Datacenter
- A new 1 Gbps route has been put into operation, in total we have 2 independent 1 Gbps routes – a fully redundant 1 Gbps connectivity.(more information)
- Preparations for the first 10 Gbps route are still intensive – in June our backbone network will be rebuilt to 10 Gbps technology, Telefónica O2 is finalizing the connection of the 10 Gbps route to Prague.
- In parallel, preparations are underway for a second 10 Gbps route, which will be provided by ČD-Telematika. However, this cannot be done without construction work and the installation of several kilometres of fibre optic cables.
- From the RIPE organization we received another package of IPv4 addresses – 31.31.72.0/21.
