3FN Completes European Network Upgrade (December 29, 2008) - Web hosting provider Triple Fiber Network (www.3fn.net) announced last week that it has completed an upgrade to its European backbone.
The company says in a press release that by "upgrading major web hosting network equipment" within key European cities, it has "achieved considerable improvement" in the performance of IP network connectivity.
According to the announcement, the upgrade means faster and more reliable hosting services for the company's customers in Europe. 3FN says its strategy includes further backbone upgrades around the world, with the priority of those upgrades to be determined by the company's customers.
The press release says 3FN is headquartered in San Jose, California, with offices established in the UK, India, Ukraine and the European Union.
"Being a world leading web hosting provider, our company's main aspiration is to make our web hosting services available with a top level of quality from every spot on a globe," says Dean McToner, whom the release describes as the 3FN official representative. "Thus, in near future all our web hosting services will be upgraded and enhanced even if there is no need in it; all upgrades are implemented in order to power our customers with unprecedented quality of web hosting."
3FN says that as new and better equipment emerges, the company implements it throughout its network, though it doesn't describe specifically what equipment the upgrade to the European IP network involves.
The company's website does include a section that describes its network topology in some detail.
A recent string of announcements from 3FN seem to demonstrate a commitment to continuously upgrading its services. In November, the company announced improved hardware monitoring and replacement, new DDoS protection services, the addition of an intrusion prevention system, new dedicated server operation software and another somewhat generic-sounding "enhancement."
3FN Ups Hardware Swap Capability (December 1, 2008) - US-based dedicated, shared and colocation hosting provider Triple Fiber Network (www.3fn.net) has improved its hardware monitoring and replacement services for its suite of web hosting services, letting it identify and replace malfunctioning hardware and perform upgrades instantly.
"Hardware monitoring and replacement services can be the key criteria for successful web hosting as there is no such thing as absolute uptime or reliability of web hosting. However, we have achieved results very close to absolute, providing 99.99 percent uptime and reliability of our web hosting," 3FN spokesperson Dean McToner said in a statement.
The new improvement lets the company perform any replacements or upgrades immediately, providing web hosting with the flawless functioning and maximum possible uptime. Whether its the central processor, power unit, RAM or hard disk drive, any malfunctioning server part can be replaced by a new one immediately. Servers can also be upgraded instantly at the request of web hosting customers.
"The stability and reliability of web hosting directly depends on web hosting hardware monitoring and replacement services and improving these services we improve our web hosting considerably," McToner said. We have achieved such high level of web hosting services uptime only due to quality and careful hardware monitoring and replacement services, which help always react quickly and fix any hardware issue on our web hosting."
As part of its web hosting improvement plan to make its network stable and reliable, in November, Dedicated, shared and colocation hosting provider 3FN added a new intrusion prevention system integrated into all its web hosting services.

"Our company has achieved such unprecedented security level of web hosting due to enhanced intrusion prevention system that is now implemented to all web hosting services by 3FN."

It is also the latest web hosting provider to announce an intrusion prevention enhancement.
In late October, India-based telecommunications giant Tata Communications (www.tatacommunications.com) partnered with unified threat management solutions provider Fortinet (www.fortinet.com) to launch its virtualized unified threat management solution to Indian customers, offering them firewall, intrusion detection and prevention, anti-virus, anti-spam, and web content filtering as part of its Managed Security Services portfolio.
