6. Topology (Sabah.Net Nodes)

Please click on the image to get a larger view.

Sabah.Net is a centrally-managed Wide Area Network (WAN) running on Frame Relay technology. It supports any-to-any data communications within an organization and among organizations that are connected to Sabah.Net.

Secure network architecture is implemented to allow Sabah.Net users to interchange information in a secured manner. Hence, Sabah.Net is segregated into various network backbones according to the level of security and the provision of services in each backbone.

The High-Speed Backbone forms the heart of the Sabah.Net where all connectivity converges. It runs on Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networking technology, which can provide a transfer rate of up to 155Mbps. This is upgradable to 622Mbps in the future. Electronic Government backbone, Electronic Commerce backbone, Electronic Education backbone, and Sabah.Net Internet Gateway are interconnected via this high-speed backbone. Tight security control via leading industry Firewall is enforced to regulate communication among the backbones to avoid unauthorized access.

Instead of connecting information servers, application servers and web servers that are accessible by Internet directly to the various network backbones, these servers would be placed in the Internet Server Farm. This is to ensure minimal Internet-originated data traffics entering into Sabah.Net and hence minimizing security breach from the Internet.

A modem dial-up network infrastructure is also implemented to extend Sabah.Net services to users in remote regions.This infrastructure allows 270 concurrent users to access Sabah.Net by dialing into a toll-free number: 1-300-88-2020.
