Telx, a domestic interconnection and colocation data center operator, announced it has become the first colocation and interconnection provider to offer a virtual private network-network access point (VPN-NAP)  that is optimized for video transmission.

Branded as the Telx Video Xchange, the interexchange service lets customers deploy and use video conferencing or Telepresence equipment with other entities on different networks. The service solves critical inter-enterprise video issues that have hindered the adoption of such technology to date, such as mis-matched quality of service, addressing conflicts and asynchronous security, for carriers, enterprises, and systems integrators

.

VPN-NAPs are network exchange facilities that connect networks for private, private to private and/or public communications. Using this architecture for the Telx Video Xchange provides a secure business-to-business video exchange that lets a client connect to its customers, suppliers and partners that are operating on different private networks. Standards-based addressing, security and quality of service transliteration are handled in the Telx Video Xchange, ensuring quality transmission of video for customers.
