LINX Selects Digital Realty As Its First City POP In Over Six Years
Dual LAN infrastructure to be run from Digital Chessington Data Centre.
Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has announced that the London Internet Exchange (LINX) will be establishing a full Point of Presence (POP) in support of running its dual LAN infrastructure from Digital Realty's Chessington data centre. The Chessington facility is already home to a large community of Cloud Service Providers and Content Delivery Networks, a significant proportion of whom value the level of traffic optimisation afforded by an indigenous Internet Exchange.
LINX connects over 550 ASNs from 61 countries around the world, enabling more reliable exchange of Internet traffic, increased routing control and improved performance. Through LINX the members are able to reach 85% of the total global Internet, making it the most connected Internet Exchange Point in the world. High quality data centres are critical to LINX's on-going reliability, as they house the equipment which LINX uses to operate the network upon which its members depend.
