France IX Extends its Network to Marseille
PARIS, October 25, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
The internet exchange point France IX enlarges its footprint to the
strategic location of Marseille. This is the 9th point of presence (PoP) in
France and the first out of Paris.
Extending its network in SFR NetCenter in Marseille was a cornerstone of
France IX's strategy right from the beginning. This move indeed enables the
global peering point to open France to the world and more precisely to Asia,
Middle East and Africa.
As many submarine communication cables land in Marseille (i.e SEACOM,
I-ME-WE, TGN Eurasia) France IX positions its new PoP as the front door to
world exchanges. The exponential internet traffic coming from these areas of
the world needs a way to enter Europe and spread over it.
Even if France IX's goal is to connect France to the outside in the
peering world, part of France IX's roadmap consists of investing the French
regional areas in order to gather as many French operators, ISPs, hosters
and so on as possible. This can happen in two different ways. In regions
where an internet exchange point is already well-established France IX will
set up partnerships as it was done with Lyonix, the internet exchange point
based in Lyon. Otherwise France IX will gradually look for places to install
a PoP and reach out to new French peers.
Thus Marseille represents the first of several network extensions in
France.
From now on any entity owning an Autonomous System Number (ASN) and
present in SFR Netcenter can access France IX's peering services and
exchange traffic with more than 100 operators, CDNs, gamers and other peers.
