Cybercon joins MidWest-IX who partnered with Epsilon's CloudLX [...]

📅 May 9, 2017 - Where are we? Our St. Louis Internet exchange in the Netrality facilities at 210 N. Tucker and 900 Walnut has been moving non-negligible bits for under three weeks. We're doing great compared to our Indianapolis exchange's launch, so we have high hopes for the St. Louis market. We're already peaking at over 850 megabit/s.

What if you want to get elsewhere? We have two partners that can take you to other Internet exchanges, cloud service providers and more. The Fusion Network and Epsilon Telecommunications can get you there from your port on our Internet Exchange, just via another VLAN.

What's next? We're still working on getting a couple of the major content networks to sign on, but we need your help. They're wanting to know who is already on the exchange, not who will come if they come. That means we need you to sign on ASAP so we don't lose our momentum with them. We have a promotion available now where you sign up for a port and you don't get a bill until you reach 10% utilization of your port. If you sign up for a 10G port, you can use up to 1G free. This is to encourage networks to sign up so we can start meeting some of the thresholds for these other networks. You can gain some benefit at no cost. Once those other content networks sign on, you'll be seeing a ton of benefit for little cost.

and after that? Like we have done in Indianapolis, we want to be in as many facilities as we can in a market. If you're in another St. Louis-area data center and would like us to expand to you, reach out to us. Assuming we wouldn't lose money doing it, we're open to expanding.
