DataPacket 2024: Year of expansion and innovation

As we step into 2025, we’re thrilled to look back on the incredible journey of 2024 at DataPacket. From breaking new ground in global connectivity to introducing cutting-edge hardware and celebrating a decade of innovation, this past year was defined by growth, progress, and collaboration. Every milestone we achieved was inspired by your trust and commitment, driving us to reach new heights.

Expanding our global presence

Bringing our services closer to your users remains a top priority. This year, we opened 8 new DCs in key locations worldwide: Melbourne, McAllen, Vancouver, Lima, Santiago, Lagos, Oslo, Budapest, and Palermo. We are not planning to slow down in 2025. Explore our growing data center network.

Hardware to outperform

Throughout the year, we've made significant updates to our server offerings to ensure peak performance and reliability. In the last year, we integrated top-of-the-line CPUs into our lineup, including:

• 1x AMD Ryzen 9 7900
• 1x AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D
• 1x AMD EPYC 9754
• 2x AMD EPYC 9754

Complementing these CPUs, we've upgraded storage options and equipped most servers with NICs featuring dual 10–100GE uplinks to maximize bandwidth. 

In response to increasing demand, we began offering servers with advanced GPUs in 2023, primarily catering to AI and video encoding tasks. We're currently curating an official selection of these servers, with more details to be revealed in Q1 2024. Stay tuned for these exciting updates!

More control to you

We've introduced 5 significant updates and several new features to our client panel to make managing services more straightforward and secure:

• Support Center: A streamlined approach for quicker and more efficient customer support.
• Passkey: Enhanced security features for better protection without complicating your experience.
• Role Team Members: Easier management of team roles and access.
• Reverse DNS Records: Simplified management for your domain names.
• Notifications and Status Section: Real-time updates to keep you informed about your account and systems.

Massive Deployment, Wider Network Coverage

This year, we've deployed over 8,000 dedicated servers to meet our clients' specific needs for performance and reliability. In parallel with this server deployment, we've significantly enhanced our network infrastructure. We added or updated 183 interconnections, which brought an extra 29,500G of capacity to our network. Additionally, we've fortified our global backbone with an extra 6,000G, ensuring robust and efficient connectivity between locations.

Expanding Full Shield

While all our servers are protected by the Volumetric shield, we are committed to keep expanding our Full Shield against L4 protocol-based attacks. This year, we deployed Full Shield to Sydney, Dublin, Johannesburg, Houston, Copenhagen, Bucharest, Bogota, Warsaw, and Lisbon. Right now, we cover 34 locations with 15 more to go.

Looking Ahead

Here’s a warm thank you to our customers, partners, and team for making 2024 unforgettable—and a glimpse at the highlights that shaped this extraordinary year. Together, let’s embrace all the possibilities 2025 has to offer! 🎉
