ProTraf Solutions selected vXchnge to provide the power and infrastructure redundancy required to keep the platform up and running, taking advantage of vXchnge's 100% uptime guarantee. By leveraging vXchnge's New York City PoP, ProTraf Solutions was able to secure cost-effective rack space for its colocation and dedicated server interests, as well as access to key backbone networks present in New York City required for mitigating large DDoS attacks.
