Under the terms of the expanded multi-year service agreement, Level 3 will increase the total IP transit capacity it supplies to Jupiter Hosting. Level 3 also will replace multiple single-gigabit Ethernet ports with 10 GigE circuits in three of Jupiter Hosting's Silicon Valley, Calif. locations.
"Our customers have come to expect exceptional network performance and uptime," said Ray Taft, president and chief executive officer of Jupiter Hosting. "When it comes to the underlying technologies we use to serve our customers, we select only the best upstream providers.
"With the additional capacity these upgrades will provide, we'll now have the transmission capabilities to deliver the content new IPTV and video-on-demand frameworks require."
The upgrades are needed to support the expansion of the Jupiter Hosting network, enabling the firm to better serve its existing managed hosting customers, as well as to facilitate its entry into new markets. The upgrades will also simplify Jupiter Hosting's Internet protocol transit architecture to enable more efficient operations, according to the company.
"Jupiter Hosting has been a Level 3 customer for many years, and this new agreement further solidifies our shared commitment to Jupiter Hosting's continued growth and success," said Grant van Rooyen, senior vice president of Level 3's Content Markets Group. "Level 3 is uniquely positioned to be able to respond to the needs of clients like Jupiter Hosting that have experienced substantial IP traffic growth."
