Read up on all the news and developments in the broader IaaS Industry.
Earlier this week, we announced the first expansion of our CDN infrastructure. When we launched Leaseweb CDN back in June, we were serving 18 Gbps of data traffic. Since then, we have attracted new customers, pushing bandwidth usage to 150 Gbps. To support this growth, we had to significantly expand our infrastructure using SuperPoPs. Now, […]
Today we added a new feature to our Virtual Private Servers and Leaseweb Cloud, which can be a real lifesaver at times – ISO management. Typos, misconfiguration, or other mishaps can all lead to a non-usable or non-functional system. ISO management enables you to attach an ISO to your instance from which you can boot. […]
As an IaaS provider, we host multiple storage systems to support our Clouds. Unfortunately, earlier this week one of these platforms was causing issues, resulting in major headaches for both us and, more importantly, some of our customers.
The underwater world is nothing less than science fiction – with due respect to the flora and fauna – it’s the matrix of fiber optics orbiting the earth that transports you to a world of cabled mystery! And this real submarine world was created much before the Wachowski siblings came up with the idea of […]
Event sponsoring is one of the strategies that companies can follow when they seek to advertise, increase brand awareness and lead generation, or find new employees.

The advantages are obvious – free data traffic, easy scaling, and protected private traffic within your cloud. After […]
When you are managing a large video distribution platform, you probably know about the advantages of using a CDN, so I am not going to elaborate on that. But what factors do you need to consider when choosing a CDN? This blog post will give you some insights on this.
A guest blog by Michiel Steltman, Director of the DHPA (Dutch Hosting Provider Association). When you would ask an average EU citizen how the Internet works and where most websites and cloud services are hosted, most people will mention the U.S. as the main source of Internet technologies and services.

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.
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.
