EvoSwitch Offers AMS-IX Peering Options

AMSTERDAM — Dutch carrier neutral data center EvoSwitch has announced an agreement with AMS-IX, one of the world's largest Internet exchanges, to allow EvoSwitch to offer its customers a direct connection to the exchange.

AMS-IX (Amsterdam Internet Exchange) is a neutral and independent, not for profit Internet junction that brings more than 300 parties together to exchange Internet traffic at more than 650 Gigabits per second.

According to the company, the EvoSwitch data center will be AMS-IX's 15th partner organization. AMS-IX facilitates the exchange of Internet traffic by telecom carriers, hosting providers, banks, insurance companies, and other high traffic customers via "peering" — a less costly process than buying transit traffic from telecom carriers and which allows for more flexibility and redundancy when setting up and controlling Internet traffic within and between networks.

"Normally customers who opt for AMS-IX's services must come to us themselves," explains Cara Mascini, Marketing Manager at AMS-IX. "That may be a complex process for customers who also set up their equipment at a data center for colocation."

"The partnership allows EvoSwitch to handle the connection with AMS-IX for customers. In other words, customers can ask EvoSwitch to connect them to AMS-IX," Mascini added. "As a result customers receive a one stop shop offer from EvoSwitch, which includes the Internet exchange."

AMS-IX expects that hosting customers who require a lot of data center space will benefit the most from the collaboration with EvoSwitch.

"EvoSwitch is a professional and secure data center with a lot of space and expansion options," Mascini said. "The partnership represents an excellent development for parties that want to combine the growth potential at the data center with a connection to AMS-IX."

EvoSwitch's Tier3+ data center is CO2 neutral, providing added benefits to company's trying to go "green."

"A lot of thought has gone into the green concept of EvoSwitch," explains Mascini. "The data center is ecologically sound where it concerns the technology, for instance by using energy saving cooling methods. Moreover, the associated aspects have also been set up in an environmentally friendly way, such as the use of green energy, energy saving cars and lighting, and the planting of trees to compensate for any remaining CO2 emission."

EvoSwitch Commercial Director Eric Boonstra is very pleased with the new partnership with AMS-IX.

"AMS-IX is important to us and our customers. It is the biggest Internet junction in Europe and encourages many customers to opt for EvoSwitch, not least because EvoSwitch is close to AMS-IX and has a large floor surface available for colocation purposes," Boonstra said. "Our partnership with AMS-IX allows us to provide our customers with peering options quickly and efficiently."
