As we approach the end of May and take a look back at the first quarter of 2023, we find ourselves reflecting on a transformative period here at Netrouting. During these few months, we have accomplished a series of milestones that have been instrumental in shaping the trajectory of our company. We’d like to take this opportunity to share these significant developments with you.
Operationalizing the business
We started the year off big by completing the operational separation of our business from Colohouse. This transition involved the complete separation of the HR systems and the billing systems as well as the transition of all the operational assets to respective new internal systems for monitoring the infrastructure. We also launched a 24x7x365 service desk for handling incidents and changes. We also completed the separation of the U.S. billing system from the EU billing system in order to continue the operational realignment of our business.
Rebranding our Netherlands Data Center
Our external growth has been just as successful as our internal development. As part of our rebranding activities, our Netherlands-based data center now also carries the DFDC (Data Facilities Data Centers) brand name. Our The Hague-based carrier-neutral data center is one of our flagship sites displaying the new corporate identity.
Infrastructure changes and lifecycle maintenance
We took a big step forward in growing our presence around the world by teaming up with Equinix in Stockholm. This partnership allowed us to bring together three separate data centers into one strong hub, which led to a major overhaul and update of our network and bare metal infrastructure in the area.
Following our global network lifecycle maintenance program, we replaced our entire network infrastructure in Hong Kong. With the help of our partners, Lumen and PCCW, we now offer top-tier connectivity in the local market.
Over 200 new dedicated servers available for immediate deployment
Hardware upgrades have also been a significant focus, with new bare metal infrastructure being installed across all our key locations. We have added Xeon E5-2600 v4 series, Silver and Gold series servers, boasting up to 2 terabyte of RAM, to our portfolio. These advanced servers are ready for immediate deployment in Amsterdam, Hong Kong, and Miami, and will soon be made available at all of our locations.
Our Plans and Expectations for Q2
As we move into Q2 we have increased the size of the billing and networking teams with some new talent. These new team members will play a crucial role in the continued growth of the company.
We are also busy resolving all unlinked Colohouse’s U.S. locations from our Netrouting international backbone. Additionally we are still busy with the maintenance of the network lifecycle in locations as Bucharest and Frankfurt.
The New Website
Our newly redesigned website and online shop will be launching in a few weeks. It gives customers an easy way to browse our expanded range of products and services.
The achievements of Q1 2023 and our progress in Q2 reflect our unwavering commitment to innovation and growth. As we continue to enhance our services, we are excited to share our journey with you in the coming months.
Stay tuned, as we navigate this exciting path towards delivering superior service and state-of-the-art solutions.
