Hetzner has shown excellent growth over the past year, which saw the company\u2019s outbound traffic exceed 1.1 petabytes in November 2016.<\/p>\n
The hosting provider\u2019s outbound traffic \u2013 traffic that goes from its network to the Internet – increased by over 130% year-on-year.<\/p>\n
Hetzner\u2019s total bandwidth use across its Johannesburg and Cape Town networks is sitting at 1.7 petabytes per month.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur traffic ratios have remained consistent to the 30\/70 split between international and local (SA) traffic, despite the increase in traffic volumes,\u201d said Hetzner.<\/p>\n
To accommodate for the traffic growth and to increase the resilience of its network, Hetzner is installing a new layer 2 network to NAPAfrica.<\/p>\n
The new network will allow the company to peer directly at the NAPAfrica Internet exchange.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy having access to two exchange points in our data centre, we are able to peer with a wide range of telcos, ISPs, and other network operators,\u201d said Hetzner.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will further reduce our reliance on our transit (paid for) links, while increasing network capacity and resilience of our upstream connections.\u201d<\/p>\n
