TELEHOUSE America Partners With Extreme Networks to Upgrade the NYIIX Centillion Platform
February 19 2018 - 7:15AM
TELEHOUSE America, a KDDI Group company and the global leader for
data centers, international internet exchanges and managed IT
services, announces that it has partnered with Extreme Networks,
Inc. (NASDAQ:EXTR) to upgrade the New York International Internet
Exchange (NYIIX) Centillion Platform to Centillion II in order
to meet strong market demands for 100G ports.
NYIIX selected Extreme Networks for its superior ability to
provide future-proof architecture, carrier-grade reliability, and
resources to support its customers. The Centillion II
Platform is 400G-ready and consists of Extreme’s SLX routers for
both core routers and edge routers, which significantly increase
the number of available 100G ports. NYIIX members will be
migrated to the upgraded platform in multiple phases beginning in
late February.
NYIIX was founded in 1996. It is one of the largest public
peering exchange points on the East Coast of the U.S. with seven
locations in the New York metro area, including 85 Tenth Avenue, 7
Teleport Drive, 60 Hudson Street, 111 8th Avenue and 32 Avenue
of Americas. In New Jersey, NYIIX has two locations: 165
Halsey Street in Newark and 2 Emerson Lane in Secaucus.
In line with the overall business growth, the peering traffic
through NYIIX has been steadily rising. Reports show the
current traffic peaking at over 600 Gigabits per second.
“I am pleased to announce the new Centillion II Platform,” says
Akio Sugeno, Vice President, Internet Engineering, Operations and
Business Development, TELEHOUSE America. “The current market
demands have accelerated our need to upgrade the platform.
Strong demand for 100G ports is the result of our continuing
ability to increase NYIIX members along with customer confidence in
our service. Such an accomplishment proves that NYIIX is one
of the most important IXPs in the United States.”
“We’re excited to partner with TELEHOUSE America to provide
NYIIX members with cutting-edge solutions capable of meeting their
needs,” adds Nabil Bukhari, Senior Vice President, Products,
Extreme Networks. “With the new update to the Centillion
Platform, NYIIX members will experience higher capacity and more
redundant infrastructure, enhancing the overall experience and
providing better support for customers.”
The TELEHOUSE America / NYIIX team is currently attending NANOG
72 at the Loews Atlanta Hotel at Atlanta, Georgia. Email
