LightBound, an Indiana managed server host, has expanded its service offereings to include virtual servers, backups, and storgae via its new SAN.
A storage area network (SAN) is an architecture to attach remote computer storage devices (such as disk arrays, tape libraries, and optical jukeboxes) to servers in such a way that the devices appear as locally attached to the operating system. Although the cost and complexity of SANs are dropping, they are still uncommon outside larger enterprises. A System Area Network (SAN) is a high-performance, connection-oriented network that can link a cluster of computers.
LightBound can use this new technology to better serve its customers using a wide variety of data recovery, disaster recovery, business continuity, and sever collocation needs

LightBound's Internet compared to other ISPs
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 by
Kate Rance
I was speaking with a customer today reagrding our internet compared to other internet providers in Indiana. LightBound maintains a physical presence in two network access points located in Chicago, Illinois and Ashburn, Virginia, providing diversity, redundancy, and "always on" availability for our customers. LightBound interconnects with other tier one providers such as AT&T, Level3, and UUNet with gigabit connections which gives us an aggregate transport capacity in excess of 4Gb/s back to our datacenter in Indianapolis. In addition, we maintain private peering connections both locally and in Chicago and Ashburn. We are interconnected with the Equinix "packet exchange peering fabric" in both network access points. This allows us to directly peer with hundreds of popular destination networks such as Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Facebook, the GigaPOP education network, as well as many local carriers.
So, not all internet providers are the same. LightBound may not be the cheapest option, but it is the highest quality in Indiana.

LightBound offers SIP
Wednesday, September 23, 2009 by
Kate Rance
LightBound, an Indiana VoIP sevice provider, offers Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). SIP is a widely used signaling protocol. It is used in voice and video calls over Internet Protocol (IP) by using the TCP/IP based Application Layer protocol.
LightBound can supply its Asterisk-based phone customers with SIP directly. If a customer does not have an Asterisk based server, a VoIP gateway would be required to translate the SIP line to the existing phone system.
As SIP is becoming more widely used its benfits include: reduced equipment costs, using a text-based protocol that allows for direct inspection by administrators, and the User-Agent field is sent in request messages, which means that the receiving SIP server can see this information; which can be useful in diagnosing SIP compatibility problems.
