iRacing.com Adds European Server Farm

[VELOCIPEDE]

iRacing.com has added a new server farm in The Netherlands to its two existing installations in the United States and Australia. In addition to the redundancy and security provided by the new hardware, the new Amsterdam-based server further augments iRacing’s Internet connection through a blend of multiple providers, assuring members of the best possible network routes and connections.

“In addition to adding yet more capacity to the iRacing service, the new servers will be a real plus our European members,” says iRacing.com president Tony Gardner. “Their network traffic will no longer have to cross the Atlantic Ocean, so the information exchange between computer and server will be that much better. The server – and therefore the drivers -- will know much more quickly where any given car is relative to others. As a result, the tight racing will only get tighter!”

The European servers will initially be available for practice and hosted sessions, and will be integrated into iRacing’s official races once their functionality has been confirmed. However, Gardner also stressed that iRacing will take pains not to split official race events onto multiple server farms.
