LeaseWeb launches the next generation of CDN
Due to the exponential increase of traffic in current web industries―for example, video on demand, live video, and online gaming―today’s Internet user requires an advanced technology to deliver this content as fast as possible, in the most reliable way. That’s where a Content Delivery Network (CDN) comes into play.
Scaling the Cloud: how we upgraded all of our customers’ instances
One of the advantages of cloud computing is the flexibility and redundancy it offers. If your cloud provider is running a fully redundant platform (in my opinion it can’t be done right any other way), most maintenance tasks can be performed without any impact for customers.
Keep on gaming! LeaseWeb helps Sunset Games’ Tank Fighter stay on target with 100% uptime
A guestblog By Shay Hugi, CEO of Sunset Games.
Picture this. You are a tank gunner chasing an elusive enemy. Finally you have them cornered. You take aim to blow them to smithereens… And your screen stutters and freezers. Not good. That’s why we chose LeaseWeb to make sure that does not happen to any of our players.
LeaseWeb first hosting provider worldwide to launch Law Enforcement Transparency Report
LeaseWeb supports the idea of an open and safe internet. As one of the world’s largest hosting and IT infrastructure companies, with approximately 3-4 % of all internet traffic generated by LeaseWeb customers, we believe that transparency on the issues we face and how we address those issues is very important. Therefore, as the first hosting provider in the global hosting market, we are unveiling our Law Enforcement Transparency Report for 2012. We hope it will contribute to a safer and more open internet with a proper balance of rights.
LeaseWeb tests the world’s first 6-watt server-class processor
Sometimes less can be more. There are types of web scale workloads that don’t require a lot of single threaded CPU performance, such as static web content delivery or low-end dedicated hosting. In those cases, using microservers based on multiple low-cost, low-power server processors can be an interesting prospect.

How to migrate 3000 servers in 3 nights
Have you seen our latest video? In late December last year, we finally completed the relocation into our new data center space in Northern Virginia. While prepping for the work, we decided to film the whole process, showing how we migrated 3000 servers in 3 days:
One of our company values is transparency, so there was no hesitation when we thought of allowing a crew to film a “behind-the-scenes” video of our relocation project. It would showcase our work processes, our technology, and most of all, the dedication of our team. It was exciting to capture on film the commitment of our engineers working on this project day and night, in perfect synergy to ensure a successful transition.
