The EasyNet data-center, Schiphol Rijk, Netherlands
Centrally located in Amsterdam’s top datacenter, Easynet’s network is 100% Cisco powered, from the switch to the core routers.
This multi-homed European network offers 37Gbps total network capacity, using 14 network carriers. Netnibble is connected to the following networks, using the BGP-4 protocol to select the fastest connection available, and also to provide redundant routing in case of network failure:
- AMS-IX 4 x 10Gbps
- BNIX 1 x 10Gbps
- DE-CIX 1 x 10Gbps
- Abovenet 7 x 1Gbps
- Global Crossing 2 x 10Gbps
- KPN Eurorings 1 x 10Gbps + 2 x 1Gbps
- Teleglobe / VSNL 1 x 10Gbps + 2 x 1Gbps
- TeliaSonera 2 x 10Gbps + 4 x 1Gbps
- NYIIX 1 x 1Gbps
- VIX 1 x 1Gbps
- NETNOD 2 x 1Gbps
- PL-IX 1 x 1Gbps
- Swissix 1 x 1Gbps
- NIX 1 x 1Gbps
Cisco 12400/12000/6500 routers are employed to ensure that our network stays up, 24/7/365. Unlike many datacenters, network downtime is a non issue at Easynet.
