The Backbone Europe has been one of the most important components of the Anexia infrastructure since 2017. It extends on several redundant routes from Vienna via Frankfurt to Amsterdam. As part of the upgrade, the hardware was modernized and the network capacities expanded to a maximum total bandwidth of 2 Tbps. In addition to a high six-figure sum for the hardware upgrade, over 500 man-hours were also invested in the expansion.
