ColoCrossing Completes Dallas & Los Angeles Upgrades

jbilohjbiloh Administrator, Veteran
edited April 2016 in Providers

Thought I would post this on LET as I know you guys enjoy seeing the technical ugprades going on behind the scenes:

Through the first quarter of 2016 ColoCrossing has been focused on completing network upgrades at many of our locations throughout the United States. Previously we've posted about upgrades at our Buffalo NY location, where we added Telia transit, added connectivity to TORIX, and increased throughout speeds due to a network design enhancement that segregated our DDOS protection platform from the rest of our network.

We are big believers in Juniper at the network core/edge based on our excellent experience in Buffalo and Chicago where we have had Juniper gear installed for a few years. As a result, starting in January 2016 we began a network upgrade project at many of our other locations, including Dallas, Los Angeles, San Jose and NYC/NJ. We've installed brand new redundant Juniper MX480 and MX960 at our edge in Dallas and Los Angeles and Juniper EX4500/4550 units at the 10GE distribution layer. We've also added Telia transit in both Dallas and Los Angeles to improve routing, reduce latency and increase throughput. By the end of April we'll also be turning up XO Communications in Dallas, further increasing our capacity and network resiliency.

Redundant Dallas MX480's

Redundant Los Angeles MX960's

On April 18th we completed our San Jose network refresh by installing new Juniper equipment at the edge, increasing capacity and replacing older access layer equipment. All San Jose customers now enjoy 1 gbit port speeds and improved performance.

Before the end of April we are replacing our existing core equipment in NYC/NJ with new Juniper gear along with increasing network capacity. The end result of this overall network enhancement project will be complete consistency throughout the ColoCrossing network ensuring that customer experiences are exceptional across all datacenter locations.

We have even more great plans for 2016 which we look forward to sharing. At ColoCrossing we're committed to continually enhancing the product and service because we know our customers expect the best.

    They should use this for up to 25% energy savings:

    Seems to be NTT's problem, in London I go over Cogent and get 135ms.

    Hah, yes, we did clean that cabinet up. Actually our facility partner did that for us years ago free because the sloppiness was their fault.

    Have you fixed the 23.95.x range?

    As far as I know, I have a VPS with an IP on that range and I have to use Sendgrid to get emails through.

  • K4Y5K4Y5 Member

    CC has a pretty decent network, with the only downside being the fact a bunch of IP ranges are on SBL. If you could do something to keep the spammers out for good, and work on improving the reputation, that'd be nice.

    Regardless, the upgrades look pretty decent. Keep up the good work.

    We're working on it.

    Thanks for the nice comments.

    Thanks for sharing always appreciate photo's of network gear, any plans to run specials at those locations? I used to have dedicated servers L.A- Dallas with as it started Greenvalleyhost>Xfuse>Serverhost..Jumped around so much they were canceled out on me. I did enjoy both locations when I had the servers.

    One more update for you guys, the upgrades in NYC have been completed. We transitioned to juniper at the core and added capacity. It went very smoothly.

    Congratz. All seems really nice, only thing left now is SpamHaus. Oh yeah, IPv6 as well.
