FREMONT, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Met deze mijlpaal, zet Hurricane Electric zijn wereldwijde leiderschapsrol voort en biedt het deskundige begeleiding in het leveren van de volgende generatie van internetprotocollen
Hurricane Electric, ‘s werelds grootste IPv6-native Internet backbone, kondigde vandaag aan dat het het eerste internet backbone in de wereld is om 200 unieke internethandelingen te verbinden.
Als vroege koploper in de omschakeling naar IPv6, Hurricane Electric verbindt nu het grootste aantal netwerken op de planeet voor IPv6 en IPv4 en staat aan de voorhoede van internetverbinding van hoge snelheid leveren aan organisaties die gebruik maken van: 100GE (100 Gigabit Ethernet), 10GE (10 gigabit ethernet), en GigE (1 gigabit ethernet) verbindingen. Als resultaat van de verbeterde connectiviteit met deze 200 handelingen, kunnen klanten het voordeel ontvangen van lagere vertraging, hogere doorvoer en verbeterde foutentolerantie.
Hurricane Electric Becomes First Internet Backbone to Connect to 200 Internet Exchanges around the Globe
FREMONT, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
With this milestone, Hurricane Electric continues its global leadership role while providing expert guidance in the delivery of next generation Internet protocol
Hurricane Electric, the world’s largest IPv6-native Internet backbone, today announced that it is the first Internet backbone in the world to connect to over 200 unique Internet exchanges.
As an early leader in the switch to IPv6, Hurricane Electric now connects to the largest number of networks on the planet for both IPv6 and IPv4 and has been at the forefront of providing high-speed Internet connectivity to organizations throughout the world using:100GE (100 Gigabit Ethernet), 10GE (10 Gigabit Ethernet), and GigE (1 Gigabit Ethernet) connections. As a result of the improved connectivity with these 200 exchanges, customers receive the benefit of lower latency, higher throughput and increased fault tolerance.
This reliable connectivity is especially important as global IP traffic continues to increase – Cisco’s Visual Networking Index: Forecast and Trends, 2017–2022 predicts that annual global IP traffic will reach 4.8 zettabytes (ZB) per year by 2022, or 396 exabytes (EB) per month, triple the 2017 rate.
“Hurricane Electric’s goal has always been to provide as much Internet service as possible to as many people as possible,” said Mike Leber, President of Hurricane Electric. “It’s exciting to reach this milestone, ensuring that we have as much local connectivity as possible in each geographic market that we are present in. Continuing to connect to more locations will provide our customers and others with fewer hops, reduced latency, and greater throughput.”
