FREMONT, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hurricane Electric, the world’s largest IPv6-native Internet backbone and a leading colocation provider, today announced that Renesys, the authority in global Internet intelligence has named Hurricane Electric to its Baker’s Dozen list of top Internet providers of 2013.
“This recognition reflects the hard work of Hurricane Electric’s team and our commitment to provide as much Internet service as possible to as many people as possible around the globe.”
According to the January 9, 2014 report, Hurricane Electric’s addition to the list can be attributed to an increase in transit from the Communications Authority of Thailand (AS 4651) and Rostelecom (AS 12389)
“Hurricane Electric is thrilled to be part of this prestigious ranking,” said Mike Leber, President of Hurricane Electric. “This recognition reflects the hard work of Hurricane Electric’s team and our commitment to provide as much Internet service as possible to as many people as possible around the globe.”
Renesys began their “Baker’s Dozen” in 2008 by compiling the 13 providers that spent time in the Top Ten rankings the previous year. In its most recent report, Hurricane Electric was named to this list among the other top global players powering the world’s Internet.
Hurricane Electric employs a resilient fiber-optic topology, and has no less than four redundant paths crossing North America, two separate paths between the U.S. and Europe, and rings in Europe and Asia. Having first deployed IPv6 in 2001, Hurricane Electric offers IPv6 as a core service; every customer is provided IPv6 connectivity as well as classic IPv4 connectivity.
