On our previous post (Biggest @ AMS-IX), we mentioned our upgrade at the AMS-IX to 120 Gbps and being the biggest AMS-IX traffic provider. We are proud to mention another threshold beaten: for the last week our traffic has been exceeding 500 Gbps, which is almost double of our traffic a year ago. This means we still double our traffic each year, and we currently expect this happening next year as well.
There are different estimations of the whole Internet traffic, but we may generate 0.5 up to 1% of the world Internet. In 2010 we will keep growing!

In my previous posts (Traffic Quadrupled) I mentioned the speed our total traffic is increasing. At this moment, our total traffic is almost hitting 500 Gbps (in April we did 300Gbps)!!
Last week, we connected another AMS-IX connection, which gives us a total of 120Gbps connection. At the very moment it was connected, we were already doing over 100Gbps at the AMS-IX. This makes us the largest traffic sending/receiving party on the largest internet exchange of the world! According to the AMS-IX there is no other company connected to the AMS-IX transmitting more traffic via the exchange as we do.

Our organization is growing fast, with a lot of new clients entering, even during these days of recession. The recent nomination of our parent company OCOM for the Deloitte Fast50 (http://www.fast50.nl/) in the Benelux displays the structural growth pattern, also of LeaseWeb, over the last couple of years. Growth is not everything for us however, client satisfaction is at least as important. Therefore we have decided to put more focus on key-account management. That is to say, personal attention for the accounts within our client base. Major clients will be adjudged a personal account manager with a proactive approach to their evolving hosting needs.

In October 2008, when the financial world collapsed and started a deep economic recession, LeaseWeb experienced one of its biggest growths measured in turnover per month. This was partly caused by a hosting provider in the United States which went belly up and losing some of its biggest customers to LeaseWeb. Our Support department was already under some stress at that time by the growth we had experienced during the months before but the sudden increase in new customers and growing support requests really put a strain on our support engineers.

A former client of LeaseWeb recently did a posting on one of the hosting blogs, I think it was Web Hosting Talk, in which he fulminated against the fact that one of h�s clients had choosen to do business with LeaseWeb directly.� Several of the reactions on this posting were luckily positive ones on the side of LeaseWeb, but I think it can do no harm to give a bit more of an explanation to our policy regarding resellers and doing business directly.
