EdgeConneX has partnered with Vegas Internet Exchange (Vegas-IX), having built the newly available core Vegas-IX node into its Las Vegas Edge Data Center (EDC).
Located at 1541 Pama Lane in Las Vegas, the expansion ensures dynamic content delivery to local-market consumers. Vegas-IX is the first non-profit internet exchange to be created in the state of Nevada.
EdgeConneX will be providing secure hosting as the founding facility for the Vegas-IX node. This node will enable local EdgeConneX customers, including wireless carriers, service providers, content delivery networks (CDNs) and enterprises to have direct access to Vegas-IX peering services as well as additional offerings, such as multi-lateral peering agreement (MLPA) route servers, dedicated Gigabit Ethernet and private virtual local area networks (VLANs).
“At EdgeConneX, enabling enhanced connectivity at the edge of the network remains a core objective as we continue to seek out new opportunities to provide low-latency Internet services for customers outside of Tier 1 markets,” said Clint Heiden, chief commercial office, EdgeConneX. “The newly available Vegas-IX node in our Las Vegas EDC will be instrumental to the growth of the region, offering additional internet access points for local customers on a secure and reliable network.”
Founded in the fall of 2016 by Ninja-IX, Vegas-IX is operated at no monthly port cost to participants.
“Developing an Internet exchange in Las Vegas is a great opportunity for the peering community to grow in the Silver State,” said Paul Emmons, executive director of Vegas-IX. “As the founding facility, EdgeConneX’s Las Vegas EDC will provide access to some of the largest content delivery networks available, allowing us to offer enhanced peering services to the market.”
