NL-ix

20 years ago we started NL-ix and decided to not only connect the main datacenters in the large hubs but also bring our IX to the doorstep of regional datacenters. By doing so, we offered smaller and medium-sized networks easy access to our Peering platform, and this gave birth to our distributed Internet Exchange. We quickly recognized that our customer’s Interconnection needs to be stretched beyond Public Peering only and developed a complete portfolio of Interconnection services, enabling us to not only offer Peering but also partial & full Transit as well as inter-datacenter Transport services on a single port. A key factor in this was and still is, our resilient low-latency network that made instant European-wide Exchange and Transportation of traffic possible. Today our complete portfolio is directly available in over 100 datacenters in Europe. A portfolio of services that is growing, as we are harnessing 20 years of knowledge and experience into new innovative services to better accommodate both our traditional and new customer’s needs; Adaptive Transit, a hybrid Peering & Transit service; Elastic Interconnect, a complete suite of Interconnection services for Enterprises as well as a growing number of direct connections to the most important Clouds.
