IP Transit

In order to be able to offer our customers further selection options and location redundancy, we rented contiguous data center space in Firstcolo at the end of 2024. The data center located in Frankfurt is redundantly connected to our own edge routing via several fiber optic lines and is therefore completely independent of the operator's network operation. The DataForest racks in Firstcolo are used for our dedicated servers and colocation and maintained by our own employees, so that we are completely self-sufficient at this location as well and provide all services ourselves, including core routing (Juniper MX) and core switching (Arista).

As one of the world's largest operators of data centers, Interxion — today Digital Realty — has been an integral part of the hosting industry for decades. In Frankfurt alone, Digital Realty operates 25 data centers that meet the highest requirements for security, redundancy and certification. Because of the enormous density of network operators, carriers, and Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), a point of presence (PoP) on the Interxion campus is crucial for both the quality and capacity of our network. On the Interxion campus, we run the majority of our edge routing as well as our DDoS protection with a capacity of several terabits, bandwidth-intensive servers (40G/100G/400G) and customer racks for special requirements. The PoP is connected to our other locations via its own path-redundant fibre-optic lines.

Coming soon: We are already planning to open another location at the world's largest data center operator soon in order to expand our network and be able to offer our services to more customers.
