VeriSign Expands Internet Infrastructure in Europe

VeriSign, a provider of internet infrastructure services, has announced additional infrastructure deployments in Europe with new sites in Paris, France and Brussels, Belgium to fortify its internet infrastructure.

VeriSign has deployed new regional internet resolutions sites (RIRS) in Paris and Brussels as part of its Project Titan initiative, the company’s plan to increase by 10 times the capacity of its global internet infrastructure by 2010.

Under Project Titan, VeriSign will increase its daily domain name system (DNS) query capacity from 400 billion queries a day to over four trillion queries a day and will increase the aggregate network bandwidth of its primary resolution centers around the world from more than 20 gigabits per second (Gbps) to greater than 200Gbps. VeriSign plans to expand its deployment of RIRS to more than 100 locations across the globe by 2010.

Ken Silva, chief technology officer at VeriSign, said: “By deploying a site in France, the more than 32 million internet users will now have a faster and more reliable experience connecting to the .com and .net infrastructure.”
