About this network

AS5403 belongs to APA-IT (marketed as APA-Tech), the IT and data-centre arm of APA — Austria Presse Agentur, Austria's national news agency cooperative.

What it's used for

• Hosting, colocation, managed services and container/Kubernetes platforms run out of APA-IT's own Vienna-area data centres.
• The IT infrastructure behind APA's media products, plus outsourcing and hosting for external customers — media houses, publishers and Austrian enterprises.

Notable

• Hosting address space, not consumer address space: IPs here are servers and managed customer systems, so the ASN shows up as origin for a lot of Austrian media and publishing infrastructure.
• APA-IT operates two redundant Austrian data centres, sited on opposite sides of the Danube as part of its resilience story.

Interesting

• A news agency owning a full-blown commercial data-centre business is unusual: APA-IT was carved out of the APA Group's technology operations and now sells hosting to organisations well outside the news trade.
