TELEHOUSE NYIIX and The London Internet Exchange (LINX)
have today announced a new strategic partnership within the U.S. NYIIX
and LINX NoVA, both Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), will be
interconnecting to allow each IXP’s members to peer with the other
party’s members. The connection is planned to go live in the next few
weeks.
Together, these entities are expanding
their customers’ ability to peer, enabling access to a greater “Network
of Networks” and empowering enhanced speed, increased control and
bandwidth, greater reliability and lower costs.
LINX
recently announced a further network expansion to its U.S.
interconnection point, LINX NoVA, based in Northern Virginia, moving
from three data center points of presence (PoPs) to four. Driven by U.S.
growth and an existing strong partner relationship with TELEHOUSE
Europe, this NYIIX partnership allows networks peering at LINX NoVA or
any of NYIIX’s U.S. locations to leverage the strong ecosystems across
this mutual portfolio of interconnection points.
Established in
1996 and founded by TELEHOUSE America, the NYIIX Peering Exchange is one
of the largest neutral Internet exchange points on the U.S. East Coast
and across the world. Today, TELEHOUSE America delivers interconnection
points in New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles with over 250 member
networks connected and peering and more than 1 Tbps in peak traffic.
Jennifer Holmes, CCO for LINX, has been overseeing the partnership. She states,
“We have had such a strong relationship with TELEHOUSE in London for
over 25 years, and growing our U.S. footprint has been high on our
strategic agenda for a while. We are really excited to be partnering
with the team at TELEHOUSE America, KDDI America and TELEHOUSE NYIIX to
grow peering services in the U.S. together – for the good of the
Internet.”
Akio Sugeno, VP of Engineering for TELEHOUSE NYIIX, says,
“Our mission at TELEHOUSE NYIIX has always been to provide unparalleled
connectivity, data transmission, speed and cost reduction for every
business and organization connecting across the U.S. or the globe. This
partnership will further reinforce and enhance NYIIX’s service offerings
to the Internet community.”
LINX
NoVA is a fast-growing interconnection platform, present in multiple
data center locations within the Northern Virginia region – a key
location for networks to be present. It is a well-established IXP with
many diverse networks connected, including key content delivery networks
(CDNs) and regional ISPs. LINX NoVA is close to the Virginia Beach
Landing Station, where key subsea cables terminate, including MAREA
(U.S. to Europe) and BRUSA (South America to U.S.). This further cements
the area as a popular location for hosting and interconnection.
