Simply Mail Solutions joins RIPE
SMS to upgrade its network infrastructure to cope with growth
Warrington,
UK, Wednesday 5th August 2009. Leading UK email
hosting company SMS has announced that it has joined RIPE (Réseaux IP
Européens) NCC which is the European Internet Registry that provides Internet resource allocations,
registration services and co-ordination activities that support the operation
of the Internet globally. RIPE is a major part of the Internet’s “plumbing”
which keeps the whole thing running. By doing so SMS will be able to control
and develop its own Internet infrastructure and connectivity to meet the
growing demand from individuals and small businesses for its services.
Commented Keith Pritchard, Technical
Director of SMS “Even though we are a hosting company rather than an ISP we
have reached the point in our growth where we need to take control of our own
network. By doing this (and joining the RIPE is an essential step) we will be
able to ensure more diversity of our connections to the Internet, develop our
facilities in secure hosting centres such as Telecity and smoothly increase our
bandwidth”.
The network upgrade will take place over the coming month as
new routers and new connections to the Internet are installed. Existing
customers will not in general experience any disruption and will be notified of
the changes well in advance. Looking further ahead SMS have found that larger
potential customers that have been in discussions regarding outsourcing their
email have indicated that they expect SMS to be running its own network and
hence having greater control over its quality of service.
RIPE is at:
