About us
Als österreichisches Unternehmen wird upstreamNet seit bald zwei Jahrzehnten seinem ausgezeichneten Ruf für qualitativ hochwertige Housingdienste und IP-Connectivity auf höchstem Niveau gerecht. Mit Änderung in der Eigentümerstruktur 2010 ist das erfolgreiche Unternehmen breiter aufgestellt und hat durch den Unternehmensverbund das Service- und Leistungsportfolio u.a. um Infrastrukturlösungen, Managed Services, Applikationen und qualifizierte Beratungsleistungen erweitert.
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.
