VeriSign has chosen Teleglobe to host the new cluster. Teleglobe claims that its selection by VeriSign "is testimony to the breadth and robustness of [Teleglobe's] Internet service provider's network." Teleglobe claims to be a global Tier 1 Internet service provider that operates the IP backbone, AS 6453, which circles the globe with an MPLS-enabled IP network connects more than 90 countries to the Internet and supports IPv6, the new generation IP protocol. The site began live operations on December 3 and, according to VeriSign provides Australia's 13.9 million Internet users, with enhanced performance, enhanced connection speeds and greater stability. VeriSign is the authoritative registry for .com and .net domain names globally, managing relationships with more than 480 ICANN-accredited registrars and processing more than 15 billion queries daily in its operation of .com and .net Internet infrastructure. It does this through a constellation of 18 Internet server clusters around the world that monitor and mirror the world's Internet traffic for .com and .net. VeriSign announced plans earlier in 2005 to install 14 regional Internet server clusters around the world by the end of 2006. To date it has installed additional sites in Korea and China. A site is also planned for Brazil later this year. In 2006, additional sites will be added in 12 locations including Thailand and India. According to Gregg Rowley, vice president, Asia Pacific for VeriSign, "The close proximity of an Internet server cluster in Sydney for .com and .net will improve the Internet experience for the growing numbers of Australian Internet users and contribute to economic growth in Australia
