ETOP Sp z o.o. Information

ETOP sp. z o.o. was established in 2000. Initially the company focused on the implementation of modern B2B systems and CRM systems for companies in the insurance and financial sector. A year later in 2001 the needs of our customers made us implement wide area network services using the fiber optics and wireless technologies. Also in 2001 Etop sp. z o.o. became one of the first network partners with Akamai Inc. and a RIPE member. Our first Tier1 network connection was established in 2001. Years 2001-2004 resulted in rapid increase of server hosting space demand to the point where the capacity of our first colocation rooms was not enough, which forced us to invest and expand our colocation infrastructure. A constantly increasing demand for server lease and colocation serviced in the following years was an incentive to further investments and creation of the new brand Datahouse.pl. In 2008, thanks to regulatory changes we have implemented a DSL service based on the BSA agreement under the name Etlink. The same period resulted in another new brand - a hosting service under the brand Hostilla.pl. In 2010, our range of services under the brand name Datahouse.pl was extended by VPS hosting services using the Parallels technology. 2010 was also the year when IPv6 services were implemented making us one of the first Providers in Poland to use IPv6. Interconnections between different providers were developed simultaneously with the development of physical infrastructure. From the very beginning, Etop has been present in many domestic traffic exchange points GIX, WIX, PLIX, TPIX, Thinks and since 2011 also present in the Amsterdam AMSIX traffic exchange point where we has direct peering connections with such giants as Microsoft, Facebook or Amazon. Our international transit providers were are are many Tier1 class operators such as UUNET, Tiscali, Cogent, Level, NTT and Hurricane Electric.
