June 7, 2007 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web hosting provider Jupiter Hosting (jupiterhosting.com) announced on Wednesday that it has installed a new core-to-edge network infrastructure comprised exclusively of switching and routing solutions by switching, routing and traffic management appliance vendor Foundry Networks (foundrynet.com).
In total, Jupiter Hosting says it plans to incorporate and deploy over 40 new Foundry switches and routers in its rapidly growing network.
Due to the growth in its high-volume bandwidth services, Jupiter Hosting aggregated all upstream and peering transit to 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and installed a new backbone and border architecture comprised of Foundry Networks’ NetIron XMR 4000 and 16000 backbone routers, which are configured to provide N+1 redundancy while supporting up to 81Gbps of IP transit. The new design will also boast the ability to efficiently scale to accommodate traffic flows of approximately 200Gbps within the coming years, says Jupiter Hosting.
“This new network took more than a year to design and plan. From the beginning of the process, the upgrade was a collaborative effort between Jupiter Hosting and Foundry Networks,” says Ray Taft, president and CEO of Jupiter Hosting. “Our network now has a complete platform architecture that will scale to accommodate future bandwidth and service expansion. We wanted an updated design that would position us to stay ahead of the curve as an industry leader in broadband media delivery. Only Foundry Networks offers a class of products with the advanced capabilities to meet our needs. From an engineering standpoint, there was no other vendor that came close.”
Last week, Jupiter Hosting selected Level 3 Communications’ Content Markets Group to upgrade its Internet access service to multiple 10 GigE circuits.
