May 5, 2009 : Interxion Partners with AMS-IX


📅 - Agreement allows AMS-IX members to join company's pan-European community of over 500 connected carriers and ISPs.

Interxion, a provider of carrier-neutral data centres, today announced a partnership agreement that will extend the AMS-IX exchange infrastructure into its recently expanded AMS5 data centre. The company states that the agreement will allow its Amsterdam customers to reduce latency and transit costs by peering directly across the AMS-IX switch, while AMS-IX members will be able to expand their applications infrastructure in the security of its 4,500m2 facility.

It further states that located in Amsterdam, AMS-IX is a non-profit, neutral and independent internet exchange that currently connects over 300 international parties. The company claims that AMS-IX provides high value, quality peering services, and is the largest European internet exchange measured by traffic volume and the 15th European internet exchange to locate in one of its 24 European data centres. It adds that as a result of the agreement, AMS-IX members can now join its pan-European community of over 500 connected carriers and ISPs.

"Partnering with AMS-IX brings benefits both to our customers and to theirs,'' said Michel van den Assem, Interxion Netherlands Managing Director. "At Interxion, AMS-IX members can build out secure, serviced network and content delivery infrastructure as needed, and Interxion customers can gain improvements in quality and cost-effectiveness by peering directly at AMS-IX.''

''Despite the current economic climate, levels of internet traffic continue to rise, so our members need to enhance their connectivity and expand their infrastructure,'' said Job Witteman, CEO of AMS-IX. "Interxion is home to a vibrant community which includes many of Europe's leading carriers and ISPs, and its Amsterdam facility can provide world-class data centre infrastructure and services, making it the perfect partner from the point view of both the exchange and its members.''
