PROJECT BACKBONE EUROPE
DDoS attacks are one of the greatest risks in IT. Protecting ourselves and our customers requires a strong network and high capacities. With the Project Backbone Europe, one of the largest investments ever made into our network, we turn this into a reality.
As part of the project, we were modernizing our hardware and drastically increasing network capacities for an even thicker skin against DDoS attacks. The Backbone Europe from Anexia, extending on two redundant routes from Vienna to Frankfurt and Amsterdam, has existed for many years. The current expansion, which started in 2017, is designed to significantly strengthen the network, which includes a hardware refresh as well as a capacity upgrade.

With the expansion of the Backbone Europe, the connections between our core locations in Vienna, Frankfurt and Nuremberg will be increased to multiple 100GE (Munich and Zurich with multiple 10GE). Two-way- redundant DWDM systems are installed in the metros in order to meet the growing demand for 10 and 100GE wavelengths.
The Backbone Europe has over 2 Tbps edge capacity with connections to carriers such as Telia Carrier, NTT Communications and Deutsche Telekom, a 100GE peering port at the DE-CIX ─ the world’s largest internet exchange point, as well as direct connections to various internet providers (PNIs) with more than 100 Gbps.
Network as a Service

The expansion of the Anexia Backbone Europe goes hand-in-hand with the network’s full automation. What does that mean?
By the end of the year and for the first time ever on the market, Anexia offers the opportunity for selected customers to gradually use the self-service of the Anexia Engine as well for network settings and bandwidth orders. These can be automatically provisioned and are made available within seconds. As a result, the network can be quickly and flexibly adapted to the requirements of the customer, since services can be booked or cancelled at any time and within minutes. We call it: Network as a Service!
