GleSYS doet beroep op backbone van Telia Carrier voor grotere capaciteit en ondersteuning van groeiplannen
Bestaande netwerkcapaciteit verdubbeld en netwerkbereik uitgebreid naar nieuwe landen met een van ‘s werelds snelste glasvezelbackbones
STOCKHOLM–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Telia Carrier heeft vandaag aangekondigd samen te werken met een van de snelst groeiende hostingbedrijven in Zweden, GleSYS, aan een grotere capaciteit en ondersteuning van groeiplannen voor de toekomst. GleSYS zal verbinding maken met de internationale backbone van Telia Carrier, een van de grootste ter wereld en de eerste die 100G faciliteert in Europa en Noord-Amerika. GleSYS verleent hosting- en datacenterdiensten voor vierduizend klanten in zeventig landen.
GleSYS steunt met zijn twee reservedatacenters in Zweden en netwerklocaties voor cloudhosting verscheidene sectoren, zoals eCommerce, waar prestaties, reactievermogen en betrouwbaarheid op mondiale schaal van cruciaal belang zijn, omdat ze direct invloed uitoefenen op de omzet. Telia Carrier faciliteert 100G-IP-transport en golflengteservices ter verdubbeling van de capaciteit op de huidige infrastructuur van GleSYS, die cloudhosting, specialistische servers en co-locatie levert op meerdere locaties in Europa.
GleSYS Tap Into Telia Carrier Backbone to Increase Capacity and Support Growth Plans
Existing network capacity doubled and network reach extended into new countries with one of the world’s largest fiber backbones
STOCKHOLM–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Telia Carrier announced today that it is working with one of Sweden’s fastest growing hosting companies, GleSYS, to provide improved capacity and support future growth plans. GleSYS will be connecting to the Telia Carrier global backbone, one of the largest in the world, and the first to be 100G enabled in Europe and North America. GleSYS provides hosting and data centre services to over 4,000 customers in 70 countries.
With two fully redundant datacentres in Sweden and a network of cloud hosting locations, GleSYS supports a range of industries, such as eCommerce, where performance, responsiveness and reliability on a global scale have a direct impact on revenues and are therefore critical. Telia Carrier will be providing 100G IP Transport and wavelength network transport services to double available capacity on GleSYS’ current infrastructure, which provides cloud hosting, dedicated servers and colocation in multiple sites across Europe.
Eric Lindsjö, Head of Networks at GleSYS, said; “The increased capacity and reliability of our network prepares us now for the services our clients will need in the future to support their customers with amazing user experiences. It also gives us the capabilities needed to support our own growth plans as we expand into new countries. After considering a number of carriers, we chose Telia Carrier not just because of the speed and reach of its IP backbone, but because despite being a large company, it retains the agility and attitude to succeed of a much smaller organisation.”
Telia Carrier’s global fiber backbone is 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 230 Points of Presence (PoPs) across Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East including over 80 PoPs in North America alone.
Speaking about the announcement, Mathias Lind of Telia Carrier, said; “End users today demand the highest quality online experiences at any time, on any device, and from anywhere. The market sets high standards and we are committed to meet these requirements. Low latency, high availability and a scalable solution are critical for GleSYS to empower a flexible IT infrastructure for their customers. We are proud of the partnership with GleSYS and the trust they are giving us to support them with their connectivity needs as they expand in Europe.”
