Network advantages in Amsterdam

Direct peering on the AMS-IX reduces hops to large Western European networks - good for time-to-first byte and stable throughputs. The Anexia backbone connects Amsterdam via several redundant paths (including Amsterdam ↔ Frankfurt ↔ Vienna) and was expanded on the hardware side during the Backbone Europe upgrade phase; total capacity up to 2 Tbit/s. In combination with netcup DDoS protection (Edge up to 2 Tbit/s), your traffic remains performant even during peak loads and attacks.
