The top five benefits of remote peering

Remote peering offers numerous advantages. The top five benefits are:

Connect in a matter of days
Remote peering enables you to connect with other parties, without physical presence in the same facility. Our partners make remote peering easy for you. They are already connected to AMS-IX, which allows you to set up a remote connection in days. This saves you a lot of time and money, and allows you to benefit from the advantages of remote peering quickly.
Not deploying hardware also greatly increases your flexibility. Not only can you set up a remote peering connection quickly, but also scale or even remove a connection just as fast if needed.


Quick and easy
We work closely with specialized partners that make connecting to AMS-IX remotely quick and easy. Our partners know your company, your customersand the challenges you face, and support you with an offering that suits your needs.
You benefit from a one-stop-shop for remote peering. Our partners deliver you a complete package, including the provisioning, management, supportand billing of all remote peering services. You don’t have to deal with and coördinate processes with multiple parties; we will coördinate the entire process directly with your partner.


Connect with allies worldwide
Remote peering greatly increases the flexibility of your organization to connect with allies and partners around the world. You can connect to AMS-IX from more than 800 locations worldwide.
You can also choose to connect with multiple Internet Exchanges around the world such as AMS-IX. This helps you reduce latency by avoiding unnecessary hops over intermediary nodes, and shortening the distance data travels to its destination. Connecting with multiple Internet Exchanges also increases your redundancy and therefore resiliency.


Improve the customer experience
Remote peering can lower latency, decrease packet loss and increase throughput, improving the end user experience. Important, because technical issues and long loading times can drive visitors away from your website or application.


Minimize risks
Physical presence in an internet exchange requires you to not only invest in the purchase of equipment, but also in the implementation, configuration and maintenance of this hardware. Remote peering however allows you to connect to a location remotely, without physical presence. No capital expenditure (Capex) is required, which minimizes financial risks.
Our resellers only provide the connection to our platform. This gives you full control over both your peering and routing policy. You therefore profit from the flexibility and quick and easy setup of an external partner, without compromising on control.
