Hello,
We have a lot of news to share with you. When writing it, we realized that it's far too long to read it at once. We have therefore divided it into 5 parts. Here is 1 / 5. Hoping that it is not too long:)
Housing
- The DC1 datacentre in Paris is not yet fully filled. There is still some space for quarter racks.
- We are working on the backup platform, which will be included in the price of housing. We will offer ftp access of 1TB. The backup server will be located in another datacentre and in another city.
- Options such as KVM or firewall will also be proposed but it is still quite difficult to target the needs exactly. Do not hesitate to give us any feed back about this.
Network:
- We are finishing the deployment of ChtiX in Warsaw. Probably within 10 days, the router will be available and we will be able to connect on PL-IX. It is quite complex LIM that is not a datacentre but a hotel. 3 floors of this hotel was built in a few rooms to accomadate all problems that can be imagined: the weight of inverters, electrical power, air conditioners and ... pigeons entering the rooms because the windows are open to vent heat, but mainly because the floors are full. You must know people to find room here which is precisely to deliver VLAN services. It is being finalized.
- We still have to finish the deployment of 1 or 2 switches in Brussels and Amsterdam. Then finish the ChtiX loop in Paris in 10G DWDM. The first 2 ChtiX customers are being interconnected in beta with 6 months of free service (1 in Italy and 1 in Spain) for transport services 100M/1G to peering points. The site must be born in 2 weeks. We want to automate configuration of all equipment to deliver these services.
- Towards mid-January, the network capacity will be increased to 30Gbps. Indeed 3 new 10G will serve for 2 new peering. What point peering? It will be a real surprise ...
- We are currently studying the project of extending our network between Brussels and Frankfurt (via Liege, Cologne and Bonn). We should finalize the study next week and then sign purchase orders in the crowd. The goal is to have 100GBP capacity of end January 2009 between Roubaix and Frankfurt through our network in Brussels. With the start of Prague, Vienna, Zurich and Milan, we must have a network capacity more importantly in Frankfurt. The pattern of our network: http://weathermap.ovh.net/europe
- In late January, we will present Lyon and Marseille with a network of 10G. Thus, we will further secure our Southern Loop (Madrid and Milan). Also, we will seek Regional Peerings, eg Neuf Telecom.
- To offer dedicated game servers for all customers in Europe, we have developed a technology called DEW "DataEveryWhere." Indeed, for the players what is most important is the latency of the network, the famous ping. To reduce ping, it should be closer to the players. With a geographically accommodation in France (in our datacentre in Paris-Roubaix City and we host over 50% of French gaming servers) the market for games DE / ES / NL / CZ / PL / AT / IT. We are therefore automatically closed. DEW technology is based on transporting "data" and hosting "data" across Europe. Everything first carriage. Through the use of 2 different frequencies (C and L band), we know develop 2 networks on 1 fiber optics. First, a network of 100GBP long distance between the capitals (Brussels and Frankfurt with infinity). Later on the same fiber optic we set up a 2nd independent transport network but with a dance presence (for example Liege, Cologne, Bonn and Katzenelnbogen). Thanks to the geographic granularity, we know have a capacity of 40Gbps secure very local. For example 70km from Frankfurt (at Katzenelnbogen) or 70km of Amsterdam (Rotterdam). We plan this transportation technology "in the datacentre containers" (which we have developed this year and we are testing, we give 18 months of testing) to deploy in a few days, infrastructure can host between 1000 and 4000 dedicated servers where you want. It is believed that end of 2009 we should deploy the 1st set outside the city of Roubaix.
- We will begin to upgrade the network between Roubaix and London to 100GBP. We have needs for the month of March 2009.
- Our traffic has exceeded 140Gbps to 400Gbps capacity. It should reach 150Gbps by the end of the year.
To be continued: shortly.
