(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web hosting provider Triple Fiber Network (www.3fn.net) announced last week that it has completed an upgrade to its European backbone.
The company says in a press release that by “upgrading major web hosting network equipment” within key European cities, it has “achieved considerable improvement” in the performance of IP network connectivity.
According to the announcement, the upgrade means faster and more reliable hosting services for the company’s customers in Europe. 3FN says its strategy includes further backbone upgrades around the world, with the priority of those upgrades to be determined by the company’s customers.
The press release says 3FN is headquartered in San Jose, California, with offices established in the UK, India, Ukraine and the European Union.
“Being a world leading web hosting provider, our company’s main aspiration is to make our web hosting services available with a top level of quality from every spot on a globe,” says Dean McToner, whom the release describes as the 3FN official representative. “Thus, in near future all our web hosting services will be upgraded and enhanced even if there is no need in it; all upgrades are implemented in order to power our customers with unprecedented quality of web hosting.”
3FN says that as new and better equipment emerges, the company implements it throughout its network, though it doesn’t describe specifically what equipment the upgrade to the European IP network involves.
The company’s website does include a section that describes its network topology in some detail.
A recent string of announcements from 3FN seem to demonstrate a commitment to continuously upgrading its services. In November, the company announced improved hardware monitoring and replacement, new DDoS protection services, the addition of an intrusion prevention system, new dedicated server operation software and another somewhat generic-sounding “enhancement.”
