Expansion for realising their philosophy twice as much bandwidth available as used by hosting clients.

LeaseWeb, a hosting provider in the Netherlands, today announced that it has expanded its already sizeable hosting network from 160 Gigabits per second to 210 Gbps. It stated that the extension was necessary to continue realising their philosophy: always have twice as much capacity available as the bandwidth used by clients with their internet sites.

Concretely, the expansion means that the company has acquired new port capacity from a number of telecom carriers and an internet exchange. The company avers that it has purchased 10 Gigabits of additional port capacity from Tata Telecommunications, formerly Teleglobe, and Global Crossing. TeliaSonera is delivering an additional 20 Gigabits of port capacity in their hosting network. Furthermore, to enable additional peering capability, the company says that it has bought 10 Gigabits of new port capacity from the London Internet Exchange.
