Feb. 25 – As of today, FiberRing offers remote AMS-IX connectivity to provide customers with peering access to the Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX) in a single contract. This allows Internet businesses worldwide to streamline access to peering and reduce latency.

With over 550 connected IP networks, the AMS-IX is the world’s largest Internet exchange. Its members include ISPs, content providers, mobile operators, web hosts, cloud companies, and application providers. The new FiberRing service offers customers the advantage of an IP connection to the AMS-IX in order to peer remotely with any of the connected networks.

FiberRing maintains a highly resilient and redundant network which serves as a transport vehicle to the AMS-IX. Connectivity is available at more than 45 FiberRing Points of Presence (PoPs), from Los Angeles to Warsaw. An all-optical MPLS-enabled backbone empowers FiberRing to offer this connection at high speed and with very low latency. The service allows multiple VLANs to be mapped onto a single port. The supported port capacity ranges from 100 Mbps up to 10 Gbps.

Marcel Legtenberg, Manager of Sales at FiberRing, said: “Thanks to our remote AMS-IX connectivity, businesses no longer have to colocate servers in an AMS-IX-certified PoP and contract directly with the AMS-IX for peering. Instead we provide easy access to the AMS-IX’ peering services with a single contract. Businesses can stay close to their infrastructure while we take care of the connections. Our extensive range of supported port capacity allows customers to tailor the service to their needs.”

Cara Mascini, Chief Marketing Officer at the AMS-IX, aded, “FiberRing offers potential AMS-IX customers excellent connectivity possibilities. We aim to support businesses in achieving ultra-fast IP Interconnectivity without blocking, and delivering those benefits to their end customers. This remote service offered by FiberRing will help businesses to do just that.”
