Performance and
redundancy boost at
key traffic hub
Telia Carrier has been working with data centre
DATASIX to boost connectivity and, greatly
increase redundancy in Vienna, a key Internet
hub which previously only had one major data
centre handling all internet traffic towards
SE Europe and Turkey. Furthermore, 100G IP
Transit and Capacity services are now available
at DATASIX, enabling providers to enhance their
offerings to business and consumer customers.
Speaking about the announcement, Christian
Kelnberger of Telia Carrier, said: “Telia Carrier
is all about providing outstanding connectivity
and performance via our Internet backbone, so
we are delighted to be working with DATASIX
on this strategic regional initiative. In Vienna,
thousands of businesses rely on DATASIX for
their online presence and trading, as well as
millions of consumers for their access to fast
and reliable online services. So it has been
vital for its expansion plans to increase local
and regional capacity and performance at its
Vienna data centre and we are pleased to help
DATASIX achieve this.”
Telia Carrier’s global fibre backbone has
grown organically, without acquisitions, and
was the first to be 100G-enabled in both
Europe and North America. It’s also the first
network to successfully transmit 1 Tb/s in super
channels on its US network. According to Dyn
Research’s global backbone rankings, AS1299,
Telia Carrier’s global IP backbone, is currently
ranked as number one. Telia Carrier’s rapid
growth and ascension through the rankings was
highlighted in Dyn’s ‘Baker’s Dozen’ report.
The company enables worldwide connectivity
by connecting more than 220 Points of
Presence (PoPs) across Europe, North America,
Asia, and the Middle East including over 70 in
North America alone. n
