilometres protects us against localised risks, whether a power cut, a regional network incident or a weather event.

Both sites run as mirrors and are connected by a unified network fabric. If one site becomes unavailable, the other takes over transparently, with no human intervention and no interruption noticeable to your users.

Unlike a simple VPN tunnel, our two datacenters are interconnected using VXLAN BGP EVPN technology : your virtual machines and services are equally at home on either site, with no reconfiguration needed during a failover.

Multi-carrier connectivity

Three Internet carriers, our own ASN, 100% controlled routing

DINAO has its own autonomous system number (ASN), the identifier that defines a fully fledged network operator on the Internet. In practice: we depend on no reseller, we negotiate directly with transit carriers and we control all of our routing.

Our Internet access is spread across three independent carriers, connected to both of our datacenters. Inbound and outbound traffic is balanced and automatically rerouted via BGP if a carrier fails: a problem at any one of them is completely invisible to your users.

This architecture guarantees permanent Internet connectivity and optimises performance by choosing the best path for your data in real time.

Network redundancy at every layer

Resilience is not limited to Internet connectivity. At DINAO, redundancy is applied to every layer of the network infrastructure:

The DINAO Network - High-availability equipment
The DINAO Network - Multiple physical links
The DINAO Network - Multiple carriers, multiple datacenters
The DINAO Network - Dynamic BGP routing

Inter-datacenter interconnection

Two independent physical paths, active simultaneously

Our two sites are connected by two dedicated very high-speed links, operated by two different carriers. These links are active simultaneously: this is not a backup link, but two paths running in parallel in production.

This architecture ensures that a complete outage of either link has no impact: the other one immediately absorbs all of the traffic, with no reconfiguration.

Thanks to our unified network fabric, virtual machines, data and services enjoy the same network quality whichever site hosts them.

Traffic control and network security

Security and traffic control are an integral part of our network architecture, not a layer added as an afterthought:

Key figures

2 active datacenters — Marseille & Sophia-Antipolis, over 150 km of geographical separation
3 independent Internet transit carriers
2 inter-datacenter links through different carriers
1 own ASN — DINAO is a fully fledged network operator
< 1 second automatic failover in the event of a failure
0 single point of failure (SPOF) on the network path
24/7 — active monitoring of the infrastructure
