Hosting provider OVH.com earlier today announced that they now offer dedicated servers with a 40 Gbps connection, a first on the worldwide market. This innovation leads to an evolution of datacenters’ networks, which are now equipped for 40 and 100 Gbps connections. This shouldn’t come as a shock as six years ago, OVH.com became the first hosting provider to supply dedicated servers connected to a 10 Gbps network in Europe. Available on the “Big Data” and “Storage” lines, the 40 Gbps connection fastens data exchanges between servers through the vRack, a private network.
The 10 Gbps connection remains a standard on our public network, designed for exchanges between the servers and the Internet. However, over the course of the past three years, needs have evolved, so the clients do not only manage one or two servers for a website, but they administer entire infrastructures of servers synched together. With the vRack, OVH.com offers a large private network allowing connectivity between dedicated servers and the Dedicated Cloud. The hosting provider stands out on the market by extending the vRack to its 15 datacenters, including across North America and Europe.
OVH.com customers have put in place Hadoop and OpenStack Swift clusters with data volumes that can go over 100 Pb and are often configured across multiple datacenters. The need for 40 Gbps comes into play at this point. These horizontal networks across datacenters are forced to work on a smart combination of the 40 and 100 Gbps connections, depending on the delay time that separates the servers.
If you need speed from your hosted solution, OVH.com is likely going to be the first call that you make.
