Additional PoP by AMS-IX USA across CoreSite’s
U.S. data center platform
CoreSite Realty Corporation (NYSE: COR), a premier provider of
secure, reliable, high-performance data center solutions
across the U.S., today announced that AMS-IX USA Inc., a subsidiary
of AMS-IX (Amsterdam Internet Exchange) in Amsterdam, has
established an AMS-IX Chicago Point-of-Presence (PoP) in CoreSite’s
CH1 data center. This PoP enables both companies to provide
additional peering opportunities to the Chicago Internet and
technology community. AMS-IX’s Chicago deployment follows its most
recent deployment of a PoP with CoreSite in the Silicon Valley
market in December 2014.
AMS-IX Chicago provides a physical platform where organizations
can meet to exchange Internet traffic in a stable, fast and
cost-effective manner. AMS-IX Chicago builds on the neutral and
distributed formula of AMS-IX, which is the world’s largest
Internet connectivity hub with approximately 700 connected parties
and a peak Internet traffic rate of close to 3.5 Tb/s.
“CoreSite’s secure, network-rich Chicago data center is the
perfect location for us to further grow AMS-IX Chicago and expand
our choice of peering opportunities,” said Job Witteman, CEO of
AMS-IX. “With years of experience in operating high-performance
data center and colocation facilities in the United States, we see
CoreSite as a trusted and reliable colocation partner.”
CoreSite’s CH1 facility is strategically located in downtown
Chicago, providing access to low-latency network connections to the
city’s financial, healthcare, media and other enterprises. Enabling
that access, CoreSite’s CH1 data center hosts over 50 network and
cloud service providers, supported by the CoreSite Open Cloud
Exchange and CoreSite’s commitment to excellence in customer
service.
“Peering exchanges are an integral part of the Internet, and
AMS-IX Chicago will bring another valuable option to CoreSite
customers in the Chicago market,” said Brian Warren, SVP Product
and Marketing for CoreSite. “AMS-IX has a proven strategy of
building industry-leading Internet Exchanges around the world, and
we look forward to working with AMS-IX in Chicago as we have in the
Silicon Valley.”
