Hurricane Electric Plugs into Amsterdam IX.
2005-01-13, HostMan.biz
Hurricane Electric (he.net), a technical service provider, announced yesterday that it has expanded its global network by connecting to an Internet Exchange point in Amsterdam called AMS-IX (The Amsterdam Internet Exchange).
According to the company, the newly added exchange point will provide additional redundancy to its global network and create shorter packet routes to numerous other networks. Hurricane Electric employs a Gigabit Ethernet port to the AMS-IX switch, which gives it the ability to peer with hundreds of additional networks, institutions and companies throughout Europe.
"We are excited about the expansion to Amsterdam because it will give us even better performance in Europe and over our entire global network," said Mike Leber, Hurricane Electric president. "Our LINX exchange at Telehouse London was very well received by our national and international customers and we are anticipating an equally positive response to the Amsterdam exchange."
