But in addition to the many negative effects, there were also a few positive effects, at least in the case of digitization, which resulted in a big jump in IT statistics.<\/p>\n<p>In no time at all, all offices and classrooms around the world were empty. Public spaces were left deserted, and most time had to be spent within one&#8217;s own four walls. Home office and homeschooling brought us back together virtually.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5643\" src=\"https:\/\/anexia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Backbone-Update-2021-1-Digitalisierung-1.png\" alt=\"Corona digitization push\" width=\"600\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anexia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Backbone-Update-2021-1-Digitalisierung-1.png 1800w, https:\/\/anexia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Backbone-Update-2021-1-Digitalisierung-1-300x137.png 300w, https:\/\/anexia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Backbone-Update-2021-1-Digitalisierung-1-1024x466.png 1024w, https:\/\/anexia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Backbone-Update-2021-1-Digitalisierung-1-768x350.png 768w, https:\/\/anexia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Backbone-Update-2021-1-Digitalisierung-1-1536x700.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, video conferencing solutions were in such high demand that network bandwidth requirements soared to unprecedented heights virtually overnight. Video streaming providers also knew how to seize the opportunity and achieved enormous growth rates. Finally, it was time to consume the whole series at once. The word network bandwidth became a term that even the less technically savvy had to learn.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the many exceptional situations and load peaks, we were always able to provide our business customers with sufficient network capacity with Backbone Europe, without any noticeable restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Backbone Europe 2.0 Upgrade<\/h2>\n<p>As a professional cloud provider, forward-looking capacity planning is an absolute prerequisite for being able to easily cover traffic requirements for increasing demands and unexpected peaks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8222;Can it be a little more?&#8220; is a question that is always immediately answered with &#8222;yes&#8220; in the network environment.
