Summary

We're proud to announce our participation in the RIPE Atlas project, a global Internet measurement network that allows us to test and validate access to our data centers from thousands of locations around the world in just minutes. Our networking team initially got involved with RIPE due to their responsibility of allocating IP space in Europe, and we've been running Atlas anchors at our SFO1, SGP1, and LON1 sites. By integrating this new distributed measuring ability with our existing systems, we'll be able to automate connectivity and throughput testing from just about anywhere in the world, improving our ability to detect Internet connectivity issues before they become problematic for customers.
