About us

As an Austrian company, upstreamNet has lived up to its excellent reputation for high-quality housing services and IP connectivity at the highest level for more than two decades. A change in the ownership structure in 2010, gave the successful company a broader base and the service and performance portfolio in the new company network is expanded to include infrastructure solutions, managed services, applications and qualified consulting services.

The focus of the company's activities will continue to be the operation of (financial)certified data centers in the Vienna area, as well as IP connectivity via the international network AS8218, which was set up in 2004 together with the French partner Neo Telecoms. As part of this network, upstreamNet provides, among other things, national Internet providers with a fail-safe international connectivity. The main focus is on customers who operate internet-critical services and require high bandwidths in addition to guaranteed availability. In spite of or perhaps because of these international possibilities, upstreamNet is your Austrian solution provider to realize all the topics in a straightforward, competent way and from a single source.

History

March 1999
Founding of AboveNet Communications GmbH, an Austrian subsidiary of AboveNet Communications Inc., one of the world's largest internet network and data center operators. The company is founded by a joint venture with the Raiffeisen Rechenzentrums GmbH.

March 2000
Metromedia Fiber Network (MFN) acquires AboveNet Communications Inc. with all its subsidiaries. In the course of this transaction, MFN also acquires the shares of Raiffeisen from the joint venture and AboveNet Austria is integrated into the Group as a whole.

March 2004
Das österreichische Tochterunternehmen wird im Rahmen der Umstrukturierung des Geschäftsbereiches der AboveNet Inc. über einen Management Buy-Out verkauft. Die Geschäftsleitung wird von Andreas Welleditsch, vormals General Manager von AboveNet Österreich und nunmehr geschäftsführender Gesellschafter, übernommen.

October 2004
AboveNet Communications GmbH firmiert nunmehr unter dem Namen upstreamNet Communications GmbH. Als Tier-2 Provider (lt. Wikipedia „Betreiber von großen, wichtigen, überregionalen Netzwerken“) versorgt das Unternehmen im neuen Betreibernetzwerk „AS8218“ die Kunden auch weiterhin mit hochverfügbaren Services in gewohnter Qualität.

November 2010
Nach Veränderungen in der Eigentümerstruktur erweitert sich das Portfolio im neuen Unternehmensverbund um Infrastrukturlösungen, Managed Services, Applikationen und qualifizierte Beratungsleistungen. upstreamNet ist ein unabhängiges, österreichisches Unternehmen im Managementbesitz.

March 2013
Die Möglichkeiten im Bereich Colocation werden durch Hinzunahme einer zusätzlichen Rechenzentrumsfläche im on demand center (ODC21) erweitert. Ab sofort stehen somit weitere 200 Quadratmeter Rechenzentrumsfläche zur Verfügung, die auf individuelle Kundenanforderungen adaptiert werden können. Mit der Integration in den eigenen Dark Fiber Backbone erschließen sich neue Lösungsmöglichkeiten punkto Hochverfügbarkeit und Standortredundanz aus einer Hand. 

May 2021
The Raiffeisen Datacenter Stadlau (1220 Vienna) was moved into as another data centre location, where the company provides bank-certified housing and IP connectivity with redundant connection to the AS8218 backbone for its customers. In one of the most modern data center locations in Austria, the quality of the services is the top priority, which can be ensured around the clock at affordable prices with an included NOC on site.
