the Debian project, supplier of one of the first distributions of the system operating in the history of Linux, chose LeaseWeb Netherlands, a global brand part of LeaseWeb hosting with more than 60,000 physical servers under management, to deploy and host their globally available Debian OS Archive Snapshot with 80 terabytes ( TB) of capacity and plenty of room to grow.
The Debian OS Snapshot Archive, available http://snapshot.debian.org, access to old software allowed in Debian since the first version of the operating system there more than twenty years. The snapshot archive provides developers access to a huge amount of historical information about Debian packages , which enables software development, including debugging and patching.

As part of a three year hosting contract , LeaseWeb Netherlands provided a private rack with storage servers to the Debian project, housed in one of its data centers in the Amsterdam region. The solution would be to provide Debian with improved the user experience through additional bandwidth capacity delivered and a direct connection to one of the largest IP networks in the world with more than 4 5 Tbps of available bandwidth.

"There are thousands of Debian software packages on the snapshot platform. He has twenty years of history captured in one place. If developers do not have a local repository available, they can easily find an old version years ago, making the archive a valuable asset for them. But to have everything available online on a global basis is a great demand for most hosting providers. the high performance of LeaseWeb Netherland infrastructure and global reach ensures our instant archive is available to developers around the world. "
