How Datapark enhanced performance for customers

Since 1997, Datapark AG has been a trusted ISP for Eastern Switzerland, known for a reliable network that serves regional businesses, cable network operators, and industrial clients. To meet the rising demand for high-performance international connectivity, Datapark partnered with IP-Max and DE-CIX to achieve a scalable, high-speed connection via direct peering in Frankfurt.

Rising latency in international data traffic

In recent years, Datapark experienced a significant uptick in data traveling beyond Swiss borders, leading to latency issues that threatened their commitment to low-latency connectivity. In partnership with IP-Max, a DE-CIX partner, Datapark found an ideal solution to reduce latency and streamline international data traffic. By leveraging the GlobePEER service in Frankfurt, Datapark achieved maximum flexibility and additional redundancy to complement their existing peering in Switzerland.

This solution provided immediate benefits: minimized latency, stable costs, and simplified network management. Importantly, Datapark now has the opportunity to peer with providers unavailable within Switzerland. And in case of any issues, Datapark can count on direct support from IP-Max in Switzerland.

Reliable connectivity that benefits everyone

Since adopting DE-CIX peering through IP-Max in December 2021, Datapark has doubled its Frankfurt bandwidth. The impact is tangible: Datapark’s industrial clients now experience enhanced performance at stable prices, and end users enjoy smoother connectivity to popular services.
