Internet Exchange Peering Solution - Abstract
At Iron Mountain data centers, you’re just a cross connect away from major exchanges, as well as hundreds of carriers and cloud providers.
Exchanging traffic via peering improves performance and makes your data go further for less. It gives you instant reach, redundancy and network choice at the same time as reducing costs, improving latency and security. Reach major strategic internet exchange points from a dedicated port within our meet-me-rooms, via our metro wave, via private network transport or through one of our sdn partners.

It also provides you with greater network visibility and control. Our data centers house some of the world’s leading IXs, including AMSIX, LINX and DE-CIX. You can access thousands of networks, open up new markets and drive up traffic levels and business opportunities via a single port connection. You can also access major strategic IX points from a dedicated port within our Meet-Me-Rooms, via our Metro Wave, Private Network Transport or through one of our SDN partners. And you can quickly and easily set up private peering relationships with any partner in Iron Mountain’s 2,000+ strong global ecosystem.
