“For our streaming customers, latency isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s mission-critical. With Inter.link, we’re seeing sub-millisecond performance from Frankfurt. That’s exactly what we need.”
Volker Lieder – CEO at uvensys
About uvensys
uvensys was founded in 2012 to deliver managed hosting services for B2B clients, the majority of whom are based in D/A/CH.Their core competence has always been primarily in Linux and OpenSource, and they are present in four data centers, mostly in Frankfurt, but there is one backup data center in Limburg.
The Challenge
One of uvensys’ most important peering connections is with Vodafone because their clients rely on it, particularly for low latency streaming services.
Vodafone’s change in approach to peering meant that uvensys were at risk of having bad performance to clients coming from Vodafone if other peering points were overused.
The Solution
As Vodafone’s selected partner, Inter.link built a new peering service as part of their platform and uvensys became one of the first customers to utilise this next-generation tool.
FlexPeer moves away from traditional, static peering arrangements and toward a new approach which is automated, cloud-like, and scalable. uvensys were very glad to keep connection with Vodafone, which is easily upgradeable in 10G steps, and to extend their direct upstream providers with Inter.link.
Thanks to Inter.link’s quick and responsive support, uvensys was able to establish both a dedicated low-latency connection to Vodafone and IP Transit through Inter.link’s performance-driven network, using just one cross-connect and a single physical port.
