Yandex reached for Europe

Being in a foreign land, the modern Russian-speaking laptop owner and more or less developed dependence on the Internet also from time to time searches for something on the Web. And if at home it is so nice to be aware of being part of a global techno-elite using Google for this purpose, then watching the window look bleak with quivering gulls over the dark waters of the Vltava (or any other river in Central or Eastern Europe of your choice), no Yes, and pull on Yandex. And now he will be with you wherever the wires of the main Internet operators are connected to one of the largest in the Old World traffic exchange points DE-CIX . It was in her, in Frankfurt, that Yandex placed its equipment , allowing “native” packages to travel to Russia and back without transfers.

Other Russian compatriots have already settled in this large transport center of Europe to Yandex. For example, Golden Telecom, Comstar Direct and Science-Communication. There are also “foreign analogues” of the company: Yahoo and Google.

The desire to instruct their equipment in traffic exchange points in Russia, the CIS, and now in the rest of the world, and to become a local resource everywhere, has a permanent character for Yandex and fits into a special corporate program “ Local Network ”.
