Looking ahead: LeaseWeb and Cloud
At LeaseWeb, the Product Development and Operations departments are working together on building a new cloud platform. We’re now at a stage where we can share our vision on the cloud, what it means for LeaseWeb and how we implement it into our products.
LeaseWeb’s network activities during the holiday season and beyond
Today’s post gives you an insight into LeaseWeb’s networking department and our activities during December. As you know, we’ve had a really busy year providing reliable and high capacity data to and from the internet and across our customers, whilst managing network access and security.

The LeaseWeb development team is working around-the-clock, eagerly preparing and testing the latest customer offering, our new Content Delivery Network (CDN) provision. Interested in seeing what the LeaseWeb CDN can do for you? We are currently offering two months of free traffic to customers wishing to beta test our service.

GUS2CAS: Improving our hosting services across the globe
Setting up hosting services in ‘foreign’ territory isn’t something that you can set up in a day, not even if you’re already an international hosting provider. Step-by-step you build up your business, paying attention to your customers’ demands and evolving your proposition accordingly. At LeaseWeb, this process became a large ‘behind the scenes’ project we dubbed GUS2CAS. We are very happy to announce that last week, we successfully deployed the first phase of this project. We’ve added important new features to our website based on customer feedback and improved the back end of our ordering system. Read on to learn what has been changed.

Please visit http://www.ocomcareers.com and don’t forget to add us to your favorites!
LeaseWeb inside scoop: System Administration
As Ruud’s last blog post showed, Ocom (and LeaseWeb with it) is growing pretty fast. We wouldn’t be able to accomplish results like these without a motivated and skilled group of people. Behind our website, products and impressive bandwidth graphs there are a number of teams working on keeping us up and running – and we’d like to introduce some of them in a series of interviews.
CDN beta update
About a month ago we started our CDN beta program to see how our system performs in a real-world scenario. The first results are coming in, so it’s time for a small update on where we are and how things are going.
CDN goes beta: New Content Delivery Provides LeaseWeb Customers Advanced Scalable CDN Options
Very shortly some of our customers will take part in a beta program to validate our new Content Delivery Network (CDN) product. This is another step in a continuing program at LeaseWeb to offer internet technologies, which can efficiently deliver content to users. CDN leverages our high quality, high bandwidth network with an advanced implementation of CDN to meet LeaseWeb client requirements.
Filtering: the pilot
Since a report by the WODC (see Filtering The Internet) stated that it is unclear whether filtering is effective or not, we have been in contact with the Ministry of Justice and Meldpunt Kinderporno (Hotline combating Child Pornography) and discussed ways of reducing child pornography on the Internet. Although we, as a Service Provider, are not responsible for the content our customers put online, we find it good corporate governance to do everything we can to reduce this problem. As a result we will start a pilot soon with filtering images.
Honeypot Project
Recently we have started a small honeypot project within our network to monitor and analyze malicious requests. With this information we can make our network more secure.
