LeaseWeb Raises Bandwidth Hosting Network to 500 Gbps

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands — Hosting provider LeaseWeb has increased the capacity of its hosting network from 210 Gbps to 500 Gbps, or half a Terabit. The increase was necessary in order to facilitate the exponential growth in bandwidth demand from existing and new clients, a company spokesman said.

The total capacity of LeaseWeb’s hosting network was increased from 160 to 210 Gbps in late May, and since June, bandwidth usage by LeaseWeb clients has increased from 100 to 240 Gbps. The available capacity of 500 Gbps is intentionally twice the actual use of bandwidth so LeaseWeb can provide quickly scalable hosting solutions as bandwidth demand increases.

“Bandwidth availability is a key requirement for many clients to be able to expand their Web environment,” said Pieter Dijkhuis, finance director of LeaseWeb. “This is as important as the available datacenter space and inventories of network and server equipment. Our proposition is designed to meet those requirements. We have ample space available in our carbon dioxide-neutral EvoSwitch datacenter, among other facilities, and we maintain large inventories of equipment for clients such as HP, Dell and Cisco.”

LeaseWeb’s number of clients has reportedly doubled since Jan. 1.

“Our client database has expanded to approximately 10,000 this year,” Dijkhuis said. “We are pleased with the trust that our clients have given us. Until last year, we primarily focused on developing a stable structure for our hosting network and our support organization. Growth is a key requirement for LeaseWeb to be able to maintain competitive prices and an attractive price-quality ratio.”

LeaseWeb provides hosting solutions primarily geared towards the professional market. The company's services include domain name registration, webhosting, dedicated servers, collocation, server virtualization, and streaming. LeaseWeb operates four datacenters in the Amsterdam region and is also present through Internet exchanges in Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Frankfurt, New York, Vienna, Stockholm, Warsaw, Zurich, Prague, and Madrid.
