WorldStream Expands Global Hosting Network, Adds Milan PoP

NAALDWIJK, The Netherlands — Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) hosting provider WorldStream has expanded its high-volume global network to include a point of presence (PoP) in one of IRIDEOS’ 15 data centers in Milan, Italy.

WorldStream offers security-focused services including dedicated servers, colocation and DDoS attack mitigation, with its network expansion adding to the company’s established network capabilities in Southern Europe, further optimizing network speeds and latency rates for Italian customers serviced by WorldStream.

Since its founding in 2006, WorldStream has built a proprietary global network with a total capacity of currently 10Tbit/s, with a maximum network utilization of 50 percent to provide customers with high-scalability options and the ability to mitigate the impact of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.

With more than 90 percent year-on-year revenue growth and more than 15,000 dedicated servers under management in its company-owned data centers in the Netherlands, WorldStream caters to cloud service providers, managed service providers, systems integrators, broadcasters, internet service providers, independent software vendors, SMBs and enterprise companies.

As the third largest national economy of the eurozone and the eighth largest in the world, Italy is an important market for WorldStream, leading to the deployment of its point of presence in Milan.

The new PoP allows WorldStream to further enhance its network speeds and latency rates in this area, with a peering connection with the Milan internet Exchange (MIX) that connects WorldStream’s 10Tbit/s network with multiple regional connectivity providers including multiple transit providers and 28 private network interconnects (PNIs) connected to seven more internet exchanges including AMS-IX, NL-IX, DE-CIX and ECIX.

“Low latency, high-speed, high-redundancy and extreme security measures are key ingredients for the proprietary global network we have established since 2006,” said Lennert Vollebregt, CEO and co-owner of WorldStream. “I could share a lot of details on the technical specifications of this fully 100G equipped global network, about the cutting edge DWDM technology we’ve deployed as well as mitigation techniques, but I think the results speak for itself.”

“Very recently we’ve experienced several large-scale distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on our network, with attacks of even 350Gbps and more, but our 10Tbit/s network volume and scrubbing techniques were easily capable of protecting the availability of our clients’ IT and web infrastructures,” Vollebregt added. “The EVPN-VxLAN capabilities of our global backbone will allow us to further expand our product offering by creating borderless network services, twin/multidatacenter services and hybrid cloud solutions. The new PoP in Milan will further enhance these capabilities as well as the network speed and latency in Southern Europe.”
