Connection to World’s Leading IXP Enhances Ping Networks Reach and Performance in Europe
LONDON, 3rd January 2013 — Ping Networks have announced today that it has expanded its network reach and performance throughout Europe by connecting to AMS-IX, one of the largest Internet exchanges in the world located in Amsterdam.
Simon Chamberlain, Managing Director at Ping Networks comments;
“In 2012 we announced the beginnings of a major PoP expansion program for Ping which is currently being executed. As well as establishing a PoP in every major data centre in the UK we’re now pushing further into Europe to meet the increasing demands of our international client base and our UK clients that need to deliver their content and data around Europe and beyond.
“This new peering relationship with AMS-IX enables Ping Networks to interconnect directly with multiple and major European IP networks and accelerate our Internet performance around Europe.”
The connection to AMS-IX enables Ping Networks to peer with over 500 networks within the AMS-IX community, which includes Internet Service Providers (ISPs), cloud providers, hosting companies, content providers and telecommunications carriers.
Chamberlain continues;
“As data volumes grow exponentially there is increased pressure on network providers to deliver increased performance as well as reliability. We’re seeing more and more demand from the likes of content and media providers and international finance institutions who have vast amounts of data that needs to be delivered anywhere and everywhere, fast. Peering at Internet Exchange Points such as AMS-IX and peering with other leading network providers with the common goal of delivering network traffic as quickly and reliably as possible is the best way of ensuring we stay ahead of this incredibly steep curve.”
The connection to AMS-IX is Pings third additional primary Internet Exchange point in Europe during the last 3 months having also recently established peering presence at LINX (London Internet Exchange) in London and the recently launched IX-Manchester.
