Online.net to boost capacity with France-IX
July 2016 by Marc Jacob
France-IX, the Paris and Marseille-based digital gateway to the MEA region, today announced that Online.net, one of the leading web hosting providers in France, is joining the growing number of its peering members to upgrade to 100Gbps ports. The migration from four 10Gbps ports to two 100Gbps ports will significantly boost capacity at Online and enable the company to deliver increased performance benefits to its customers. The first 100 Gbps port is due to go live in early July and the second by the end of the same month.
Part of the Iliad Group, which also owns the operator Free, Online has been providing hosting services since 1999. Today it hosts several hundred thousand websites across its three datacentres and offers a range of services including domain names, dedicated servers and web hosting to Internet stakeholders of all sizes, worldwide.
Online understands that performance doesn’t depend solely on processor power or the amount of RAM and so optimizes its entire platform, including its network capacity. With the release of France-IX’s 100 Gbps member ports, Online decided to upgrade from four 10 Gbps ports to two 100 Gbps ports enabling it to optimize its connection and reduce the complexity of port management.
