AMS-IX, the world leading Internet Exchange, and SifyTechnologies
Limited (NASDAQ: SIFY), headquartered in Chennai, India,
India’s most comprehensive ICT service & solution provider,
today announced the expansion of their footprint of internet
exchanges in India. The new interconnection hubs are going to be
situated in Kolkata, Noida, Hyderabad, and Chennai.
With close to half the population that is internet
savvy, India is one of the largest and fastest-growing markets
for digital consumers and businesses in the world. AMS-IX and Sify
are committed to enhancing the quality of the Internet in India by
increasing connectivity through public peering. The partnership
between AMS-IX and Sify started with the launch of a neutral and
independent Internet Exchange in Mumbai. By expanding to the
digital hotspots of Kolkata, Noida, Hyderabad, and Chennai,
Sify and AMS-IX seek to enhance the quality of network
interconnections in these regions as well.
Peter van Burgel, CEO, AMS-IX said, “Last couple of years
we saw tremendous growth in India with traffic nearly doubling in a
year time. By expanding to four new locations AMS-IX and Sify
Technologies are delivering on their promise to bring high quality
and value-for-money connectivity to the region.”
Harsha Ram, Head – Network Business, Sify, said, “With
this partnership with AMS-IX, Sify seeks to give content,
application and service providers wider options to interconnect
with each other across the metros of India thereby optimizing
latency and cost and significantly improving user experience.
The new Internet Exchanges in Kolkata (AMS-IX Kolkata),
Hyderabad (AMS-IX Hyderabad), Noida (AMS-IX Noida), and Chennai
(AMS-IX Chennai) are expected to start operations in 2021. In
addition, AMS-IX India will be rebranded as AMS-IX Mumbai with the
existing Sify Airoli DC as the new node.
All exchanges will be built using the AMS-IX
(IX-as-a-service) solution that allows partners to rapidly set up
and run Internet Exchanges. Customers will be able to connect and
exchange traffic via dedicated ports with speeds of 1, 10, or 100
Gbps, which allows them to reduce latency and save costs.
