Peering and Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) are the backbone of the Internet, enabling networks to exchange traffic directly rather than routing through third-party providers. Exchanging traffic via peering improves performance and gives you instant reach, redundancy, and network choice while reducing costs, improving latency, and enhancing security. It also provides you with greater network visibility and control over your network traffic.
Internet Exchange Points serve as neutral meeting grounds where multiple networks can interconnect efficiently. Through a single port connection, you can access thousands of networks, open up new markets, increase control and drive more business opportunities. This p2p connectivity eliminates the need for expensive transit routes, creating more direct and efficient paths for your data.
Iron Mountain's data centers house some of the world's leading internet exchanges, including AMS-IX, LINX and DE-CIX, giving you access to premier global connectivity ecosystems. Our comprehensive peering solutions offer three distinct approaches to meet your specific connectivity needs.
Can be accessed from dedicated ports within our Meet-Me-Rooms, via our Metro Wave services, Private Network Transport, or through one of our Software Defined Network (SDN) partners, including Megaport. This flexibility ensures you can reach major strategic internet exchange points regardless of your current infrastructure setup.
Establish low latency, direct & private connections in our meet-me-rooms between your equipment and other networks, carriers, or cloud providers within our data centers. We offer flexible purchase models that enable you to stay connected to the networks of your choice, including month-to-month plans and committed-term options with monthly rates.
Extend your reach beyond your core data center with cost-effective optical capacity. Metro Wave enables connections to cloud providers, regional PoPs, strategic partners, carriers, peering exchanges and more across metro areas. Choose from either dedicated waves or unprotected waves for high-performance network services.
Achieve the benefits of physical cross connects through software-defined networking. Virtual cross connects, also known as Private Network Transport, provide flexible, on-demand connectivity that can be provisioned and modified quickly through our digital platform, perfect for dynamic network requirements and multi-cloud strategies.
Access enterprise-grade internet connectivity with our Direct Internet Access services. With guaranteed bandwidth, symmetrical upload and download speeds, and 24/7 technical support, our DIA solutions ensure your business maintains continuous, high-performance connectivity to the global internet, available in increments between 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps.
Optimize your network traffic and reduce costs with our Peering and Internet Exchange services. By establishing direct connections with content and service providers, you can bypass traditional transit providers, improving latency, controlling routing paths, and enhancing overall network efficiency.
Simplify your multi-cloud strategy with dedicated, secure connections to major cloud service providers. Our Cloud On-Ramp services deliver private, high-bandwidth links to AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and other platforms, enhancing performance while reducing the complexity and security concerns associated with public internet connections.
