365 Data Centers And SFMIX Partner To Expand Internet Exchange Into San Jose
Companies join forces to provide alternative Bay Area Internet peering exchange.
365 Data Centers and the San Francisco Metropolitan Internet Exchange (SFMIX) have announced a partnership to expand the Internet exchange into 365's colocation facility in San Jose. This is SFMIX's first location in San Jose, CA, the heart of the Silicon Valley. The Internet exchange (IX) is comprised of shared network infrastructure for Internet Service Providers (ISPs), content providers, businesses, research and educational institutions to cost-effectively exchange Internet traffic.
The collaboration provides an IX fabric for tenants of 365 Data Centers' San Jose facility an opportunity to connect to other participants on SFMIX. The IX speeds access to the Internet and lowers the cost of interconnection by allowing participants to connect to each other locally rather than having to pay for Internet transit.
