What is AMS-IX Cross-IX?

Many organisations find themselves in a complex web of connectivity requirements. Connecting to multiple internet exchanges traditionally involves:

• Managing multiple hardware installations
• Maintaining numerous colocation facilities
• Coordinating power and cross-connect arrangements
• Negotiating separate contracts with each exchange
• Orchestrating equipment delivery and maintenance across various locations

These challenges not only create operational complexity but also lead to escalating costs and resource drain that could be better invested elsewhere in your business.

Instead of maintaining separate physical connections to each internet exchange, Cross-IX provides a consolidated access point. With a single VLan connection you can access our IX partners, eliminating the need for separate hardware installations and reducing the complexity of your network infrastructure.

Cross-IX is particularly valuable for:

• Cloud service providers seeking efficient ways to expand their network footprint
• Enterprises looking to optimise their connectivity costs
• Content providers requiring reliable, low-latency connections to multiple markets
• Network operators aiming to simplify their peering relationships

So far, AMS-IX have already established partnerships with Milan - IX and Netnod IX. This is just the beginning as we're continuing to expand our network of Internet Exchange partners around Europe.
