upgrades Internet backbone connection Los
Angeles - March 27, 2000
Aceweb Internet today announced that
due to increased traffic, they have upgraded their Internet backbone
connection for the second time in 12 months. The increased traffic
was, in large part, to its main portal SoftwareArchives.com (http://www.softwarearchives.com),
which is the gateway to all of the operating system archives maintained
by Aceweb Internet. The network traffic has been growing in excess
of 15 % per month, and nearly 40% of the unique users are downloading
software from the site.
The SoftwareArchives network has been significantly expanded in
recent months, with the addition of sites offering BeOS®, Macintosh®,
Java®, CGI, and computer game software. The additional sites,
as well as the growing popularity of the existing Windows NT®,
Windows CE®, Linux®, and Palm Pilot® sites, has greatly
increased the network traffic. This increase in traffic exhausted
the resources of the existing connection and forced an upgrade
to improve user access and download speeds.
Aceweb will be obtaining the additional bandwidth from InterNAP
Network Services (http://www.internap.com). Aceweb originally switched
its Internet backbone connection to InterNAP in 1999, and has found
that InterNAP’s unique traffic-routing technology has significantly
reduced packet loss and increased overall traffic speeds on the
network.
