We are writing to inform you of a significant infrastructure upgrade that will be taking place in January 2025. This transition is aimed at enhancing our service reliability, performance, and security.

To accommodate our growing customer base and optimize our operations, we will be migrating our main data center in Amsterdam from Equinix AM5 to Digital Realty AMS5. This move is necessitated by the limitations of Equinix AM5, such as restricted space and power capacity.

By consolidating our operations at Digital Realty, we will be able to:

  • Offer greater control over hardware positioning and layout with our custom-designed cage, resulting in improved cooling efficiency and layout optimization.
  • We will be implementing improved security measures due to our full control of the cage.
  • Digital Realty will enable us to provide quicker service provisioning, better meeting the needs of our expanding customer base.
  • Additionally, this consolidation will lead to more efficient cost management, allowing us to continue offering competitive pricing while maintaining high-quality services.


In addition to the infrastructure migration, we will also be implementing several enhancements to our network stack, including:

  • Automating manual processes streamlining deployment processes and improving provision duration of orders.
  • Upgrading all transit ports to 400G technology, with multi-terabit capacity to all transit providers, expanding our network and mitigation capacity.
  • Introducing our new additional transit provider Orange.
  • We will be upgrading our current network hardware with newer, more efficient choices.
  • Installing additional DDoS mitigation systems and capacity to further enhance our network mitigation layer (allowing for the release of the application shield).



We understand that this information may be concerning, and we want to assure you that our team is working diligently to minimize any disruption to your services. You will receive a follow-up email on November 1st with the exact dates and a breakdown of the migration with any potential impacts on your services.


If you have any questions regarding these changes, feel free to reach out to us so we can provide support.

Sincerely,
The RoyaleHosting Team
