12/15/2005: Webair Builds New Network in Amsterdam
Webair, whose secure and affordable hosting options have kept webmasters in good stead since 1996, now has a network in Amsterdam.
This latest development will be of particular interest to businesses with marketing strategies targeting European traffic. The new Webair network reduces latency to nearly zero, a far cry from the 80ms of latency needed to get from Europe to any site hosted in North America.
The new network utilizes fully-redundant Cisco and Juniper routing equipment; it connects to multiple upstream providers and supports peering as well. Webair also owns transport between its Amsterdam network and its North American network. This way, traffic connecting with servers at both locations stays on Webairs network, maintaining the highest performance and route optimization.
Now with a presence in both Europe and North America, Webair is an attractive offshore backup option for companies located on either continent. Their backup technology, which utilizes Webair’s international network, ensures offshore backups are completed quickly and reliably.
President, Michael Christopher is pleased with the companys expansion: "From the beginning, Webair was created by webmasters for webmasters. By offering connectivity and hosting services in Amsterdam, we give our clients the ability to succeed in a global economy."
Thanks to an exclusive partnership with one of the top hardware suppliers in the Netherlands, new servers can be built quickly, and most often with same-day turnaround time. The technical staff is on-site 24/7, and consists entirely of experienced professionals who have been trained to maintain the high level of service and support that has always been applauded by Webair’s client base.
The Amsterdam network can accommodate Virtual Hosting as well. It’s the best of both worlds. Clients enjoy the long-standing benefits of Webair’s current hosting platform, coupled with the added value of having their servers physically located in Amsterdam. Supporting services, such as SQL and backups, are local to the servers, and clients can continue to use their existing Webair control panel to administrate accounts located in Amsterdam. Functions such as, automatic server reboots, Site/FTP/SQL/Backup/account management, and many others, will operate normally.
