Yandex announced today that moved into Europe by placing its networking equipment in Frankfurt at an Internet Exchange Point.
DE-CIX provides direct traffic exchange between its participants. Having connected to DE-CIX in Frankfurt, Yandex reduced the number of transit providers carrying its traffic to Europe and shortened the service response time for its Russian speaking users living abroad.
The company rented a dedicated channel to Frankfurt and set up its networking equipment within its Local Network program announced on December 10, 2007. Besides Frankfurt, Moscow and Saint Petersburg, Yandex has its server equipment in Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg and Kiev.
Yandex celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2007. During 2007 Yandex has introduced a new search platform, revamped image search and launched a number of new services including Yandex.Fotki (a free photo hosting service) and satellite map search.
Yandex has six offices in total and has over 1000 employees.
